Pared down luxury is something Carlisle Bay delivers effortlessly. Your five-star experience starts with airport fast-track and continues with awe-inspiring surroundings in this spectacular Antiguan resort.

Drift away in a Caribbean paradise at Carlisle Bay.

This one-of-a-kind hotel blends the absolute beauty of Antigua with distinguished, understated luxury.

Laidback, friendly and packed with character, there’s no mistaking this as a supremely luxurious getaway destination, but one that doesn’t cater for pomp and fussiness.

All this makes Carlisle Bay one of the best-loved hotels in the Caribbean. The picture-perfect shoreline complete with white sandy beach melts into the lush tropical scenery of inland Antigua. With this tranquil setting, it’s no wonder that Carlisle Bay is considered one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Guests will have full access to all of this, with all the sights, scents and sounds that come with this gorgeously tropical locale.

In the hotel itself, you’ll find exquisite suites decked out with simplistic, stylish furnishings and comfortable touches. Away from your room, you can pamper yourself at the luxe Blue Spa which spreads across an expansive 17,000 square feet. Or, put your feet up poolside and soak up the ambience that oozes from Carlisle Bay’s every pore.

If you’re an active type or have children that need some entertainment, this is also a great place for a luxury family holiday. There are a range of activities to discover. A kids' club will keep little ones out from under your feet, giving you an extra excuse to relax in a way that suits you best. And adults can stay active on the water, explore the local area, or take a yoga class to de-stress and tone.

Dining options span four different restaurants, each with their own distinctive personality. Each has their own picturesque setting and relaxed ambience, so you can sample delights from top chefs in intimate, beautiful surroundings. And if you just fancy a drink, head to one of Carlisle Bay’s bars to sip a cocktail and revel in your own peaceful paradise.
