HOTEL INFORMATION

GALLEY BAY
Five Islands
P.O. Box 305
St. Johns, Antigua


Distance from Hotel to Town/St. John's, 10 minutes. 
Distance from Hotel to V.C. Bird International Airport, 25 minutes. 

Galley Bay is an all-inclusive beachfront hideaway created for 
discerning travelers in search of a refined, yet unpretentious 
escape. It enjoys a secluded setting amidst forty-acres of lush, 
tropical gardens between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a 3/4 mile 
beach on the undeveloped west coast of Antigua. Great care has 
been taken to ensure the resort not only compliments, but also 
takes full advantage of these untouched natural surroundings. 
Thatch, bamboo, and terracotta combine to establish an ambience
of elegant rusticity in the alfresco public areas, whilst 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. The 69-guest rooms are discreetly tucked away amidst 
the palms, more than three-quarters of them lying directly on 
the white sand beach and boasting breathtaking views of the 
Caribbean Sea- the comfortable Superior and Deluxe Rooms all 
feature private terraces or balconies, whilst sunken living 
rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive bathrooms with 
deep-soaking tubs distinguish the Premium Suites. Home-from-home 
comforts throughout include air conditioning, ceiling fans, 
satellite TVs, mini-refrigerators and coffee makers. Set just 
behind close to the bird sanctuary is the unique Gauguin cottages 
with their own individual splash pools. Designed as semi-private 
sanctuaries for couples, each one consists of two thatched-roof 
rondovals (one a bedroom and the other a bathroom/dressing room), 
as well as splash pools with paved sundecks, many of them 
overlooking the lagoon. Woven bamboo ceilings, uneven whitewashed 
walls and cool terracotta tiling establish their charming 
Caribbean theme, whilst the beach is no more than fifty-yards away.  

In keeping with Galley Bay's tranquil, escapist ambience, 
recreational activities tend to be of a relaxing nature and 
guests are generally quite content to sunbathe on the sands 
or around the landscaped swimming pool. Those in the mood 
for a little action, however, can take advantage of the 
championship tennis court, air-conditioned fitness room or 
non-motorized watersports, such as windsurfing, sailing, 
snorkeling and kayaking. Massages are also available on-site, 
scuba-diving can be arranged nearby, whilst golf on two 18-hole 
golf courses are less than 30-minutes drive away. Dining is also 
an important part of any stay at Galley Bay, the European 
Executive Chef specializing in Euro-Caribbean cuisine that 
makes the most of fresh local produce and seafood. Guests 
seeking a change from the a la carte fine dining experience 
of The Sea Grape can enjoy the grilled fare of the more intimate 
Gauguin restaurant, both dining venues alfresco and just steps 
from the Caribbean Sea. Afternoon tea, evening hors doeuvres, 
live entertainment, cocktail parties and Caribbean barbecues 
all contribute to the hotels sociable, tropical ambience, 
whilst the personal service from the staff contributes to 
its exceptionally high repeat-guest quota.
