Beach
To better accommodate different groups of guests, the crescent beach is split into two halves: one that is family friendly, and the other half for adults and couples seeking more relaxation.
Carlisle Bay Antigua is a luxurious hotel designed in a modern plantation style that you enter via a unique jetty walkway lined with torches. The crescent-shaped beach is sectioned into an adults' area ideal for couples, and a family-friendly stretch hosting water sports and activities. Enjoy sundowners on the beach or daytime refreshments at any of four bars and lounges, and dine on fresh buffets, oceanfront seafood, à la carte Italian cuisine, and fine pan-Asian cuisine at one of the four restaurants. Bright, spacious and superbly-appointed suites are nestled within the tropical gardens and on the beach, and days can be spent at the Blue Spa enjoying treatments, practicing your swing at the extensive tennis facilities, or just relaxing on the sand and soaking up the cool tropical ambiance.
