About The Verandah Resort & Spa

This luxurious eco-friendly resort is situated on 30 spectacular acres overlooking a tranquil bay, hidden away on the untouched northeast coast of Antigua. With its classic Caribbean village ambience and two powder-soft white-sand beaches plus a large freeform pool and array of on-site family-friendly activities and dining venues, families and couples alike will find a unique vacation experience. It's the perfect choice for romantic getaways or family vacations, with the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. Situated adjacent to a National Park, this beautiful resort fronts a crystal clear reef-protected bay, perfect for swimming. In keeping with its green theme, this all-suite, ecologically-designed retreat boasts lush landscaping of indigenous palms, plants, stone and natural materials.

This resort focuses on families—featuring a Kidz Club and Teen program, a children’s swimming pool and menu items for children in the buffet restaurant. However, despite the emphasis on families, the resort has dedicated areas for couples, such as an adults-only swimming pool.
