English Harbour

Carlisle Bay

Tucked into a rainforest-backed bay on Antigua's south coast, Carlisle Bay is a contemporary luxury resort that sets itself apart with a genuinely outstanding programme of activities — one of the Caribbean's best tennis academies, a watersports centre with serious credentials, and a film screening room for evening. The beach here, protected by reefs, is immaculate and rarely crowded.

English Harbour

Curtain Bluff

Curtain Bluff has occupied its improbable perch — a promontory with Caribbean on one side and Atlantic on the other — since 1962, and its all-inclusive formula has never needed reinvention. The resort's tennis programme, managed by Bob Green, is among the world's finest at any resort; the beachfront suites, personal service, and exceptional wine cellar complete a thoroughly exceptional picture.

The Inn at English Harbour — English Harbour
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.2

A quietly elegant boutique hotel that has anchored English Harbour's social scene for decades, The Inn strikes a perfect balance between colonial charm and modern comfort. Hillside rooms overlook Freeman's Bay, and the beach bar below — where the sailing set convenes at sundown — is one of Antigua's most convivial meeting points. Small, personal, and thoroughly authentic.
