Jumby Bay: Your Own Private Island

As the world takes longer strides towards opening up, we say: take a beat and retreat! Especially if that retreat is Jumby Bay. 

An island resort nestled in a northeast corner of the equally nestled Antigua, Jumby Bay is one of the most exclusive and secluded Caribbean destinations. This is as close to a private island as it gets. 

Antigua is easily accessible from all of the major US hubs. On arrival, you’re met by the Jumby Bay staff who ensure your negative Covid status and board you on the resort’s yacht that takes you the short sail to Jumby Bay. 

Jumby Bay hosts guests in their suites, villas or private residences. So, what is already a private experience can be made even more so. And, as an all-inclusive experience—meals, drinks, water activities, rum tastings, afternoon yacht rides, tennis, yoga and more—you won’t have to think about a thing, other than perhaps which spa treatment to enjoy. (These experiences are not inclusive, but worth every cent.) 

The spas specialists tap into the island’s African roots bringing together time-honored remedies using botanical oils, thermal baths and the channeled grace of a higher power to heal, relax and restore you. The spa is worth the trip to Jumby Bay alone and stands well apart from other spa experiences. 

And, with Tattinger champagne as the house champagne, you can only imagine the standard of food and beverage you’ll experience. 

So, with the spirits setting the spa standards and Tattinger those of the culinary scene, both coupled with the most secluded beach destination, Jumby Bay should be on your very short list for a post-Covid restorative vacation or the most romantic of honeymoon getaways.

Who says one can’t open up and retreat all at the same time?
