Hermitage Bay
Jennings, Antigua and Barbuda
Hermitage Bay occupies a sheltered coastal setting near Jennings in Antigua, with accommodation spread between the beach, tropical gardens and a wooded hillside. Its low rise suites and villas use generous outdoor decks to make the landscape part of the stay. Beachfront rooms place the sound of the sea close at hand, while hillside pool villas offer greater elevation and a more private outlook. Interiors include air conditioned sleeping areas, freestanding baths and outdoor showers. Selected categories have private pools, and furnished terraces provide space for reading, sunbathing or a meal outdoors. The arrangement suits travellers who want the services of a small resort while retaining somewhere quiet to withdraw. Room location is an important choice, particularly when deciding between easy beach access and the hillside setting. Dining combines Antiguan flavours and international dishes, with produce from the garden and seafood featuring in the kitchens. A beach club adds another informal setting, while live music brings a social rhythm to the evenings. The Garden Spa, yoga pavilion and fitness facilities provide further ways to spend the day. Hermitage Bay follows a seasonal calendar, so opening dates should be checked when planning a stay around its quieter coastal atmosphere.
