Galley Bay Resort & Spa ANTIGUA, CARIBBEAN


Occupying one of the best beachfront locations in Antigua, Galley Bay Resort & Spa is an adults-only, all-inclusive oasis of calm and tranquillity nestled between warm Caribbean waters and an expansive interior lagoon — a protected haven for tropical bird life. It offers a luxurious blend of relaxing privacy, high-end amenities and unique activities that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. The low-level authentic Antiguan buildings have


been built to blend in with the landscape, reflecting the resort’s ethos of respecting the natural beauty of this vibrant island. With much of the accommodation offering


beachfront access, guests can step directly from their rooms onto the sand. The effortlessly elegant interiors of the 98 beautifully appointed accommodations offer laid-back luxe, most with glorious ocean or lagoon views, complete with private balconies or patios. Some have the added luxury of a private plunge pool, too. Deep, comfy king-size beds guarantee ultimate comfort. There’s a fantastic choice of three beachfront restaurants and different cuisines, offering


everything from formal to more laid-back options. For a chilled drink or two, guests can head to the Tee Pee Bar, and for a morning coffee there’s a coffee shop with interiors crafted from recycled wood. A farm-to-fork ethos ensures a consistent supply of fresh vegetables grown on a hydroponics farm on the premises. Plus, the chef also arranges on-site cookery demonstrations and tastings. Guests can cool off with a swim in the impressive


pool or plunge into the warm turquoise sea from the expansive white-sand beach, which stretches for almost a mile in front of the resort. Many different watersports can be enjoyed, from paddleboarding and sailing to diving and snorkelling, with a well- equipped gym and tennis court providing guests with even more fitness options. Focusing on wellness of mind and body, the


renowned resort spa is another highlight and offers an extensive choice of luxurious treatments in private, tranquil surroundings with fully trained therapists, while morning yoga sessions can further enhance a feeling of inner calm and sense of wellness.
