The Verandah, Antigua

The Verandah, Antigua is one of the largest luxury properties on the island, with plenty of peaceful nooks tucked away within its tropical grounds. Getting around is easy, thanks to in-resort buggies and shuttle buses. That said, if you fancy strolling in the sunshine you’ll find swimming pools, tennis courts and white-sand beaches all within walking distance. The adults-only resort has recently been treated to a bit of a makeover with renovated rooms and public areas. Guest suites feature furnished verandas and comfy living areas, while villas also include kitchens and dining rooms. It’s a chic retreat to rest and relax in, before getting ready to enjoy an all-inclusive evening of fine dining at Nicole’s Restaurant or sociable beach grills above Lover’s Beach. Elsewhere, the Rasta Bar and the Lazy Pelican Bar serve up some good vibrations during the day as well as a chilled-out soundtrack as the sun sets. If you fancy diving into water sports and land-based activities, you’ll find a complete programme to help you keep moving. Tennis courts, kayaks, SUP boards, a fitness centre and even a mini golf course with self-serve local beers are all included, and there’s a full-service spa if you’re tempted by the optional treatments, therapies, and open-air massage tables.
