Across 35 acres of manicured gardens, you’ll find a Balinese-inspired spa with open-air treatment rooms, a Tom Weiskopf–designed golf course, tennis courts, and preppy-chic rooms and suites complete with dark wood floors, striped rugs, ocean views, and private butlers to cater that your every need. more
Two miles by boat from mainland Antigua sits stunning Jumby Bay, a 300-acre island originally discovered by Christopher Columbus that's now one of the Caribbean's most exclusive all-inclusive stays.

Can't decide which of the four restaurants—posh Estate House, campy Beach Shack, airy Verandah, or laid-back Pool Grille—to dine at first? We feel you. Just be sure to save your appetite (and your best frock) for their weekly White Night BBQ. more
