Overview
Intimate eco-luxury on a secluded bay
Hermitage Bay is an intimate thirty-suite eco-luxury all-inclusive on a secluded west-coast bay, sixteen acres of hillside gardens reached down a long private approach to a white-sand beach. The individual villa suites climb the slope, most with private plunge pools, all with sea views and outdoor showers, reached by golf cart, and the mood is romance-led and free of formality — no dress code, no kids' club. The all-inclusive is built on organic, farm-to-table dining and limitless drinks, with a Green Globe certification underpinning a genuine sustainability story, from the on-site farm to the energy and water systems. The open-air Garden Spa works with Aromatherapy Associates, with yoga, Pilates and meditation, and the days run to farm tours, cooking classes and lobster at the beachfront Beach Club. Around 40 minutes from the airport, it is Antigua's intimate romance-and-eco standout.
