Hermitage Bay

Hermitage Bay, an intimate adults-only all-inclusive retreat within the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, nestles into a secluded Antiguan cove, blending the Caribbean's untouched beauty with understated luxury for a soulful island escape.

Thirty airy suites, scattered across a 16-acre tropical estate, marry dark polished timbers and crisp white linens with louvered shutters that invite cooling sea breezes. Each suite offers air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, minibars, and private verandas with views of the turquoise bay or fragrant gardens; many include outdoor showers or private plunge pools. Hillside Pool Suites, with wraparound decks and panoramic vistas of Montserrat's silhouette, craft a private haven for honeymooners, welcomed with complimentary Champagne. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps guests connected in this peaceful sanctuary.

Two beachfront restaurants, sourcing organic produce from the resort's own garden, serve daily-changing menus of regional cuisine, from spiced fish to tropical desserts. The main dining venue shifts from breezy daytime meals to candlelit dinners, while the beach club grill pairs grilled lobster with craft cocktails. The Pool Bar, alive with live music, offers pre-dinner drinks, and private terrace dining with dedicated waiters creates intimate evenings. Weekly cooking classes with the head chef unlock local flavours.

The Garden Spa, set in tropical hills, restores with chakra-aligned massages, facials, and aromatherapy, complemented by complimentary yoga, Pilates, and meditation in a serene pavilion. Non-motorized watersports like sailing and kayaking, alongside curated excursions to Antigua's historic sites or sailing charters, stir adventure, with attentive concierge services weaving in the island's vibrant pulse.

Located 10 minutes from Jolly Harbour Marina, 30 minutes from St. John's, and 40 minutes from VC Bird International Airport, Hermitage Bay offers parking and effortless access to Antigua's coastal treasures. This tranquil retreat weaves refined luxury with the soulful rhythm of Antigua's Caribbean heart.
