Introducing Elite Island Resorts

26 September 2022

This collection of seven all-inclusive, mainly beachfront resorts in the Caribbean immerse you in the peerless beauty and charm of this enchanting region thanks to its one-of-a-kind adventures everywhere from the shimmering offshore reefs of the Grenadines to the party island of Barbados.

With tranquil spas, sparkling pools and inspired, locally infused five-star dining, Elite Island Resorts are a place to relax and indulge yourself, but there is also array of eco-adventures to get you out enjoying the great outdoors, ranging from hikes deep in the rainforest to kayaking over secret reefs teeming with colour, from zip-lining to island safaris.

Antigua

This is one of the Caribbean’s most popular all-inclusive destinations thanks to its white-sand beaches and rich history, and Elite Island Resorts has five of its fantastic properties on the island, each with something different to offer.

The iconic St James’s Club & Villas 4* plus on a secluded 100-acre peninsula on the southeast coast has a country-club, a vintage-Caribbean feel and a reputation for its top-notch service. Blessed with two white-sand beaches, it welcomes, families, friends and honeymooners with Hobie Cat sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkelling, scuba diving, thrilling tours and excursions, a gorgeous spa, tennis courts and a kids’ club.

Galley Bay Resort & Spa 4* plus was named one of the most romantic resorts in the Caribbean in TripAdvisor Readers’ Choice Awards. An island paradise reached via a tropical lagoon, it includes Tahitian-inspired cottages with private plunge pools, an Instagram-perfect treehouse spa, beachfront yoga pavilion and a waterfall swimming pool.

The Verandah Resort & Spa 4* was built to be eco-friendly from the ground-up but doesn’t stint on fun for all ages, with two white-sand beaches, Antigua’s largest freeform pool, an 18-hole mini-golf course, tennis, Hobie Cat sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling, plus a tropical spa and a kids’ club.

Pineapple Beach Club 4* is an exclusive adults-only tropical hideaway with classically laidback Caribbean hospitality and a sociable atmosphere. Attractions include more than a half-mile of white-sand beach, waterfront dining (don’t miss Outhouse Barbecue & Beer), water sports, tennis and beach volleyball.

Newest to the fold, Hammock Cove Antigua 5* is another adult-only resort – this once located just a few hundred yards from Devil’s Bridge National Park within a pristine protected bay.

Barbados

Fun-loving party island Barbados, one of the Caribbean’s best-loved destinations, is the place to find Elite Island Resorts' boutique-style, adult-only Club Barbados Resort & Spa 4*. The delightful accommodation here ranges from oceanfront and pool-view suites to romantic ocean lofts, and there’s a colourful Rum Bar.

The Grenadines

With its off-the-beaten-track private islands, this tiny chain includes the exclusive Palm Island Resort & Spa 4* plus with its shimmering white-sand beaches, beachfront spa and activities such as Hobie Cat sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling near sea turtles. There are nature trails to hike, the nearby Tobago Cays to explore, and the option of private beach picnics, among other indulgences.
