Hotel information
Tucked into a quiet cove on Antigua’s unspoilt west coast, Hermitage Bay is an effortlessly elegant retreat designed for complete relaxation. This is a place where you leave the world behind - an intimate, boutique-style resort that feels both deeply personal and wonderfully remote. With just 30 villa suites scattered across 140 acres of tropical gardens and hillside, the atmosphere here is one of barefoot luxury and restorative calm.
Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, marking a milestone, or simply seeking solitude, you’ll find space and serenity in equal measure. Choose a Beachfront Suite just steps from the sand, a Garden Pool Suite set in lush foliage, or retreat to the Hillside Pool Suites for sweeping Caribbean Sea views from your private plunge pool and sun deck.
Dining is a highlight, with locally inspired, ingredient-led cuisine served across beautifully relaxed settings, from the toes-in-the-sand Beach Club to the resort’s refined open-air restaurant. The vibe is quietly luxurious: you’ll find no dress codes or formality here, just warm, intuitive service and a deep connection to the surrounding nature.
Days unfold at your own pace - take to the water for paddleboarding or snorkelling, join a farm tour or cooking class, or simply unwind with a treatment at the open-air Garden Spa. Sustainability is at the heart of the resort’s philosophy too, with eco-conscious design and meaningful community support woven into every aspect of your stay.
Peaceful, soulful and impeccably run, Hermitage Bay is the kind of place you’ll return to in your mind long after you’ve left - your own private haven where luxury feels effortless and time seems to slow.

The Restaurant - Evening
Come evening, the restaurant transforms into an ambient dining area with subtle lighting, candles and drapery. Dine on a menu of freshly-caught seafood, fine meat cuts and much more, as live bands play the steel drums, calypso and jazz.
Exclusive Dining Experience
If you’re celebrating a special occasion, why not book a special candle-lit dinner for you and your partner right at the water’s edge of the beach or on your own private terrace? Alternatively, visit the lounge to unwind with a juicy cocktail or cup of tea and canapes.
Tree Bar
