Established in the 1960s, Antigua’s 5-star Inn at English Harbour was acquired in the 1990s by the Italian Addari family, whose history of art restoration in Italy is widely expressed in the design of the resort. The 31-room-and-suite boutique hotel sits in a privileged beachfront position adjacent to English Harbour and the picturesque Nelson Dockyard National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Each of the hotel’s beach cabana rooms, junior suites, deluxe suites and hillside pool suites is steps from the resort’s wide palm-lined sandy beach and its fresh-water pool. Rooms are arranged in pavilions throughout the grounds and are expansive and exquisitely decorated with chic furnishings, mahogany floors and immense bathrooms. Three hillside suites were added in 2025.

Breakfast, lunch and afternoon high tea are served at the beachfront Reef Restaurant. Cocktails and gourmet dinners – international fare with a Caribbean touch – are served al fresco at the hilltop Terrace Restaurant and Stone Bar.

A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group, The Inn at English Harbour is located 20 minutes from St. John’s, Antigua’s picturesque capital, and a half hour from St. John’s International Airport. Many guests rent jeeps to explore the island and its beaches, while many happily choose never to leave the secluded 19-acre property. The resort offers two tennis courts, watersports, yachting, gym and a wide range of massages and beauty treatments.
