Hermitage Bay

This was our first visit to Hermitage Bay, and it exceeded every expectation we had—and then some. From start to finish, everything felt effortless, personalized, and genuinely special. Airport Experience: The moment we landed, the resort’s priority security service made everything a breeze. We were out of the airport within minutes—no stress, no waiting—and into a luxurious vehicle straight to the resort. It set the tone for the entire trip. Check-In: Check-in was incredibly smooth. We simply signed a document and headed to lunch while our room was being prepared. Because I was celebrating my birthday, the team surprised us with an upgrade to a Hillside Ocean View Pool Villa—one of the best rooms on the property. The view, the privacy, and the pool… absolutely stunning. I couldn’t be more grateful. Food: Every meal—from breakfast to lunch to dinner—was delicious and beautifully presented. We loved learning that so much of the ingredients are grown right on the property. Some highlights for us were the sea bass, the burger, and the cheesecake (truly unforgettable). Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Activities: All non-motorized sports and activities were included, which was a huge plus. The staff handling the activities were incredibly patient, friendly, and accommodating. Hotel Staff: This is where Hermitage Bay shines the brightest. Every staff member we met was warm, genuine, and happy to connect. Many have been with the property for years, and it really shows in how they treat guests. A special thank-you to Kyle, Martine, Simone, Anthony, Koshane, and Solange—each of them went above and beyond and made our stay unforgettable. Overall: Hermitage Bay is an incredible resort that delivers luxury, peace, and heartfelt service in every detail. We truly loved our time here and would love to return next year—this time for a longer stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate, and beautifully run Caribbean escape.

I recently got the opportunity to take my first solo trip to Antigua! The best decision I made was to splurge and book at the Hermitage Bay. From the property to the staff, everything was a dream vacation. The grounds were tropical and lush with beautiful scenic views from all sides. I was in a Hillside Villa (highly recommend getting Suite 35!) had views of the mountains and the bay every morning. The room was lovely with island decor an outdoor shower and deep tub (I appreciated it as a tall woman :). The staff were so warm and welcoming and made the trip truly memorable, they were accommodating and helpful with suggestions and anything needed on property. The food was great and had many options with a rotating menu throughout the week. Though I mostly lounged on the beach during the trip I got to do the Eco Boat Trip which took me to several of the outer islands (Antigua Adventures had a great crew who were entertaining as well as informative). Highly recommend this resort to all types of travelers! Heads up, as much as the staff try to prevent bugs and insects, be prepared to get bit regardless - that's the price of a jungle paradise.

Every moment at Hermitage Bay was incredible! From start to finish, staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Thanks to the entire team for looking after us so well. We’ll definitely be back ♥️🫶🏼

It has been one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to! An experience to repeat every year, the staff are lovely and the space is unique. Highly recommended! And the omakase dinner experience was amazing

I stayed at Hermitage Bay for a week, and honestly, it was pure magic. The kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. Everything is so thoughtfully done. The staff is unbelievably kind, and they somehow remember your breakfast preferences after one day. Waking up to ginger shots and protein drinks became my favorite little ritual. The beach is stunning, the water looks unreal and the live music in the evenings feels straight out of a movie. Don't get me started about my suite with the most magical views and the outdoor shower of my dreams... If you want a place that feels like nature, luxury and calm all rolled together, Hermitage bay is it. I already miss it and I will most definetly return!
