“Best Luxury-World” Resort by TripAdvisor.com Readers
Galley Bay, the celebrated Caribbean hideaway tucked into a jewel-like corner of Antigua’s west coast, once again has garnered many of the travel industry’s most prestigious awards, including the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List for “World’s Best Places to Stay” and a top spot in the magazine’s “Top 25 Caribbean Resorts, Reader’s Choice Award” category. Galley Bay was recently won the 2007 Gold Award from Virgin Holidays for “Best Caribbean & Mexican Resort.”
Earlier in 2007, the resort also was voted top honors as it made TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice “Best Luxury – World” Top 100 List.
“Galley Bay has consistently been ranked among the world’s top resorts, both by the industry and by savvy travelers,” says Steven E. Heydt, Elite Island Resorts president. “Discerning travelers praise Galley Bay for its friendly service, wide range of amenities and refined yet unpretentious atmosphere. And it just keeps getting better. In 2007, we debuted 32 beachside Premium Suites featuring all the latest tech gadgets such as 32-inch, flat-screen wall-mounted TVs, iPod docking stations, DVD players and wireless Internet access, as well as oversized bathrooms with his and hers showers and expansive corner soaking tubs for two. This winter a new spa, Indulge, will open, offering indulging and rejuvenating treatments featuring world class Pevonia Botanica products. Indulge’s two elevated massage decks overlooking the lagoon and bird sanctuary are sure to delight spa goers.”
The Galley Bay experience begins at arrival. After being greeted with a cooling towel and rum or fruit punch, guests are transported by golf cart on a narrow lane across the resort’s bird sanctuary lagoon to its secluded beachfront. The boutique property’s 94 guest rooms are set amid 40 acres of lush tropical gardens, either directly along its private, three-quarter-mile-long beach or among gardens with concealed individual plunge pools and lagoon views. This casually elegant retreat features two restaurants and three bars where guests can enjoy three meals a day, afternoon tea, evening hors d’oeuvres, by-the-glass top-shelf beverages, entertainment, cocktail parties and barbecues. Recreation includes non-motorized water sports, a swimming pool, jogging and hiking trails and a tennis court.
