Accommodation
A tranquil island paradise just off the north east coast of Antigua, considered by many to be one of the Caribbean's finest islands, Jumby Bay boasts some of the best accommodation to be found in the region. Further paramount to its success, the luxury hotel received the AAA Five-Diamond Award and Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star Rating Award for 2017. Just steps from the palm-fringed sandy beach lie the Beachside Courtyard Suites, characterised by high, vaulted ceilings, light, fresh colours, dark wood furnishings and seductive bathrooms featuring ebony, granite and stone vessels – guests having the option to bathe under sun or stars in private bath tubs and showers set amidst a courtyard garden. Jumby Bay's Pool and Estate Suites feature their own private pool and sun terrace with a selection of larger estate homes available for families seeking extra privacy. Dining options include toes-in-the-sand casual dining at The Verandah, light lunches and snacks at the Pool Grille and fine dining at the Estate House, where Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is served in a setting of colonial-style glamour. This luxury 5 star resort has recently announced its newest culinary experience – The Beach Shack – offering authentic West Indies fare, it is a must-visit for cultivated food mavens. Enjoy the views from the oceanfront infinity-edge pool, which is one of two pools at the property. Further activities encompass bike rides around the island, croquet, tennis, snorkelling, kayaking and scuba diving. Nature lovers can spot Hawksbill turtles as they nest and children will enjoy the Rose Buds® activity programme.
From 'floating' massages to organic body treatments, the spa at Jumby Bay strongly focuses its treatments around indigenous healing traditions. The Spa at Jumby Bay Island features five luxury spa suites, each with private terraces overlooking the azure ocean waters. A designated quiet pool with an infinity edge sits on the far end of Jumby Bay Beach - perfect for blissful days spent sunbathing and looking out to sea.
A year round destination, the best months to visit Antigua are generally during the drier winter months of December to April with temperatures averaging 24°C. The summer months between May and November can be more humid with showers and passing tropical storms a possibility, however visitors during these months may be rewarded with quieter beaches and excellent hotel offers.
