Recipient of Hotel of The Year Award, Tatler Travel Guide 2005, Carlisle Bay is a truly exciting resort in the Caribbean. Situated on the unspoilt south coast of Antigua, Carlisle Bay brings chic contemporary luxury to the beach.

From the moment guests arrive, Carlisle Bay will impress. Guests enter the hotel by a bridge over a lily pond, which is dramatically lit at night. The Reception is at one end of The Pavilion, a fantastic double height space with beautiful, custom-made contemporary furniture.

The accommodation is no less impressive. Gordon Campbell Gray, collaborating again with London designer Mary Fox Linton, has developed a series of 82 suites, from junior to three bedroom – each irresistibly spacious, with cool calm interiors and superb ocean views from their private terrace or balcony.

Active guests will enjoy a variety of watersports including sailing, kayaking and windsurfing, diving and swimming in the stunning pool. Professional tennis tuition is available for those that want it on one of the nine tennis courts.

Health, wellbeing and feeling fantastic are fundamental to Carlisle Bay’s philosophy. Blue Spa is one of the first in the world to introduce Living Nature Spa Therapy, a range from New Zealand blended from authentic pure and natural ingredients.

It’s not just about healthy bodies- healthy minds will be fed in the sublime library, rejuvenated by a stroll around the magnificent tropical gardens and entertained in the 45 seat luxurious screening room, where movies are shown every evening.

At Carlisle Bay, it’s all about thoughtful service, fabulous food and feeling great.
