Five Islands Village, Antigua (west coast), Antigua and Barbuda

Activities at Galley Bay Resort & Spa

Activity programming is deliberately low-key — not a resort that runs pool Olympics at 10 AM. Non-motorized water sports, tennis, yoga, and fitness center are included. The beach is good enough to occupy most of the day without organized programming.

Swimming Pools

Waterfall Swimming Pool

Large freeform pool with a waterfall and tropical landscaping. Lounge chairs and shade umbrellas throughout. With only 98 rooms worth of guests, the pool-to-guest ratio is favorable even at capacity.

Beaches

Galley Bay Beach

Three-quarter mile white sand beach on Antigua's sheltered west coast. The water is calm, warm, and shallow — consistently described as among the best swimming conditions in Antigua. The beach rarely crowds given the 98-room cap on guests. Hammocks, Bali beds, over-water loungers, and standard chairs provided. Complimentary towel service. Non-motorized water sports launch from the beach. A clothing-optional section is available in a designated area.
