Hodges Bay Resort & Spa – Chic Caribbean luxury with a bohemian vibe


🌊 Oceanfront location | 🍹 Infinity pool | 🚤 Private island access | 🎾 Tennis courts | 🌴 Family-friendly

Overview


Welcome to Hodges Bay Resort & Spa, a stunning five-star luxury retreat on the northern tip of Antigua. This modern hotel blends sleek design with relaxed island charm, placing you just a short boat ride away from the pristine shores of Prickly Pear Island. You'll love waking up to sweeping ocean views and spending your days drifting between the comfortable poolside cabanas and the warm Caribbean Sea.


Rooms


  • Air-conditioning to keep you cool in the tropical heat
  • Private balcony or terrace for your morning coffee
  • Flat-screen TV and complimentary Wi-Fi
  • En-suite bathroom with premium toiletries and a walk-in shower
  • Minibar and hot drink making facilities

Dining


Savour a world of flavours right on your doorstep. You can choose from Bed and Breakfast or Half Board meal plans to suit your holiday style. Discover a signature fine-dining restaurant serving fresh, locally caught seafood, alongside a relaxed lounge where you can enjoy tapas and cocktails just steps from the refreshing sea breeze. For a casual bite, the poolside grill offers light lunches and snacks under the sun.


Pools and Spa


Take a dip in the iconic oceanfront infinity pool, or find a quiet spot by the adult-only heated pool for a moment of complete tranquillity. If you are looking to truly unwind, the sleek wellness retreat offers a range of soothing therapies. Please note that the use of the Spa centre (including massages, treatments, and the sauna or steam room) may be subject to additional charges.


Beach


The hotel sits directly on a peaceful stretch of oceanfront, perfect for sunset beach walks and dipping your toes in the water. Because coastal conditions can vary on the northern shore, you will also enjoy an exclusive, quick boat transfer directly from the hotel's private pier to Prickly Pear Island. Here, you can spend the day relaxing on soft white sands or snorkelling over a vibrant local reef in crystal-clear waters.


Sport and Entertainment


Keep active during your stay with non-motorised water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding out on the waves. You can also work up a sweat in the fully equipped fitness centre or challenge a friend to a match on the floodlit tennis courts. In the evenings, soak up the chic atmosphere with ambient live music around the fire pits.

“Happy to leave 5 star review”

An Exceptional Hotel with Outstanding Staff – A Truly Five-Star Experience! We had a wonderful stay at Hodges Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua. The beautiful surroundings, stylish rooms, luxurious bathrooms, swimming pools and thoughtful details—including the iconic astronaut sculpture—made the resort memorable. The exceptional staff made our visit even more special. In particular, Jean Marie went above and beyond to organise a surprise 50th birthday celebration for a friend. Her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail ensured everything ran seamlessly, and she made the occasion truly unforgettable. Hodges Bay is ideal for a special celebration or a relaxing luxury holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and would happily return—five well-deserved stars!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1,000/10 — Jean Marie Set a New Standard for Luxury Hospitality!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1,000/10 — Jean Marie Set a New Standard for Luxury Hospitality! Where do I even begin with Hodges Bay Resort & Spa? Our stay was absolutely beautiful, but what truly took our experience from a wonderful vacation to something we will genuinely remember was the level of service we received—especially from Jean Marie, the Guest Services Manager. Jean Marie was TOP TIER. I genuinely believe she set the standard for how guest service should be done at every luxury hotel. Her exceptional service actually began weeks before we even arrived in Antigua. I was planning a weekend getaway and birthday surprise for my partner, and Jean Marie assisted me through email every step of the way. She gave me different options, prices, helped me organize everything, answered my questions, and made sure I could create exactly the experience I envisioned. And somehow, the service became even more impressive once we arrived. Jean Marie went far beyond what I would ever expect from hotel guest services. She helped arrange and decorate our room for my partner’s birthday surprise, made sure we had cases of water for our daughter, and constantly checked that we had what we needed. At one point, she even drove our car into town for us and later picked us up after our Extreme Adventure Tour excursion. WHO DOES THAT?! 😂❤️ That wasn’t just good customer service. That was genuine hospitality. She treated us like we were her personal guests and made us feel completely taken care of. That is luxury. If you’re planning to stay at Hodges Bay, my recommendation is simple: email Guest Services and ask for Jean Marie. Especially if you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, romantic getaway, or another special occasion. She is absolutely phenomenal and was one of the biggest highlights of our entire stay. The resort itself is GORGEOUS. When we arrived, we received an upgrade to a beautiful two-bedroom accommodation, and we could literally walk right outside to our infinity pool. It gave us the privacy and space of a luxury villa while still having all the amenities and service of a high-end resort. That setup was especially perfect for us because we were traveling with our daughter. We had enough space for family and friends who live on the island to visit and help babysit when my partner and I went out at night. For families who want luxury without feeling confined to a traditional hotel room, this was perfect. The butler service was another 10/10. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. I also have to give a special shout-out to Willisha at the bar—another top-tier member of the Hodges Bay team who added to our experience. And the FOOD! 😍 We ate at the resort’s restaurant and everything we had was delicious. My partner and I had the fried rice along with the catch of the day, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Another major advantage is the location. Hodges Bay gave us that secluded, luxurious resort feeling without making us feel isolated from the rest of Antigua. We had a rental car and could easily drive into St. John’s, run errands, explore the island, do our excursions, and then return to the resort and enjoy all of its amenities. Would I stay at Hodges Bay Resort & Spa again? ABSOLUTELY. Without hesitation. 10/10 doesn’t even cover it. 1,000/10. The property is stunning, the accommodations are luxurious, the food was delicious, the location was convenient, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. But exceptional hospitality is ultimately about people—and Jean Marie made Hodges Bay unforgettable for us. Hodges Bay, you have an absolute gem in her. ❤️ We came for a birthday getaway, but we left already knowing that we would happily come back. Highly, highly recommended. 🇦🇬❤️

“Amazing staff and property!”

The hotel staff is absolutely amazing and responsive. The property is immaculate and clean, and the breakfast buffet is a must try. My stay was short so I didn't get to explore Prickly Pear island... a nice beach area. The only negative is the beach on the resort, but I'm a beach snob. Overall, my short visit was absolutely amazing. Kudos to management for hiring the best in class staff!👏🏼
