It's Calmer in the Caribbean

Switch your phone to airplane mode, then throw it in the hotel safe. Call it self-care, call it ghosting, call it what your therapist gently suggested last session, but after a few Wi-Fi-free days in the Caribbean, you’ll emerge as a gentler, glowier version of yourself — slightly sunburned, mildly over-hydrated, and blissfully unreachable.

Carlisle Bay

St. Mary’s, Antigua
Refined All-Inclusive, $$$

The Scene
Those seeking a reprieve from the everyday grind should find their way to the gentle shores of Carlisle Bay, where 87 contemporary sun-filled suites backed by rainforest lead directly to a beach of calm, clear waters and soft sand. There is a relaxed but refined vibe here that makes this place feel far away. A very good spa, beach barbecues, and minimalist, tasteful rooms add to the overall Zen aesthetic. 

The Action
Four on-site restaurants use fresh, locally sourced ingredients offering international cuisines. For true romance, book dinner on the jetty — just the two of you, delicious tuna tartare, and a lot of votive candles. The spa offers holistic treatments alongside a gym and yoga pavilion and tennis courts (with clinics and lessons). The adults‑only zone is separate from the family zone to keep things very peaceful. To get a better understanding of this paradise, be sure to visit cultural sites like Dow’s Hill Interpretation Centre and take a beautiful ride through lush Fig Tree Drive.
