Overview

The all-inclusive Galley Bay Resort & Spa by Elite is an intimate hideaway for adults only on Antigua’s west coast. It’s tucked away within tropical gardens, along a spectacular beach, with a choice of spacious rooms and suites, a tranquil spa, three a la carte restaurants plus a beachfront grill and a lagoon-style swimming pool. You’ll also find a fitness centre, beachfront yoga pavilion and tennis court, plus plenty of water sports on offer.

The property stretches across 40 acres, complete with a bird sanctuary and saltwater lagoon. Tropical gardens stretch down to Galley Beach, which is three-quarters of a mile long. Fort Barrington is just over two miles away, known for its 18th-century hilltop fort and outstanding bay views. St John's, the island’s capital, is less than six miles from the hotel, and V.C. Bird International Airport is around nine miles away.

The 98 charming rooms and suites are decorated in a modern Caribbean style with white walls, natural woods, luxurious linens and beach-themed artwork. Deluxe Beachfront Rooms are situated on the second floor, opening onto a private balcony with spectacular Caribbean Sea views. You can upgrade to a Superior Deluxe Beachfront Room with direct beach access or choose a Premium Beachfront Suite for additional space. Gauguin Suites are set in charming cottages and feature a separate sitting area, kitchenette, spacious bathroom and private garden with an outdoor shower and plunge pool with lagoon views.

The Indulgence Spa is set in tranquil gardens overlooking the lagoon. You can book a soothing facial, a deep tissue massage or a nourishing body treatment in an open-air treatment cabana, and refresh in the spa pool and surrounding deck, either before or after your treatment.

The hotel hosts a variety of activities, from cooking classes to beachside movies. Sports enthusiasts can play tennis, beach volleyball and croquet, or hire complimentary bikes to explore the resort.

Dining information

Three oceanfront restaurants specialise in Caribbean and international specialties, while the Barefoot Grill serves lighter fare on the beach, including burgers, hot dogs, chicken, quesadillas, fresh fish, tofu patties and salads. Sea Grape is the main restaurant that opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an a la carte menu that incorporates fresh, local ingredients. It’s here that you can also enjoy weekly Caribbean barbecues with a live steel-drum band. Otherwise, you can head to Gauguin Restaurant for a candlelit dinner in a private beach cabana or experience elegant beachfront dining at Ismay’s.

During the day, stop by Coffee Shop for delectable pastries, cakes, fresh-brewed coffee, juice or tea. You can also order drinks at the four open-air lounges and bars, including signature cocktails from Rum Shack.
