CARIBBEAN ANTIGUA DESTINATIONS


LEFT: Jolly Beach Resort


RIGHT: Sugar mill at Galley Bay Resort


BELOW: Sugar Ridge


The hotel is on a tremendous beach and its second pool is bigger than the main pools at most hotels


restaurants, complimentary non- motorised watersports and a small cinema are among the plus points, while the relative isolation from anywhere else on the island and hefty in-room Wi-Fi charges are the key minuses. Rooms are sizeable and neutrally decorated. Kuoni has seven nights’ all-inclusive, including return flights, from £1,280. stjamesclubantigua.com


w SPLURGE Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa This Sandals property is the island’s big boy, covering 27 acres by the prime sands of Dickenson Bay. There are six pools and 11 restaurants, which include Caribbean, English gastropub, Japanese and US southwestern. There are also 25 room categories to navigate, split into those on the more chilled ‘Caribbean’ side of the property and the glossier, high-rise ‘Mediterranean’ section. The list of inclusions is impressive, and the grounds are meticulously maintained. This is the one for clients who want a long list of facilities rather than reserved minimalism. Virgin Holidays sells seven nights’ all- inclusive, with flights, from £1,874. sandals.co.uk
