DESTINATIONS ANTIGUA CARIBBEAN Antigua
The Inn at English Harbour This property does a splendid line in relaxed, timeless elegance. Two fake- grass tennis courts, kayaks, a small spa and a free boat service to Nelson’s Dockyard are among the facilities, but it’s more about atmosphere than ticking boxes. The 28 mahogany- floored suites come with massive balconies or patios, plus mosquito- netted, four-poster beds. The beach is effectively private, while the service is excellent. It’s a quiet option, ideal for couples. Caribtours offers seven nights’ half-board in a Beach Cabana from £1,795, including flights, private transfers and a UK airport lounge.

Galley Bay Resort & Spa Adult-only Galley Bay Resort & Spa has an engaging personality, illustrated by endearingly quirky little touches. It has its own lagoon, turtles nest on the beach, the Gauguin restaurant has tables under thatched huts, and an old sugar mill stands by the entrance.

Some guests will prefer the cheaper rooms – standalone, faux-African hut cottages with private plunge pools – to the higher-category rooms that boast sea views. Western & Oriental offers seven nights’ all-inclusive in a Gauguin Cottage from £1,795 including flights.

Curtain Bluff As the name suggests, Curtain
Bluff is built on a bluff, giving it two beaches. There’s no scrimping on the all-inclusive additions, with high-end spirits, snorkelling trips and motorised watersports thrown in. Also worth noting are the superb wine cellar, the spa with astonishing views and the three resident tennis professionals. Destinology has rooms from £494 per night all-inclusive.
