Antigua’s Hermitage Bay to reopen Nov. 1 after extensive renovation

Hermitage Bay, located on Antigua’s west coast, is set to open its doors again on November 1, 2024, following a multi-million dollar renovation project.

Now under the ownership of international hotelier, Daniel Shamoon of Luxury Hotels Partners, the resort retains all of its original charm, but has added enhancements, including 30 fully redesigned guest villa suites, an increased number of private pools, refreshed spa and newly landscaped gardens.

The guest experience has been reinvigorated with a new beach club concept and bar, and new activities that “align with the natural energy and rituals of the destination,” according to a press release.

The renovation was carried out by same team behind several of Shamoon’s other properties, including the famed Puente Romano Beach Resort in Marbella, Nobu Marbella and Nobu Marrakech.

“For nearly 20 years, Hermitage Bay has rightfully earned its reputation as a true Caribbean jewel,” said Shamoon. “By closely collaborating with the expert team on the ground, this renovation allows us to restore the magic and the soul of Hermitage Bay whilst adding a modern touch and ensuring its future legacy as a world class destination to rival not only other luxury Caribbean resorts, but hotels all over the world. In addition to welcoming back many of its loyal guests, we are confident that Hermitage Bay will attract a new generation of seasoned travellers seeking a luxury lifestyle experience in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful destinations.”

Hermitage Bay was also recently inducted to the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
