Set on one of the most glorious stretches of sand in Antigua, Galley Bay Resort & Spa is a slice of paradise, in paradise. It’s paradise-ception!
Every so often we need to find ourselves a holiday that pushes out the whole marina, let alone a humble boat.
We want an excellent location, luxurious accommodations, and the kind of all-inclusive programme that can anticipate our every need. Galley Bay Resort & Spa, Antigua, delivers on all accounts. Little wonder it’s one of the top TripAdvisor rated resorts on the island then!
Here’s everything you need to know about this exclusive Antiguan hideaway.
The art of the perfect resort
Perfecting perfection sounds perfectly perplexing, right?
But Galley Bay Resort & Spa are giving it a damn good go. But, then, a dreamy location on one of the country’s best beaches does help.
From it’s position out on the most westerly portion of the island it benefits from a Caribbean coastline and being just minutes from all the fun of St John’s.
However, the trick to delivering five-star experiences is knowing that you’re minutes from the action, while simultaneously knowing your resort is too good to leave.
So what are the reasons to stay in-resort? Let’s take a closer look at the rooms first.
Getting your head down
The key thing to finding the energy to head out and explore the best things to do in St John’s or some top excursions in Antigua, is knowing you’ve got somewhere comfortable to retire to afterwards.
The rooms and suites at Galley Bay are perfect for just that. Bringing together all the beauty of the Caribbean with modern touches of architecture. They’re designed to be soothing spaces for the soul.
But if architecture and exquisite creature comforts don’t get your motor running, then how about idyllic views? Each of the rooms and suites come with stunning beachfront views. So the majestic Caribbean Sea remains a constant on your Antiguan escape.
If you book a Gauguin Suite you’ll get the added bonus of being gently stirred every morning by those seaside vibes, as well as soothing bird song. The resort’s exotic bird sanctuary will provide the tropical acoustics.
Filling your belly
With three restaurants and four bars on-site, if you do finally make it out of your wonderful suite, you’ll have some delicious grub to meet you.
Sample classic cuisine in The Seagrape restaurant or challenge your tastebuds with a trip to The Gauguin where European and Caribbean dishes come together to create vibrant blend.
However, if you prefer to pair your evening meal with a romantic stroll on the beach then Ismay’s is for you. Serving delicious dishes to the backdrop of the tropical gardens. The team at Ismay’s have a keen focus on delivering delicious dishes from the finest local ingredients. Although, this may have to be a treat night as the restaurant’s not included on the all-inclusive.
Eating away
You may, or may not, know that Antigua is packed with incredible eating spots. Which is great news if you fancy getting out of the resort and into some local grub.
