Surrounded by lemon, almond and sea grape trees, each suite features a patio, balcony or terrace, plus a minibar, bathrobes and slippers, Frette linens and luxury toiletries. Recent guests agree that the Seagrape Beach Suites are worth the splurge thanks to their whirlpool tubs with ocean views, private patios and gardens, chaise lounge chairs and double hammock sets. Just in case hammock-lounging didn’t fill your relaxation quota, the in-house Janissa’s Spa provides body polishes and massages. And encouraging guests to take advantage of its primo beachside location, Spice Island’s all-inclusive room rates cover snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, tennis, cycling and green fees at a local golf course.
4. Hermitage Bay
Hermitage Bay, a boutique, all-inclusive resort on Antigua’s secluded western shore, gives guests optimal sunset panoramas from private bungalow suites. All of the resort’s 30 accommodations face the ocean and are outfitted with outdoor showers, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access and hardwood floors. The organic fare served at the on-site restaurant received high marks from reviewers, but it’s the staff’s attention to detail that guests appreciate the most. Hermitage Bay caters specially to romantic vacationers, offering wedding and honeymoon packages, as well as a spa with the tantalizing Siddhartha Art of Love treatment, which includes aromatherapy services and exotic tea tastings. When visitors are not relaxing in their room or at the spa, they can get their hearts pumping while enjoying complimentary activities, such as scuba diving, windsurfing and kayaking.
