Elite Island Resorts Antigua

The Masters of Antigua.

Did you know there is a rather luxurious resort chain with a huge presence in Antigua? When people talk about resorts in the Caribbean, Sandals and Beaches Resorts usually come to mind, but you should definitely pay attention to Elite Island Resorts. They operate seven resorts across the Caribbean and Central America, and five of them are located in Antigua. Let’s just say they really love that island.

Their five resorts are very unique and have major differences between them. Some resorts are more romantic, one accepts families with children and one is better suited for adults and travelers who want to party. There are also luxurious options that start around $1,300 a night and more affordable choices that cost about $430. The options fit guests of all backgrounds and every single resort in Antigua receives great reviews from travelers worldwide.

Hammock Cove Antigua and Galley Bay Resort and Spa represent their luxury tier, featuring amazing restaurants, premium steakhouses and suites with private indoor pools, all included in your base rate. Can you imagine waking up next to the love of your life and saying, “nope, today I don’t feel like going to the beach, it is time to take a dip in the pool on my private terrace”. These two resorts are among the most luxurious you can find in Antigua and are an amazing choice for adults looking for a romantic moment or honeymooners.

There is also St. James’s Club and Villas, the only family friendly Elite Island Resort that features a Kids Club for children ages four to twelve. Let’s not forget The Verandah Antigua, a great entry point with manageable prices that gives you a warm Antiguan welcome. To round things out, there is Pineapple Beach Club, another adults only resort with plenty of pools and some lively late night parties.

These are all charming boutique style resorts with a strong touch of romance. Open air restaurants are common, as well as candlelight dinners on the beach. Elite Island Resorts also loves to celebrate local Caribbean culture through the design of their properties and their private shows. It is a very fun environment and a great choice for travelers who want to explore Antigua.

Your all inclusive rate covers your room, gratuities, most meals and drinks including local beer and house wine, non-motorized water sports like kayaking and snorkeling, land sports, live shows and Wi-Fi. Some specialty restaurants may cost extra, as well as wine by the bottle and spa services.

Elite Island Resorts is perfect for couples and it is great that all five resorts fit different budgets and offer something unique. Our in-depth guides talk about each resort in detail, including the pros and cons for couples and families looking to spend time in Antigua. All you need to do is relax and imagine that scorching Antiguan sun. Let us handle the rest.
