Jumby Bay
Jumby Bay is under going a full refurbishment to ensure that it remains the most perfect luxury retreat on the planet. When its doors reopen there will be no better time to sample its magic. Idyllically situated off the coast of Antigua, this remarkable island paradise – accessible only by boat – has it all: lush vegetation, tropical flowers and swaying palms, perfectly complemented by first class accommodation and attentive service. The pace of life at Jumby Bay is restful and relaxed, with nothing to spoil the peace and tranquillity.
The dazzling white sands of the main beach are lined with traditional thatched bohios dotted in between palms strung with hammocks. The Beach Pavilion hosts a fitness centre, while water sports, deep-sea fishing and scuba-diving are all available nearby. The resort offers a choice of 40 rooms and suites plus 11 private villas and estate houses spread across a third of the island’s 300 acres, providing guests with comfort and seclusion. Accommodation reflects the island’s colonial style with teak furnishings and sumptuous four-poster beds featuring fine Italian linen. One and two bed suites are spacious with a private outdoor garden, while two and three bedroom Harbour Villas offer a plunge pool and a living room that opens onto a magnificent terrace. Plantation-style estate houses represent the height of luxury, offering extensive private facilities including guest cottages, tennis courts and private beaches. The resort’s historic 230-year-old Estate House is the venue for fine dining, offering the best of international cuisine.
