1. The Verandah Resort & Spa

I was lucky enough to call The Verandah Resort in Antigua my home for an entire week.

My villa was my haven and I really couldn’t ask for anything more. I had an ocean view, a kitchenette, a comfortable bed, a large shower, and even a desk (as if I used it for more than just a surface for my water bottle).

My room happened to be around their pool, so I could jump in with literally just a few steps out of my front door. The resort is massive and has two beach locations along with two beach bars and grills. There are two pools, one being adult-only, a huge buffet, and a couple of restaurants all on site.

The best part was the ocean hammocks (I’m a simple person) and access to their fun toys like their SUP boards, mini catamarans, and kayaks which you can take out, free of change.

I could not have had a better experience, and it’s no surprise this is a favorite all-inclusive adults-only resort in Antigua.

Highlights:

  • Spacious villas
  • Adults-only (WOO!)
  • Ocean hammocks + free water toy rentals
  • Access to sister resort – Pineapple Beach Club

2. Pineapple Beach Club

This adults-only all-inclusive resort in Antigua was my neighbor, and we spent a good amount of time popping into Pineapple Beach Club for some drinks and dinner, to hang out, and enjoy the live music.

Considering this resort is sister to the Verandah, you have access to BOTH resorts and they can easily be reached by literally walking across the street.

The Pineapple Beach Club offers its own beautiful section of sand and sea, a couple of pools, and even beachside barbeques at night.

Highlights:

  • Adults-only resort
  • Access to sister resort
  • Live music
  • Cute shops on site

3. Galley Bay Resort & Spa

A couple’s romantic getaway dream resort. Period.

This place is stunning from its incredible villas with private pools to its beachfront apartments and a striking slice of coastline. This adults-only resort is truly incredible and offers some serious perks without being pretentious in the slightest.

The little things here make a big difference. There’s a cute rum bar, so venturing too far away to get a sip of rum and some nightlight before you turn in isn’t necessary. The rooms come with snorkel gear so you can hop in and explore the sea at any time you please. 

Their restaurant was top notch and they even have a spa on-site, so when I say you don’t need to leave your resort, I’m not kidding!

Highlights:

  • Adults-only restore
  • Free snorkel gear + other water toys
  • Private dining options + rum bar
  • High-end spa on-site

4. Hammock Cove

Get ready guys, Hammock Cove is a new luxury all-inclusive resort that just opened, and it’s literally two seconds away from the Verandah Resort!

We got to visit before they were open to see what the villas are like and it was INSANE.

The villas have their own private pool, balcony with sea view, massive bed, a shower for two (or really like 10 because, yes, a bunch of us went in the shower to see how many could fit) and tons of other perks.

This is the ultimate spot if you’re looking for a private and romantic getaway, so uhm, yeah, look no further.

Highlights:

  • Luxury, adults-only all-inclusive resort in Antigua
  • Spacious villas with private pools + balconies facing the sea
  • Fine dining options
  • Fun activities on-site (cooking classes, live music, walking tours, water sports + more)

5. Sandals Grande Antigua

The Sandals chain is one of the best-known all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, and hey, sometimes the experience actually lives up to the hype!

Sandals Grande Antigua is a couples-only resort, so you’ll never be disturbed by kids running around the pools while you’re trying to relax. Speaking of pools, there are 6, one of which is a swim-up bar.

There is also a beautiful sandy beach where you can enjoy free activities (including scuba diving for those who are already certified), 11 different restaurants to choose from, and even a classic British pub (amongst other bar venues).

There are seriously so many options to pick from at this resort you likely won’t even be able to experience all of them in one trip.

This is one of the best Antigua all-inclusive resorts if you want a high-end experience, and the top-tier rooms come with plunge pools and butler service.

Highlights:

  • 11 different restaurants
  • Couples-only resort
  • Top-notch amenities (scuba diving, butler service + more)
  • Beautiful location along Dickenson Bay

6. Hermitage Bay

If you’re looking for a more intimate stay while still enjoying the perks of an all-inclusive, check out Hermitage Bay.

The resort sits in the secluded Hermitage Bay, and with just 30 suites, you’ll have no problem relaxing in solitude with your boo (kids under 14 are not allowed).

Don’t make the mistake of equating the resort’s small size with fewer amenities.

This boutique, all-inclusive adults-only resort in Antigua has some seriously spectacular offerings. Enjoy a champagne breakfast in bed, airport transfers, meditation classes, and more, all included in your stay!

Of course, you’ll find all the resort classics here as well, including pools, private beach access, multiple restaurants, and live music in the evenings.

Highlights:

  • Sustainable property + locally sourced ingredients at the restaurants
  • Small intimate resort in a secluded setting (Hermitage Bay)
  • Free airport transfers
  • Adults-only resort (14+)

7. Keyonna Beach Resort

There’s no denying that all-inclusive resorts in Antigua are definitely on the expensive side. And I won’t lie to you and say there are budget options available because really, there aren’t. But, if there is one that comes close to being affordable, it’s the Keyonna Beach Resort.

This is a 3-star resort, and relatively cheaper than some of the other options on this list. But you wouldn’t know it by the offerings!

It’s true, there is only one restaurant, and there are no TVs in the rooms, but the other amenities and the price cut more than make-up for those “cons” – who wants to watch TV when you could be on the beach, anyway??

The resort sits directly on Turner’s Beach on the southwest side of the island, and the sunsets here are some of the best in Antigua.

Other perks of Keyonna Beach Resort include the outdoor swimming pool, the short walk to the beach from every room, and the beach Bali beds assigned to each room – no need to put towels out to claim your spot every day!

Highlights:

  • More affordable all-inclusive option
  • Intimate + romantic resort with just 29 rooms
  • Adult-only resort
  • Rooms are right on the beach

8. Cocos Hotel Antigua

Another intimate pick for romantic getaways is Cocos Hotel.

When you picture your dream honeymoon, I’m guessing you picture something like this: powdery white sand, cozy, Caribbean-style cottages overlooking the ocean, a private pool on your balcony, oh, and no kids running around… am I close?

Cocos Hotel offers all this and more, and with just 34 cottages available, you’ll get a relaxing, boutique experience with all the all-inclusive resort amenities. You can go snorkeling, beach bum, and enjoy live music in the evenings.

There is only one restaurant, but it is known for serving up fresh, local cuisine – what else could you ask for?

Highlights:

  • Adults-only resort
  • Small boutique-style hotel with resort amenities
  • Ocean views + hammocks in every cottage
  • Lush vegetation + beautiful beaches

9. Escape at Nonsuch Bay

Perched along the cliffs of the island’s eastern coast, Escape at Nonsuch Bay is a luxurious all-inclusive resort with a rooftop pool and stunning views around the entire property.

There are only 40 suites, each of which is designed with a calming minimalistic style, plus its own private plunge pool on the deck overlooking the ocean.

There’s also a fine dining restaurant and a private beach area where the water is deep enough for swimming and snorkeling.

The Escape is actually part of the larger Nonsuch Bay Resort, so you’ll also have access to all of the sister resort’s amenities, including another restaurant, free sailboat rentals, three infinity pools, and an on-site spa.

What’s better than being able to use the bigger resort’s amenities and then returning to your own private oasis when you’re ready for a more intimate experience?

Highlights:

  • Private, boutique-style resort
  • Access to sister resort’s amenities
  • Private plunge pool in every room
  • Adults-only resort
