Galley Bay…Antigua’s most exclusive adults only hideaway, the perfect all-inclusive retreat for the discerning traveler. Its secluded setting on the tranquil west coast of Antigua enjoys forty-acres of lush, tropical gardens between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a three-quarter mile beach on the under-developed west coast of Antigua.
Great care has been taken to ensure the resort complements these natural surroundings. Thatch, bamboo and terracotta establish an ambience of refined rusticity in the public areas, while a picturesque wooden deck ensures maximum exposure to the ocean views. There is little disruption from the outside world as access to the resort is via a wooden bridge crossing the bird sanctuary.
All guests are welcomed at the historical sugar mill reception and whisked by golf cart to one of the 98 rooms, suites and cottages discreetly tucked away amidst the palms and boasting their own private splash pools, or directly on the beach boasting breathtaking ocean views from their private terraces. Those seeking something a little more unique can stay in one of the Gauguin cottages that lie on the edge of the lagoon, their two thatched-roof rondavels containing a bedroom and separate bathroom. Nothing should intrude upon the serenity of the setting.
