Amenities

Hermitage Bay is situated on 140 acres of lush tropical gardens facing the Caribbean Sea. The hotel offers three suite types: Beachfront Villa Suites, Garden Pool Villa Suites, and Hillside Pool Villa Suites, each providing private terraces, outdoor showers, and direct beach access. Guests are welcomed to various dining venues including a new Beach Club and the Tree Bar, both featuring local culinary experiences and fresh catches.

Rooms

Each of the 30 villa suites provides expansive wrap-around verandas, many equipped with private pools. The Beachfront Villa Suites, located just steps from the sand, have direct access to the beach and can accommodate picturesque sunset views. The Hillside Pool Villa Suites are perched high, offering privacy and tranquility surrounded by tropical gardens.

Location

Nestled on the west coast of Antigua, Hermitage Bay overlooks crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. The resort is accessible via a 45-minute drive from Antigua International Airport. Nearby, guests can explore the pristine sands of sister island Barbuda through the hotel's arranged private boat or helicopter tours.

Wellness

The Garden Spa, situated high on the hillside, offers treatments and rituals inspired by the island's natural surroundings. Guests can participate in daily yoga and Pilates classes, designed to restore both body and mind. The spa also features open-air treatment rooms, enabling guests to enjoy soothing ocean views while they unwind.

Dining

Dining options at Hermitage Bay highlight local Antiguan flavors and seasonal menus crafted by Executive Chef Desroy Spence. Guests can savor freshly prepared sushi at the Tree Bar or dine at the Beach Club with their feet in the sand. Each meal prominently features locally sourced ingredients, including those grown in the resort's organic kitchen garden.
