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.
