Escape to Blue Waters for the perfect family holiday

26 September 2025

Bringing the whole family together on one holiday often feels tricky. You want the comfort of home, the luxury of a resort, and enough flexibility so that everyone, from toddlers to teens to great-grandparents feels looked after. Blue Waters in Antigua has become a favourite for larger family groups because it blends all of that seamlessly, with villas and suites designed to bring people together while still giving each guest their own space.

Escape to Blue Waters for the perfect family holiday

Space that feels like home

One of the biggest attractions is the accommodation. The resort’s villas, such as Pelican House or the Cove Suites, are more than just places to sleep, they’re homes where families can spread out without losing the joy of being under one roof. With shared living areas and kitchens, mornings often start with coffee around the table, before everyone heads off for a day of fun or relaxation. At the same time, the private bedrooms, terraces, and even plunge pools allow for those much-needed quiet moments. It’s the best of both privacy and togetherness.

Something for every generation

Days at Blue Waters have a tempo that suits all ages. Younger children can build sandcastles on calm beaches or splash in family-friendly pools, while teenagers often gravitate towards snorkelling or paddleboarding. Grandparents can enjoy gentle strolls through the resort’s gardens or simply settle into a shaded lounger with a view of the sea. For those who want a little indulgence, the spa provides a sanctuary, while others might prefer to spend their afternoons exploring the coast of Antigua or enjoying a long lunch back at the resort.

Food that brings everyone together

Meals are another highlight at Blue Waters. With several restaurants offering different moods and menus, the whole group can gather for a casual lunch by the water, then come together again in the evening for something more refined. For large families, food often becomes the heart of the holiday, and Blue Waters makes it easy to create those special shared moments, whether that’s a celebratory dinner for a milestone birthday or a laid-back breakfast that stretches long into the morning.

Support that makes travel easy

Travelling with multiple generations often means balancing convenience with comfort, and this is where the resort’s thoughtful service really shines. Staff are on hand to make things easier, whether that’s arranging babysitting so parents can enjoy a night out, helping older guests with mobility needs, or simply making sure the drinks keep flowing while everyone relaxes. For families, this kind of support allows the focus to stay on enjoying time together rather than stressing about logistics.
