On Antigua’s west coast, Hermitage Bay curves around a secluded beach backed by forested hills and tropical gardens. Beachfront and hillside suites use dark timber, neutral fabrics and broad verandas, with private plunge pools in the elevated categories. The main pool sits close to the sand, while the spa, restaurant and bar remain open to the sea breeze and surrounding vegetation. Low buildings are dispersed along the shoreline and hillside rather than gathered into a single complex, preserving uninterrupted views across the bay and the dense green slopes behind it.
