• Nearest Town: If you fancy a wander, the little village of Old Road is just 3 km away. It’s perfect for a taste of local life or a chat with friendly Antiguan locals.

• Nearest Beach: You’re already on it! Carlisle Bay’s private stretch of sand is a stunner—no fighting for a sun lounger here.

• Nearest Airport: V.C. Bird International is 20.6 km away—just enough time for the kids to ask, “Are we there yet?” once or twice.

Rooms

Whether you’re all about romance, bringing the whole gang, or flying solo, Carlisle Bay’s suites are designed to wow.

• Couples’ Retreat: The Ocean Suites are all about intimacy, with separate living areas and private balconies or terraces overlooking the beach. Perfect for lazy mornings, cheeky sundowners, or just soaking up the views.

Sports & Entertainment

Lounging on the beach is great, but if you fancy a bit of action, Carlisle Bay’s got you covered.

• Water Sports: Paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and sailing are included—so there’s no excuse not to get your toes wet. Feeling adventurous? Book a scuba diving excursion and explore Antigua’s underwater world.

• Blue Spa: Fancy a massage or a facial? The spa uses all-natural products, so you can feel good about being pampered. It’s the ultimate chill zone after a hard day of, well, chilling.

• Evening Entertainment: As the sun sets, the fun doesn’t stop. Enjoy live music, themed nights, or a private movie screening in the resort’s cinema. And don’t miss the weekly beach BBQs—grilled seafood under the stars is a proper vibe.

Things to Do Nearby

If you can tear yourself away from the resort (not an easy feat), Antigua’s packed with adventures.

• Shirley Heights: A short drive away, this lookout offers views that’ll knock your socks off (if you’re wearing any). On Sundays, stick around for the famous sunset party with live music and plenty of rum punch.

• Fig Tree Drive: A scenic route through the rainforest with roadside fruit stands and the odd waterfall for a cheeky dip. Perfect for nature lovers.

• Stingray City: Swim with friendly stingrays in their natural habitat. It’s a bit surreal, but definitely a story for the group chat.
