Luxury Holidays At Galley Bay Resort & Spa

Enjoying a secluded setting between forty acres of lush gardens and one of the most beautiful beaches on Antigua, the adults-only Galley Bay is a true tropical haven.

The traditional rustic walkway has been replaced with sleek grey tiles, while the netural tones and classic blue and white colour scheme continue throughout the rooms and suites, boasting all-new soft furnishings.

Hotel Experiences

The resort's focus on wellness expands beyond just the incredible spa and yoga offerings. floatfit® is a unique workout concept during which you float on a mat in the pool, completing a challenging, HIIT fitness class. Working out the mind, a bespoke colouring book has been created for the resort by illustrator Adam Stower and psychotherapist Dr. Nichole Gehl. Linked to reducing stress and anxiety, the wonderful 'Ink and Drink' sunset sessions are a great chance to unwind with colouring and a cocktail. The books are subject to availability. Ensuring that the 'farm-to-table' food served at Galley Bay is completely organic, the resort houses its very own herb and vegetable garden. Tours of this lovely space are held weekly.

Climate

With an appealing temperature year round and a gentle breeze from the northeast trade winds keeping humidity low, Antigua makes a perfect year round destination. Boasting the most sunshine of all the Eastern Caribbean Islands, temperatures range from the mid seventies in winter to the mid eighties in the summer months.

Hurricanes
There is a ‘hurricane season’ in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Central Mexico and South Eastern seaboard of America between June and November, the months of August and September being particularly susceptible.

Getting There

Flight Information
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic direct from London Gatwick. Private charter flights available on request.

Flight Time
From London Gatwick to Antigua: 8 hours, 40 minutes.

NB:Please note that duty free purchases in Antigua cannot be obtained without your passports and itineraries/tickets.

Shirley Heights

A restored military lookout and gun battery, Shirley Heights Lookout boasts a spectacular panoramic view across English and Falmouth Harbours, considered one of the best views in Antigua. This idyllic spot becomes even more incredible at sunset — simply admire the twinkling lights of the harbour in your own serene spot or on Sundays, join the party and enjoy a barbecue, as well as local bands playing a mixture of Caribbean and international hits, whilst overlooking one of the world’s most awe-inspiring views.

Shirley Heights
Stingray City

Make a splash at Stingray City — swim amongst magnificent coral reefs and colourful tropical fish as you encounter a host of incredibly friendly and gentle Southern Stingray in their natural habitat. This excursion offers the unique opportunity to touch and feed stingrays, as well as learn about these amazing and captivating animals from your friendly and knowledgeable guides. At the end of the day, return to base for refreshing rum or fruit punch whilst reminiscing on your day of unforgettable adventure.

Stingray City
Sailing and Watersports

Sunny Antigua has become almost synonymous with sailing, boasting a coastline characterized by deeply indented bays and coves that catch the sea breeze. If you’re visiting during the world-renowned Antigua Sailing Week at the end of April, prepare to be awed as impressive gleaming ocean-going yachts gather at English Harbour for a series of challenging races, while back at the dock, a fabulous array of parties, events and ceremonies create an infectious carnival atmosphere. Sailing doesn’t come to a halt when the festivities end though - private yacht charters can be arranged from most of the top hotels on the island, offering exclusive luxury cruises out on the crystal-clear Caribbean waters.

Sailing and Watersports
Sport

Whilst the glorious Caribbean Sea means that a lot of Antigua’s main attractions are water-based, there is still plenty to do back on land. Golfers are very well catered for, with a number of world-class and stunningly scenic courses to choose from. While sailing is on the mind of many who visit Antigua, the country’s national sport is actually cricket, and there is an intense devotion to the game across the island. An echo of British heritage, some of the world’s greatest cricket players hail from Antigua. Big, international matches take place here from January through to July, though you can find local games held throughout the year.

Sport
English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard

First inhabited by Amerindians, it is the following period of colonial British rule that has left the biggest stamp on the culture of Antigua. While today it is a delightful mix of African Caribbean and European influences that make up the eclectic personality of the island, the remains of the 18th Century occupation, led by Horatio Nelson, stand as some of the best-preserved example of colonial architecture in the Caribbean. A must-see for any history enthusiast, English Harbour is where you will find Nelson’s Dockyard, once the home base of Britain’s Leeward Islands naval fleet, and now the world’s only Georgian era dockyard still in use.

English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard
Beaches

The saying “life is a beach” is truly the local’s favourite line in Antigua. With a boundless 365 powder-soft white-sand beaches (one for every day of the year, if you please!), you can expect to find the perfect beach for every activity. Admire the peacefully nesting Sea Turtles at Galley Bay, gaze at the distant sight of Monserrat from Fryers Beach or simply kick back and relax on the mile-long sands of Jolly Beach. Delightful and diverse, Antigua’s beach life will never leave you feeling disappointed.
