Nestled amidst rainforest-covered hills on Antigua's unspoiled south coast, Carlisle Bay graces one of the island's most stunning beaches. A mere 35-minute drive from the vibrant capital of St. John's and 20 minutes from historic Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour, this privately owned hotel, certified by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), emphasizes exceptional food and service. The cool, calm, contemporary interiors set it apart in the West Indies. Guests enjoy a well-equipped spa and fitness center, nine tennis courts, a variety of watersports (excluding jet skis), and a luxurious air-conditioned screening room with varied evening movies. Four outstanding restaurants offer diverse culinary experiences: Indigo on the Beach serves grills, seafood, and healthy options; East tantalizes with exciting Asian cuisine; Ottimo, by the pool, features a wood-burning pizza oven and classic Italian dishes; and the adults-only Jetty Grill sits beachside. Spacious all-suite accommodations, a year-round kids' club for ages 2-7, and activities for older children and teens during school holidays complete the offerings.
