Sat on the west coast of Antigua with access to three quarters of a miles worth of pristine sandy beach, the Galley Bay Resort is the place to let all your cares and worries drift away on the warm winds of the Caribbean. This is an all inclusive resort and strictly adult only, leaving the staff to take care of all your needs so you are free to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings.
40 acres of spectacularly lush gardens means you have a great place to experience the paradise that is Antigua. Fantastic facilities and the rooms just metres from the beach mean you can roll out of bed and straight onto the beach for that morning swim or sunbathe.
There is a wealth of water-based adventures on your doorstep, with diving and snorkelling on offer so you can explore the secrets of the deep amongst the reefs and shipwrecks. There are free lessons and equipment loans for non-motorised water sports, or if you want to stay dry there are tennis courts, rental bicycles and a fully-equipped gym as well.
If you want to take care of yourself there are a multitude of spa packages to choose from, with outdoor treatments as well so you can feel pampered while enjoying the panoramic views out over the lagoon.
With the stunning views and fabulous amenities, it’s not hard to see why Galley Bay has been named one of the ‘top 100 resorts in the world’.

The spacious, multi-level hideaway features three massage areas, two of which are rustic, open-air treatment “pods”. The pods are rough-hewn, airy massage decks draped with sheer, white curtains for privacy, and both overlook the bird sanctuary and lagoon.
