Hermitage Bay Luxury Adults Only Escape

Hermitage Bay Luxury Adults Only Escape

A Hidden Gem in Antigua: Inside the Tranquillity of Hermitage Bay

If you’re seeking barefoot luxury, soul-soothing views, and an utterly private escape in the Caribbean, Hermitage Bay in Antigua might just be the sanctuary you‘ve been dreaming of.

Tucked into a lush hillside and nestled along a pristine crescent-shaped bay, this 30-suite, adults-only, all-inclusive resort redefines quiet elegance. It’s not just a place you visit — it’s a place you feel. And for those with a discerning eye for design, service, and sustainability, Hermitage Bay delivers effortlessly.

✨ What makes Hermitage Bay so special?

It begins with the setting: imagine 140 acres of undeveloped tropical gardens and powder-soft sand, with just 30 suites dotted discreetly across the landscape. No crowds, no noise — just hummingbirds, gentle waves, and the occasional clink of ice in your glass.

The property is entirely adults-only (14+), making it a serene choice for couples, solo travellers, and honeymooners.

🛌 Which room should I choose?

There are three suite types at Hermitage Bay, each catering to a slightly different style of luxury:

Beachfront Suites (9): Just steps from the shore — perfect for beach lovers who want to wake up to the sound of waves.

Garden Suites with Private Pools (4): Surrounded by tropical blooms with the added privacy of a plunge pool.

Hillside Pool Suites (17): Tucked high above the bay, these offer unmatched views and total seclusion. For the best vistas, request Suites 38 or 39 on the top level, or 25-26 for easier access with spectacular views.

Each suite features dark wood floors, white linens, outdoor showers, and oversized verandas — designed for deep relaxation and connection to nature.

🍽 Do I need to book restaurants in advance?

No reservations are needed for the main dining areas. The beauty of Hermitage Bay is in its relaxed rhythm:

Main Restaurant: Open daily for breakfast and dinner, with rotating menus showcasing local organic produce.

Beachfront Restaurant: Casual lunch by the sea.

Evening Bar Snacks from 6:00 PM.

Sushi Bar: A delightful surprise! Held daily in two intimate sittings (4:30–5:30 PM & 5:30–6:30 PM, limited to 12 guests per seating — reserve early).

Private Beach Dinner: A must-do for romantics. A $254 per couple experience that feels utterly priceless under the stars.

Room service is also available from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with a tray charge of $15 plus tax per snack.

🧘‍♀️ Is wellness included?

Yes — and it‘s part of what makes the atmosphere so healing.

Daily yoga and Pilates sessions are complimentary:

Weekdays: 8 AM and 12 PM

Weekends: 9 AM

Whether you're a seasoned yogi or trying your first downward dog, the ocean-view pavilion sets the perfect tone for renewal.

🚙 How far is Hermitage Bay from the main attractions?

Though it feels a world away, Hermitage Bay is only 35 minutes by car from both St. John’s and the historic English Harbour. It’s easy to combine culture and cuisine with your beach retreat — should you ever want to leave.

🔑 Final Thoughts: Is Hermitage Bay worth it?

Absolutely — if you're looking for luxury that whispers rather than shouts.

This is the kind of place that stays with you long after you've left. Where every smile from the staff feels genuine, and every meal tastes like it was made just for you. It’s ideal for travellers who value peace, privacy, and presence.

So, is Hermitage Bay calling your name?
