galley bay

Welcome to Galley Bay…Antigua’s most exclusive adults only hideaway and the perfect all-inclusive retreat for the discerning traveler.  Great care has been taken to ensure the resort complements its natural surroundings, where thatch, bamboo and terracotta establish an ambience of refined rusticity in the public areas, while a picturesque wooden deck ensures maximum exposure to the ocean views. There is little disruption from the outside world as access to the resort is via a wooden bridge crossing the bird sanctuary.  And in keeping with Galley Bay’s commitment to peace and tranquility, children under 16 years of age are only accepted during the Christmas & New Year holidays.

Located just 15-minutes from the V.C. Bird International Airport, Galley Bay’s secluded setting on the tranquil and under-developed west coast of Antigua enjoys 40-acres of lush, tropical gardens nestled between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a three-quarter mile beach.  All guests are welcomed at the historical sugar mill reception and whisked by golf cart to one of the 98 rooms, suites and cottages discreetly tucked away amidst the palms and boasting their own private splash pools, or directly on the beach complete with breathtaking ocean views from their private terraces.  Those seeking something a little more unique can stay in one of the Gauguin cottages that lie on the edge of the lagoon, reflecting the artist’s lifestyle in Tahiti, with privacy that represents a departure from many of the constraints of civilization.  Simply put, nothing should intrude upon the serenity of the setting and Galley Bay is committed to your tranquility.
