A member of Leading Small Hotels of the World, Carlisle Bay has firmly established itself as the place to stay on Antigua.

The hotel offers 87 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 and oversize day beds available on every balcony or terrace.
