Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Sheltered at the rear by steep green hills, the resort offers 19 acres of privacy among expansive lawns studded with palm trees and fringed by flowering bushes. The ambience of secluded tranquility, along with the absence of air conditioning, primarily appeals to couples seeking relaxing beach holidays featuring sea breezes and soft tropical air.
Amenity highlights: The resort's beach frontage stretches 100 yards and up to 40 yards deep along Freeman's Bay, a nearly circular body that's part of English Harbour. Nearby lies a 65-by-45-foot freshwater swimming pool with an infinity edge overlooking the beach. The resort's water taxi provides complimentary service to the historic sites, shops, and restaurants of Nelson's Dockyard, two minutes away across the harbor.
Insider tip: One of Antigua's most popular attractions, a 487-foot bluff named Shirley Heights offers a spectacular view of English Harbour and the Caribbean Sea and lies 1.25 miles from the resort. Visitors and locals gather here on Sunday afternoons for an outdoor dancing/partying ritual before and after sunset.
