Galley Bay is the perfect all-inclusive retreat for the discerning traveler. It's secluded setting on the tranquil west coast of Antigua, enjoys forty-acres of tropical gardens between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a three-quarter mile beach.

Great care has been taken to ensure the resort complements these natural surroundings. 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.

All guests are welcomed at the historical sugar mill reception and whisked by golf cart to one of the 94 suites and cottages. More than three-quarters of the accommodations lie directly on the white sand beach; the remainder tucked away in the gardens and boasting their own private splash pools.

Gauguin Cottage or Superior Beachfront room included with certificate. Upgrade to Deluxe Beachfront or Premium Beachfront room is $40 per night extra per room.
