St. Jame's Club &Villas (in Antigua)

A lush tropical playground, St. James’s Club & Villas sits on a private 100-acre estate boasting breathtaking ocean views and two white sand beaches. All the delights of English Harbour, Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights are just a few minutes’ drive away.

A sociable club-like ambience prevails throughout, the visiting yachts contributing a dash of glamour. At its heart lie the guest rooms, restaurants and recreational opportunities of The Club, while The Village is an adjacent sanctuary of residential-style villas tumbling down a gentle hillside towards the bay.

By day there are two beaches, four swimming pools and a kid’s club, as well as a variety of on-site activities to keep all age groups entertained. After dark, there is a choice of four restaurants set either in the gardens, on the hillside or right down by the water’s edge; the cocktail bars and live music to take nightowls into the small hours.

TORTOLA
Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas

Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas epitomizes the tropical informality and natural beauty of the British Virgin Islands. Hidden away on a 52-acre estate in Tortola, this 157-room resort rises up the hillside from the island’s finest beach, a mile of talcum-powder sand caressed by the gentle surf of the Caribbean Sea.

Reflections of the island’s colonial history are evident throughout; the rambling main building suggestive of a plantation house, the beach restaurant set in an 18th-century sugar mill and many of the private villas evoking traditional island homes.

Yet leisure facilities fulfill all the requirements of a contemporary tropical resort and include a swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness room and scuba-diving facilities, as well as a Wellness Spa & Salon. Equally varied are the dining opportunities, the venues ranging from hillside, poolside or beachfront and the cuisine varying from informal grills and fresh seafood to Continental specialties and traditional Italian favorites.

A wide variety of accommodation styles also await here, all guest rooms boasting memorable views of the Caribbean Sea. Stay right down on the beach in a spacious room or quaint cabana. Or choose one of the hillside rooms or villas, all of which boast their own private balconies and some of which feature private Jacuzzis, full kitchen facilities and alfresco dining terraces. There are even a handful of private Estate Homes complete with private swimming pools and up to four bedrooms.

Winner of 2009 "Best Boutique Hotel - St. Vincent & The Grenadines" by World Travel Awards

At the World Travel Awards it was named ‘The World’s Leading Private Island’. Caribbean Travel & Life ranks it amongst the Caribbean’s ‘most romantic resorts’. Travel & Leisure says it is ‘one of the best places to stay in the world’. Palm Island Resort is a very special place.

It lies on its own 135-acre island in The Grenadines, that chain of exclusive little islands that runs between St. Vincent in the north and Grenada in the south. It is reached via a 45-minute flight from Barbados to neighbouring Union Island, followed by an 8-minute ride by private launch.

Great care has been taken to ensure the resort blends in with these untouched natural surroundings. The five white sand beaches are complemented by just 43 guest rooms that are dwarfed by the coconut palms and charmingly styled with their island-setting in mind. Activities are low-key and generally focused upon the sand and the sea, while dining is always a breeze-cooled beachfront affair, the delicious Euro-Caribbean cuisine taking full advantge of freshly-caught seafood and locally-grown vegetables.

Yet Palm Island is not just a resort. It’s a place where guests slow down, recharge their batteries and gradually rediscover the wonders of nature. Panoramic walking trails show off indigenous iguanas and interesting birdlife. Visiting yachts and traditional beach homes contribute a sense of authentic island life. And boat trips to the world-famous Tobago Cays ensure visitors leave with a great ‘sense of place’.
