Pure and simple are the words that best summarise the charms of this adult only rustic retreat on Antigua's western coast. This blissful haven is ideal for couples looking for a good quality chill out spot and is popular with honeymooners.
Accommodation
This is an all inclusive resort with a difference. With 53 pastel coloured cottages, Cocobay is a picturesque hideaway that has taken full advantage of its lovely natural setting on a headland. Scattered across the hillside, the gingerbread cottages have stunning views of the emerald waters around them and private decks complete with hammock - perfect for whiling away a few hours. The hilltop Plantation Houses are the pick of the bunch with two en-suite bedrooms, a separate living area and private verandah.
Luxuries
Lazy days can be spent either around the infinity pool perched on the cliff edge, or on the beautiful powder white sand beaches a few minutes' walk away at the bottom of the hill. The “wellness cottage” provides extra pampering with soothing massages and reflexology treatments.
Activities
Guests wanting to explore the local surroundings can join guided nature walks and hikes into the nearby hills with the medicine man from the local village.
Dining Out
The beach is also the setting for the gourmet Sheer Restaurant (which carries a cover charge and also requires men to wear a shirt and tie), housed in intimate open-air wooden pavilions connected by deck walkways. The main restaurant, called Rafters, can be found further up the hill.
