Located in an enviable position fringing a pristine private beach overlooked by the historic Fort Barrington, Royalton Antigua, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino, offers discerning travellers a seamless holiday experience, with fine dining at oceanfront restaurants, stylish architecture, and the island’s only overwater bungalows.
It’s one of the very few resorts outside of the Maldives that offers over water villas with private pools too. The adults-only Chairman’s Overwater Bungalows offer the ultimate in tropical luxury, with a world-class butler service, infinity plunge pools and overwater hammocks to bask in picture-perfect sunsets, and in-room extras such as romantic dinners and a private mixology service. Elsewhere, elegantly styled suites open out to stunning views of the bay, complete with signature DreamBed ™ mattresses, rain showers and some even with semi-private swim-out pools.
A wide range of restaurants serve the likes of local Caribbean classics, Italian comfort food, and steakhouse fare, with a reservation-free dining concept. Foodies can also savour a seven-course C/X Culinary Experience with a private chef, with each dish enhanced by musical selections.
Families will love the on-site splash park, non-motorised water sports such as kayaking, snorkelling, and introductory scuba diving lessons, daily and nightly entertainment, and dedicated clubs for both kids and teens. Guests also can bliss out at The Royal Spa or keep fit with the likes of yoga, Zumba, and high-octane boot camp classes.
Couples seeking to rekindle the romance can stroll the pristine beach, cosy up under a palapa for two, or savour a candlelit beach dinner. And for those dreaming of exchanging vows on white-sand shores under an elegant beach gazebo, Royalton Antigua’s dedicated wedding planners can make it happen.
Elevate the experience further with an upgrade to Diamond Club™, which includes a private butler service, an exclusive pool and beach area, preferential restaurant reservations and drinks selections, and the best rooms on property.
We were lucky to visit the resort and enjoyed a wonderful day experiencing one of their super pool-side private cabanas. These are located in the exclusive Diamond Club™ area and featured their own plunge pool and lovely views down to the gorgeous golden sand beach below with crystal clear water perfect for snorkelling and swimming.
The resort’s hospitality was second to none and every effort was made to make us feel welcome. We’d love to return for longer next time!
