5-Star Hotels in Saint John, Antigua and Barbuda

Hugging the gentle curves of the azure Antigua coastline- Hermitage Bay is the definitive all inclusive boutique retreat. Suites emerge from the hillside- with light filled interiors and private plunge pools opening onto panoramic views across endless sea and sky. Meanwhile- Beachfront and Garden suites give way to golden sands that appear to ebb and flow with the gentle tides. From the lush landscape that cocoons its walls to locally inspired dining experiences- this is a hotel with a true Caribbean soul. Stretch out poolside under the dappled shade of the white parasols- or reinvigorate mind and body in the spa- with complimentary meditation- yoga and Pilates classes every morning. As the sun begins its slow descent- cocktails and canapes set the tone for an effortlessly elegant evening. Dine under the stars in the beachfront restaurant- where produce is locally sourced and hand picked from the kitchen garden. Before the steel drum and calypso bands strike an authentic note late into the night. And when morning breaks bright and clear once again- bespoke experiences unfold across the resort- and beyond. From scuba diving and culinary masterclasses to rainbow coloured towns and zipline tours through the treetops- the island invites discovery. Hermitage Bay is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
