Hermitage Bay
OVERVIEW
Nestled discreetly between the hills and a serene bay, Hermitage Bay is a natural paradise that promises an unforgettable stay in Antigua. Breathtaking isn’t a word we like to use lightly, but looking out on the shimmering turquoise water and white sands, you’ll truly feel like you’ve been transported to your very own paradise haven.
It’s very well named – located down a blissfully remote dirt track on the cusp of a hidden bay, there are no dangers of technological distractions: one fantastic restaurant, lots of watersports, soothing yoga and sweet seclusion. The beach is beautiful and the smattering of wooden cottages blends into the lush hilly surroundings.
Set among verdant gardens, the cottages are staggered down the hillside, all with their own day beds to languish the days away on. For amazing views of the bay all you need to do is open your shutters.
