Luxury bepoke holidays to Hermitage Bay, Antigua
Hermitage Bay in Antigua is a luxurious boutique resort of just 30 individual, cottage suites landscaped into the natural beauty of a bay and hillside of tropical gardens overlooking the white sand beach which is 1,500 feet long. The bay was discovered a few years ago by the current owners of the hotel in one of the most secluded corners of Antigua and the land had been in private ownership for over a hundred years. The cottages nestle into the hillside and also are landscaped along the beach facing the beautiful white sand. Hermitage Bay is managed by people who have worked in Antigua for many years and they have selected their staff carefully for their friendliness and efficiency. Service is discreet and attentive. Your days can be spent on the beach, partaking of some of the non-motorised water sports on offer (no motorised ones are available to maintain the peaceful environment), enjoying a spa treatment, either in the peaceful ambience of the spa itself or the privacy of your beachfront or hillside pool suite, or even lounging by the pool or in a private area of the gardens. Hermitage Bay's beachside restaurant, tiered at different levels to afford each table a spectacular view, serves a varied menu of both Caribbean favourites and modern European with the emphasis on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Lunch is also offered around the shaded patio and pool areas. There are three categories of suite: seaview garden suite, beachfront suite and hillside pool suite. The seaview garden suites are on the beach level, just behind and in between the beachfront suites. The beachfront suites are on the beach level just steps from the 1,500ft white sand beach. The hillside suites are located on the hillside and have a personal plunge pool and sunbathing deck. Hermitage Bay is a luxury, boutique hotel, popular with our clients who return on a regular basis.
Room descriptions

About Antigua
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Antigua is an indulgent getaway in a paradise setting. Antigua, the largest of the Leeward islands, has a cosiness and charm that welcomes the first-time visitor to the Caribbean and yet has an ease and sophistication that makes it attractive for those returning for rest and relaxation. The island is home to a great range of luxury hotels and resorts including Carlisle Bay, a boutique hotel located on a beautiful sandy beach which offers a great range of activities; and Hermitage Bay, an intimate and charming hideaway which is ideal for relaxation. Antigua is a low-lying island of yellowish green rolling hills that are gentle on the eye, but it is the spectacular coastline of long sweeping white sand beaches, inlets, bays and coves that is undeniably glorious. The island is surrounded by a sea of turquoise green and deep dark blue protected by coral reefs and on the eastern Atlantic edge cliffs and boulders form excellent perches for pelicans. The cosiness of Antigua is enhanced by the cheerful villages with names such as Liberta, Tyrells and All Saints with their numerous churches and colourful gardens surrounding the gaily-coloured houses, many painted vibrant greens, blues, yellows and pinks.
Highlights of Antigua
Cricket is the national sport of Antigua. Wadadli is the local beer. There are an exceptional number of places of interest to visit including museums, quaysides, old plantations. Some examples are Parham Harbour and St Peter’s Church, Betty’s Hope old sugar plantation and Harmony Hall, restored Great House with a craft centre. Falmouth, English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard is one of the most picturesque and beautiful harbour areas in the Caribbean. A few of the outstanding beaches on the island include Dickenson Bay, Soldiers Bay, Hawksbill Beach, Galleon Beach and Darkwood Beach. Carnival is at the end of July. Fig Tree drive between Old Road and Liberta is through the rainforest.
Travel around Antigua
The roads are fine except for a few potholes. Car hire is easily arranged and highly recommended. Traffic on a Saturday can be quite heavy in St John’s but you can find parking places. Distances are not too great so it really is easy to get around. Signposting is lacking, and an ordnance survey map is more accurate than tourist maps provided locally.
