About Carlisle Bay Antigua

The beach is just the beginning here. Located on a stunning horseshoe bay on the southwestern shore of Antigua, Carlisle Bay is a luxury resort looking out over tranquil turquoise waters and swathed by a lush emerald green rainforest. The resort is perfectly complemented by a spa and a wide choice of activities including tennis, yoga and watersports. Spacious all-suite accommodation with ocean views and separate family areas allows guests to enjoy one of the island's finest beaches on the south shore. The Caribbean-inspired décor throughout is contemporary yet elegant and the meticulous attention to detail means that every convenience is provided for. Quiet, restful colors and maximum use of light brings the idyllic outside in. The diverse choice of restaurants and bars offers options ranging from casual, on-the-beach dining to more formal settings, all with locally sourced produce and ingredients from the chef’s own garden. While Carlisle Bay offers impeccable luxury and service, it manages to combine this with a laid-back, unfussy atmosphere you will want to return to again and again.

What We Love

For a quintessentially Caribbean experience, Carlisle Bay ticks all the boxes for a serene wellness getaway. The resort is located next to the beach which is a bonus for sun and water worshippers. If sand is not your thing, there are outdoor tennis courts and watersports galore right out front including sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing and paddleboarding. For extra special indulgence, you can visit the spa and book a variety of massage and body treatments. Few locations surpass Carlisle Bay for your daily sun salutations with complimentary sunrise and sunset yoga sessions on the jetty. Feel the elements at play, bathing in the soft warmth of the sun for your morning meditation while the cool breeze from the rainforest keeps you refreshed during your flow. The guest suites are rather nifty with floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan sitting rooms. And you are spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options which range from authentic Caribbean and Italian to Asian and grilled meats and seafood—all in unique settings that treasure their individual tastes. Wherever you are, the sounds, sights and scents of the island and the ocean will surround you. A vacation here is nothing but pure bliss.
