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 ambiance 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 69 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.

Galley Bay`s commitment to peace and tranquility means that children under 16 years of age are only accepted during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
