Tropical foliage and pristine white beaches characterize Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort, a secluded fully-inclusive hideaway accessible only by boat from Antigua. The island features two excellent sunbathing beaches, Jumby Bay Beach and Pasture Beach, plus winding paths lined with towering palms, ideal for walking or biking. A haven for naturalists, the island plays host to a variety of wildlife including sheep, the White Egret, and the Blue Pelican.

Jumby Bay’s suites whisper of good taste. Inspired by the lush tropical surroundings of the resort, rooms are decorated in subtle beiges and creams that compliment the British Colonial furnishings. Four-poster beds lavishly made with Italian linens and oversized outdoor soaking tubs on private verandahs will ease guests into relaxation.

Pampered in luxury, guests need not lift a finger. As if by magic, every member of the staff knows your name and warmly tends to your every request. Whether it be a refreshing drink brought to your lounge chair or a romantic private dinner on the beach, every desire is met so that guests need only to focus on relaxation and rejuvenation.

Jumby Bay Island is a 300-acre private enclave just two miles north of Antigua. An ancient coral reef first discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, Jumby Bay Island takes its name from “jumbie,” Antiguan colloquial for “playful spirit.” Held by a series of owners including a family of sugar planters, the island was developed as an ultra-luxe resort and vacation community in the 1980s.

In December 2009, Jumby Bay revealed a $28 million resort-wide transformation. Closed since June 2008, the ultra-luxe, resort hideaway re-emerged with an array of absolutely brand new enticements; including its first-ever Sense, A Rosewood Spa®, 28 new spacious suites and fully enhanced accommodations, new open-air Verandah, new Pool Grille bistro-style restaurant, and a pair of $18 million Estate Homes with private pools, tennis courts, and full access to the many amenities of Jumby Bay. For active travelers, Jumby Bay offers watersports, tennis, hiking and biking trails, a fitness center and a new oceanfront infinity pool.

The exclusive Jumby Bay resort is legendary for providing discerning travelers with unparalleled, world-class service and distinguished amenities making it one of the best resorts in the Caribbean.
