If you are looking for an all inclusive getaway with activities for the whole family then look no further than St James Club & Villas. The resort is set on a 100 acre peninsula on the southeast coast of Antigua and offers an abundance of facilities, from two beaches and six swimming pools to a spa and an extensive selection of water sports.
The extensive range of accommodation options and sprawling nature of St James's Club adds to the ‘club like’ feel of the resort. 40 residential villas are set on the hillside overlooking Mamora Bay, and these are perfect for families or groups of friends. A selection of guest rooms can be found set amidst the main resort facilities, some with direct beach access, which work well for couples.
When you are staying on an all inclusive basis, one of the most important things is having a good choice of dining options. With five restaurants and four bars, St James's Club certainly has this covered! Guests can enjoy everything from grilled fish sandwiches at the Beach Bar & Grill to Caribbean dishes served tapas style at Coco’s Restaurant.
The calm waters of Mamora Bay and the gentle surf of Coco Beach are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and guests can enjoy complimentary non-motorised watersports throughout their stay. Extensive sports facilities are also available, with tennis a popular pastime. The resort also boasts an award winning, complimentary Kids Club, which is perfect for keeping younger travellers entertained whilst parents enjoy a relaxing treatment at Tranquility Spa.
My favourite thing about St James's Club & Villas is that it really does have something for everyone, whether you want to try your hand at sailing or paddle boarding, or simply relax by the pool with a cocktail.
All rooms, suites and villas at St James's Club are decorated in a tropical, quintessentially Caribbean style. Each offers air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a telephone, cable TV, a hair dryer and a safe.
