About
Galley Bay Antigua
Galley Bay is an adults only (16+) all-inclusive retreat perfect for the discerning traveler. It enjoys a secluded setting amidst forty acres of tropical
gardens between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a pristine sugar-white beach on the tranquil west coast of Antigua. Great care has been taken to ensure the resort complements these natural surroundings. Thatch, bamboo and terracotta establish an ambience of refined rusticity in the public areas, while a picturesque wooden deck ensures maximum exposure to the ocean views. There is little disruption from the outside world as access to the resort is via a wooden bridge traversing the bird sanctuary. This is the perfect stress-free Caribbean escape for couples seeking a romantic getaway.
PLEASE NOTE:> Due to Hurricane Irma, the hotel will closed until further notice.
