On the unspoilt southwestern shore of Antigua, you’ll find a place of quiet luxury and genuine Caribbean warmth. Carlisle Bay is set on a stunning horseshoe bay, framed by rolling hills and tropical rainforest. It’s a resort that pairs five-star service with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and following a series of exciting refurbishments, the experience is now better than ever. Let’s take a closer look at the newly renovated suites and updated public spaces that make a stay here so special.
Your refreshed Caribbean sanctuary
Carlisle Bay has recently unveiled its beautifully redesigned one-bedroom suites, each offering a unique perspective on this island paradise. The updates focus on creating light, airy spaces that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
The Garden Suites open onto the resort's beautiful foliage, offering an immersive island experience. Inside, you'll find an elegant palette of earthy tones, natural stone, and richly textured timber. These spacious, split-level suites are perfect for those who want to feel connected to the island's serene landscape.
For spectacular, uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea, the Ocean Suites are an ideal choice. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the rooms in natural light. The refreshed design features warm limestone flooring and rich mahogany accents, creating a modern sanctuary inspired by the coast.
Tucked away at the most secluded end of the beach, the adults-only Bay Suites offer an intimate retreat. Designed for couples, these suites feature a light-toned, ethereal design with bleached hardwoods and subtle brass accents. Guests here enjoy a personalised service from a dedicated Service Ambassador, in-suite check-in, and a private bar, ensuring a truly special stay. All suites feature contemporary bathrooms with marble tiling, freestanding bathtubs, and rainforest showers.
Elegant spaces for dining and relaxing
The resort's enhancements extend beyond the suites. The main pavilion and the popular Indigo on the Beach restaurant have been thoughtfully refurbished, creating an even more inviting atmosphere for meals with a view. The entire pool area has also been retiled, along with the poolside Italian restaurant, Ottimo!, giving these central spots a fresh and polished feel. These updates ensure that the shared spaces at Carlisle Bay match the elegance and comfort of the private suites.
More than just a beautiful beach
While it's easy to spend your days relaxing by the water, Carlisle Bay offers plenty to do. A wide array of complimentary non-motorised water sports is available, including sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. For those looking to explore further, you can charter the resort's private motor yacht. Back on land, you can perfect your serve on one of the tennis or pickleball courts, find your balance in a yoga session at the garden pavilion, or indulge in a treatment at the CARA Organic Beauty Spa. With four distinct restaurants, from the waterfront Jetty Grill to the pan-Asian flavours at EAST, every meal is an opportunity to try something new. Carlisle Bay combines sophisticated style with the easy-going charm of the Caribbean. With its newly updated suites and facilities, it remains one of Antigua’s most desirable destinations.
