Carlisle Bay

Carlisle Bay is a contemporary and luxurious hotel situated in a quiet cove on the unspoilt south coast of Antigua.

A member of Leading Small Hotels of the World, Carlisle Bay opened at the end of 2003 and is rapidly becoming the place to stay on Antigua. It is located on the unspoilt south coast in a quiet cove on a stunning stretch of white sand, with a backdrop of rolling hills and lush tropical rainforest. The hotel offers 82 luxuriously appointed suites with cool calm interiors and fantastic ocean views from your own private terrace or balcony. The rooms have been interior designed by Mary Fox Linton and combine stylish minimalism with comfort – nothing has been forgotten here, right down to the Gaggia coffee machines provided in each room. Guests can enjoy a variety of water sports including sailing, snorkelling and scuba diving (no jet skis!) Other facilities include two outstanding restaurants, three bars, the exceptional Blue Spa, a fitness centre, library, nine tennis courts, yoga classes and a luxurious private screening room.
