Hawksbill

Set across an expansive stretch of Antigua’s west coast, Hawksbill Resort is an adults-only all-inclusive retreat defined by its unspoiled setting and four distinct beaches.

Spread over acres of tropical gardens and natural coastline, the property feels open and unstructured, with a quieter, more traditional Caribbean atmosphere shaped by its surroundings rather than overt design.

The layout follows the natural contours of the land, with low-rise buildings and bungalows positioned among greenery and along the shoreline. The architecture is simple and functional, with a focus on space, light, and ease of access to the beach, allowing the landscape and sea to remain the defining features throughout the resort.

Staying

The 111 rooms and bungalows are understated in style, with a focus on comfort and practicality rather than embellishment. Each includes a private patio or balcony with garden or sea views, alongside air conditioning, mini-fridges, and coffee facilities. The absence of televisions reinforces the slower pace, with interiors designed to complement the relaxed, unplugged setting.

Dining is centred around a selection of open-air venues, including Tamarind Tree, Sea Grape Bar & Grill, and Il Vigento Su Mare. Menus combine buffet and à la carte options, with a focus on local dishes and straightforward international fare, served in settings that range from beachfront to elevated positions overlooking the water.

Experience

The four beaches provide variety, from broader stretches of sand to more secluded coves, including Eden Beach. Activities include snorkelling, sailing, kayaking, and tennis, alongside a central infinity pool, while the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and unhurried throughout the day.

Wellness

Wellness is delivered through the Healing Hands Spa, offering a range of treatments including massages available in-room or by the beach, maintaining the resort’s informal and flexible approach to relaxation.

Where

Located approximately 10 minutes from St John’s and around 20 minutes from VC Bird International Airport, the resort is easily accessible while retaining a sense of distance from more developed areas.
