The story

A horseshoe bay on Antigua's south-west coast

Carlisle Bay sits on a horseshoe-shaped bay on the south-western shore of Antigua, backed by rolling hills and tropical rainforest. It is about thirty minutes by road from V.C. Bird International Airport. All 87 suites face the ocean, and several open directly onto the sand, from garden and ocean suites to two-bedroom beach terrace suites and four larger Carlisle Suites that sleep six.

The resort is an approved venue for civil ceremonies and can arrange a celebrant and help with the Antiguan paperwork. Couples choose between the white-sand beach and the shelter of the palms in Coconut Grove, with floral arches, chairs and lanterns arranged by the resort. Receptions run from a beach banquet for up to 90 guests to dinners of 40 to 160 at Indigo on the Beach, Ottimo! and EAST, and the entire resort can be booked for a wedding with family and friends.
