Carlisle Bay is one of the Caribbean’s most stylish hideaways. With a backdrop of rolling hills and tropical rainforest and situated on the unspoiled south coast of Antigua, it enjoys one of the most stunning beaches on the island. The natural beauty of the area is complemented remarkably by the contemporary chic of the hotel.

Set in lush, tropical gardens, every suite has cool, modern interiors, spacious bathrooms and stunning views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea. The suites have been carefully designed to provide a relaxing and contemporary space in which to unwind with the bed and sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the views.

The hotel’s fantastic array of water sports includes everything from windsurfing, kayaking and sailing, right through to its very own PADI recognised dive centre. Water skiing and wakeboarding are available in the neighbouring bay. There are also nine tennis courts, a state of the art gym and an exceptional ‘Blue Spa’, which offers a wide range of pure and natural treatments, a juice bar, a sauna and a yoga and Pilates area. A library and air-conditioned screening room showing great movies epitomises the hotels contemporary and cutting edge style.

Great food and thoughtful service are Carlisle Bay’s over-riding priorities and there are four outstanding restaurants: Indigo on the Beach offering fresh seafood and healthy grills, East offering exciting pan-Asian food, Ottimo offering fresh pizzas and Italian fare and The Jetty Grill, for adults only, offering grilled meats and fresh seafood.

Hotel closure: Carlisle Bay will be closed between 24 Aug - 11 Oct.
