About
Some Caribbean escapes are made for switching off together, and Cocobay Resort Antigua is one of them. This intimate adults only all inclusive tumbles down a breezy hillside towards two white-sand beaches, with colourful Caribbean cottages, infinity pools and turquoise sea views setting the scene for a wonderfully romantic stay.
There's a deliberately laid-back feel to life here. The cottages embrace rustic Caribbean charm and leave televisions and screens behind, encouraging you to slow down, step outside and enjoy the surroundings instead. Choose a cottage tucked among the gardens or upgrade the experience with your own private pool and increasingly impressive views as you move towards the waterfront.
Days don't need much planning. Find a spot beside an infinity pool, wander down to the beach or make time for a couples' spa treatment. When you're feeling more active, watersports, fitness and other island experiences give you plenty of reasons to leave the sunlounger.
Dining keeps the intimate atmosphere going, with All Inclusive meals complemented by opportunities to make things more memorable. Private dinners for two and floating pool experiences can add a little extra occasion when you're celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary or simply want to spoil each other.
Romance isn't an afterthought at Cocobay – it's woven into the whole experience. From cottages made for two and dramatic Caribbean sunsets to proposals, weddings and honeymoon experiences, this is an Antigua escape designed around spending proper time together.
Best for: Couples and honeymooners looking for an intimate Adults Only All Inclusive with Caribbean character, beautiful views and plenty of opportunities to slow down together.
- Cottages made for couples – Choose from charming Caribbean hideaways through to waterfront suites with private pools and spectacular sea views.
- Two beaches, endless views – The hillside setting winds down towards two white-sand beaches, with turquoise Caribbean views appearing throughout the resort.
- Romance comes naturally – Adults-only surroundings, private dining, couples' wellness and dedicated honeymoon, anniversary, wedding and proposal experiences put time together at the heart of your stay.

Accommodation
Accommodation at Cocobay Resort

There's a lovely sense of privacy to the layout, and every category is designed for a maximum of two guests. Start with a garden hideaway or work your way towards increasingly impressive sea views, private plunge pools and prime waterfront locations.

Dining
Dining at Cocobay Resort
Dining at Cocobay reflects the resort itself: intimate, relaxed and centred around the Caribbean setting.
Rafters provides the main All Inclusive experience from breakfast through to dinner, while The Cliffside offers something more exclusive. You can also add private dining and other romantic food experiences when you want to turn a meal into an occasion.
Restaurants
Rafters Restaurant & Bar
Cocobay's main All Inclusive restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner à la carte in an intimate setting overlooking the sea. Expect a combination of international influences and authentic Caribbean flavours.
The adjoining bar and lounge keeps things relaxed with cocktails, wines, beer and spirits, while live entertainment usually adds some atmosphere in the evenings.
- Breakfast: 7:30am – 9:30am
- Lunch: 12:30pm – 2pm
- Dinner: 6:30pm – 8:30pm
The Cliffside
Perched dramatically along the rocky coastline between Valley Church Beach and Little Ffryes Beach, The Cliffside is as much about the setting as the food. Fresh island ingredients and Caribbean flavours are accompanied by handcrafted cocktails and fine wines, while the surrounding deck, cabanas and plunge pools make it particularly appealing for couples.
Restaurant access is by reservation. Starfish guests receive exclusive access benefits, while Silver Sand guests receive priority access to The Cliffside Restaurant and selected premium experiences. Charges and inclusions vary according to accommodation level.
- Restaurant & Bar: 11:30am – 3pm
- Reservations required
Sheer Rocks
Sheer Rocks occupies a spectacular cliffside setting within the Cocobay property, with tapas-style lunches, sunset dining, plunge pools and daybeds.
It's important to know that Sheer Rocks is independently owned and is not included in Cocobay Resort's All Inclusive package or published hotel rates. Reservations and payment are therefore separate from your Cocobay stay.
Bars, Cafés & Casual Dining
Sandy Ground Sunset Pool Beach Bar
Overlooking the infinity pool and Little Ffryes Beach, Sandy Ground is made for lazy daytime drinks with a view. Alongside the bar service, you can order grilled paninis and relax on the dining deck, daybeds or beach chairs.
- Open: 10am – 6pm
Cocoa Coffee Cafe & Gift Shop
Start the morning with a hot coffee or cool down later with an iced one at this relaxed café surrounded by tropical greenery and sea views. You'll also find daily eats, sweets and treats alongside a small shop selling conveniences, amenities and souvenirs.
- Open: 7am – 6pm
Private & Romantic Dining
Cocobay is particularly good at creating dining experiences designed for two.
Available extras include:
- Private romantic dinners
- Floating pool dining experiences
- Breakfast in bed
- In-room dining treats
- Champagne and chocolate-covered fruit
- Special occasion dining
- Other personalised food and drink experiences
These experiences are generally upgrades rather than part of the standard All Inclusive package, but they're well worth knowing about for honeymoons, anniversaries and birthdays.

Beaches
Cocobay's hillside setting leads down towards two beautiful stretches of white sand, putting the Caribbean Sea at the heart of the experience.
Little Ffryes Beach sits alongside the resort, while Valley Church Bay provides another beautiful coastal backdrop.

Evening Entertainment
Cocobay is much more about laid-back evenings than a full-on nightlife scene.

Spa & Wellness
Cocobay Wellness Deck & Spa
Cocobay's approach to wellness fits beautifully with the rest of the resort.
Treatments take place in an open-air, thatched Wellness Cottage overlooking the calm water of Valley Church Bay and Antigua's rolling landscape, replacing the feel of an enclosed spa with fresh air, sea views and the sounds of nature.
Treatments
The Wellness Team offers a menu of massage therapy and full-body treatments designed around relaxation and restoration. Options include traditional Swedish massage alongside Cocobay's own signature treatments, with the team able to put together a more personalised wellness plan.
Couples' Spa Experiences
For a resort built around romance, it's no surprise that couples are well catered for. Treatments can be booked together for a romantic spa date, making the Wellness Deck particularly tempting for honeymooners or anyone celebrating an anniversary.
- Wellness appointments: 9am – 3:45pm daily
Spa treatments are additional experiences rather than part of the standard All Inclusive package.
