THE RESORT
Nestled two miles off the coast of Antigua, Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort, is noted for its stately palms, rare tropical flowers and a superb staff offering world-class service. Re-opened in 2003 following a $7.6 million dollar renovation, Jumby Bay has already cultivated an elite and international clientele. Nearly a third of this private, 300-acre island is home to the 50 suites and villas of Jumby Bay resort. Many of the junior suites are arranged in a Mediterranean-style enclave, while elegantly furnished cottage-style guestrooms crown the gentle knolls above the palm-studded beach.
The island offers three superb white sand beaches for whiling away sun-kissed days. World-class dining, exhilarating leisure options, and easy access to the airport, golf, casinos and shops on mainland Antigua combine to make this unique and genteel refuge a premier destination.
