About this hotel
- Secluded location on a magnificent beach.
- Luxurious all-suite accommodation.
- Two of Antigua’s most outstanding restaurants.
- Blue Spa, yoga pavilion and lots of tennis!
The lush countryside, the colour, the warm disposition of the people – these might be what distinguish Antigua from other Caribbean islands, but for Gordon Campbell Gray, the decision to invest in Antigua was swayed by the special beauty of Carlisle Bay. This natural harbour in the most remote corner of the island, defined by a fine crescent of sand, is straight out of an ideal Caribbean press release. Its emerald green waters are surrounded by forested mountains and plenty of swaying palms, with a small village nearby that consists entirely of brightly painted wooden clapboard houses. There's even the perfect Caribbean church on the headland. Best of all, there are not, nor ever will be, any other hotels to share it with. Campbell Gray's Carlisle Bay is the only hotel in this idyllic location and, having negotiated title to the entire beach, he intends to keep it that way.
Creating a buzz when this all-suite hotel opened, it remains one of the Caribbean’s premier addresses. With the proprietor's assured taste (One Aldwych is a sister property), Carlisle Bay has been groomed as a Caribbean option for discerning adults. There are two of Antigua’s most outstanding restaurants, East and Indigo on the Beach plus a poolside Italian with pizza oven and gelato, the Blue Spa with yoga pavilion, tennis courts with Champagne mixers, a luxury film screening room and various water sports to explore the bay. But it’s the magnificent attention to detail that further sets Carlisle Bay apart. From the orchid pool with flaming torches that defines the entrance, to the bleached grey timber, to the abundance of orchids, to the custom-made furniture and the swimming pool tiles bought in from Bali – no detail large or small has escaped Gordon's magnificent obsession.
