| Hermitage Bay is a striking new addition to Antigua’s portfolio of luxury hotels. Its unique selling points include a hideaway location on a spectacularly beautiful beach, luxury suites with their own private plunge pools and a sense of style that owes just as much to contemporary minimalism as it does to Antigua’s colonial past.
This stunning boutique-style property lies on the island’s west coast and although the Jolly Harbour marina complex lies just ten-minutes away, you might as well be in a whole different world – all you’ll be able to see is the aquamarine bay, the occasional yacht and a pristine white sand beach so quiet that it might as well be private.
Accommodation is provided by just 25 luxury cottage suites, most of them landscaped into the panoramic hillside, just a handful set back from the 380-metre-long beach. Inside their neutral colour schemes and colonial-esque furnishings are set off by plantation shutters and polished wooden floors, whilst outside they’re all about shingle roofs, timber decking and generous verandahs; those on the hill boasting plunge pools and sunbathing decks complete with chaise longues and sitting areas.
Whilst you may find yourselves quite content to remain within their romantic confines all day, there’s anything from a beachfront swimming pool and non-motorised water sports to relaxing spa treatments to tempt you outdoors. And let’s not forget the cleverly-designed restaurant where the delicious à la carte meals are always enhanced by spectacular views over the sweeping bay. The award-winning chef produces Caribbean and international cuisine to die for.
