Nestled on the west coast of Antigua, Hermitage Bay is a distinguished gem among the island’s luxury hotels. This stunning boutique-style property spans over 140 acres of lush, undeveloped land, offering guests panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and neighbouring islands. With its perfect blend of contemporary minimalism and Antigua’s rich colonial heritage, Hermitage Bay is the ideal destination for those seeking a romantic and serene escape.

Exceptional Personalized Service

What truly distinguishes Hermitage Bay from other luxury properties is its unwavering commitment to treating each guest as a cherished member of the Hermitage Bay Family. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with a warm, personal welcome at the front lobby and addressed by name throughout your stay. This personalized approach is a testament to the staff’s dedication and sincere care. Many of the team members have been with the property since its inception in 2007, and their deep sense of camaraderie and pride in their work is evident in every interaction. “I am very selective about those who work with us. They must be kind, compassionate, and genuine. You are not just a guest passing through. You are coming home. We have many guests who return each year, and they are like family to us,” shares Rachel Browne, General Manager. This ethos of kindness and hospitality permeates the entire resort, ensuring that every guest’s stay is not just comfortable and memorable but also enriched with unique and authentic experiences.

A Private Oasis of Luxury

Hermitage Bay boasts a collection of just 30 newly renovated cottage suites, guaranteeing an intimate and secluded experience for all guests. The resort offers three distinct types of suites, each meticulously designed to enhance comfort and privacy while providing awe-inspiring views of the Caribbean Sea.

Hillside Pool Suites

The 17 Hillside Pool Suites are nestled in a tropical paradise, providing guests with ultimate privacy and luxury. Each suite features a private infinity-edged plunge pool, a spacious sunbathing deck, and a wrap-around open-air deck with a lounge area, daybeds, and a dining space. Inside, the suites boast a living area, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and a contemporary bathroom with an oversized bathtub, twin washbasins, and an outdoor garden shower. The thoughtful design ensures guests enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from every corner of their suite.

Beachfront Cottage Suites

These suites are designed to maximize relaxation, featuring a terraced verandah with a daybed, perfect for soaking up the sun or gazing at the stars. Similar to the Hillside Pool Suites, the Beachfront Cottages include a living area, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and a luxurious bathroom with all the modern amenities.

Gourmet Dining by the Sea

Dining at Hermitage Bay is an experience with a strong focus on fresh, locally grown produce and organic ingredients, much of which is sourced from the resort’s own organic kitchen garden.

All meals are served à la carte, with menus curated by the resort’s award-winning chefs, Desroy Spence and Conrod James (aka Chef Sugar). Each day, a new dinner menu is created based on what was freshly acquired. “All of the seafood is caught in the bay (except for two types), and we design each evening’s dinner menu around what was caught fresh that day,” shares Chef Sugar. The cuisine combines Caribbean and international accents, ensuring a diverse and authentic dining experience.

The restaurant at Hermitage Bay is open-sided and tiered at different levels to afford each table a spectacular view of the bay.

For a truly enchanting experience, indulge in private dining on the beach or in your suite, which is available at an additional charge.

Surrounded by the warm glow of tiki torches and a fire table under a moonlit sky, you’ll enjoy a romantic and serene dining atmosphere, making your special occasion unforgettable.
