Carlisle Bay

Saint Mary's, Antigua

Set within a secluded horseshoe bay on Antigua’s unspoiled southwest coast, Carlisle Bay is a refined beachfront retreat where contemporary Caribbean design meets the raw beauty of rainforest and sea.

Framed by lush hills and a sweeping arc of white sand, the resort delivers a sense of space, calm and understated luxury that feels both exclusive and deeply connected to nature. Designed with clean architectural lines and a light, open aesthetic, the resort blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Wide terraces, natural materials and a soft, neutral palette create an atmosphere that is effortlessly elegant, allowing the vivid blues of the Caribbean and the rich greens of the rainforest to take centre stage.

Staying

Comprising 87 spacious suites, accommodation is entirely beachfront, offering direct access to the sand and uninterrupted sea views. Options such as the Ocean Suite and Beach Terrace Two-Bedroom Suite provide expansive living space and private outdoor areas, while interiors reflect a calm, contemporary style with a focus on comfort, light and simplicity.

Dining

Dining spans four distinctive restaurants, each offering its own character and cuisine. Indigo presents relaxed all-day dining with Mediterranean influences, East delivers bold Asian flavours, Ottimo focuses on Italian classics, and The Jetty offers a more refined beachfront setting centred around fresh seafood. Together, they create a varied and high-quality culinary experience throughout the stay.

Playing

Life at Carlisle Bay moves at a gentle pace, with days spent between the private beach, outdoor pool and a wide range of included activities. Watersports, sailing, tennis and guided excursions offer a more active side, while the surrounding rainforest provides opportunities for hiking and exploration.

Pampering

The CARA Organic Spa offers a holistic wellness experience, complemented by yoga, fitness programmes and personal training. With its tranquil setting and carefully curated treatments, it provides a natural extension of the resort’s focus on relaxation and balance.
