Blue Waters Resort And Spa
Home Destinations Blue Waters Resort And Spa
Blue Waters Resort & Spa is one of Antigua’s classic luxury resorts, set in its own private bay on the island’s north-western coast. Family-owned and established for more than 40 years, the resort has maintained a graceful Caribbean personality while modernising its rooms, suites and villas for contemporary comfort. Its appeal lies in the combination of space, privacy, warm service and an unmistakably relaxed island rhythm.
The property is especially attractive to travellers who want a refined beach resort without the scale or anonymity of a large chain hotel. Couples can enjoy secluded coves, romantic dining and spa time, while families benefit from generous accommodation, children’s facilities, watersports and a calm, secure resort environment. With its tropical gardens, sea views and wide choice of room and villa styles, Blue Waters Resort & Spa works well for honeymoons, family holidays, longer Caribbean stays and elegant all-inclusive escapes.
The resort sits within 17 acres of mature tropical gardens, with palms, bougainvillaea and flowering plants leading down towards three secluded beach coves. The setting feels naturally private, with the turquoise water, soft sand and sheltered coastline giving guests the sense of being tucked away from the busier parts of the island. The north-western location also places the resort within practical reach of St John’s, the airport and Antigua’s wider beaches and viewpoints.
Style is classic Caribbean rather than trend-led. Low-rise buildings, colonial references, breezy terraces, garden pathways and sea-facing spaces create a timeless resort atmosphere. The mood is polished but unpretentious, with a strong emphasis on comfort, personal service and easy days between the beach, pools, restaurants and gardens. It is a good fit for guests who appreciate traditional island hospitality with a luxury finish.
Accommodation includes Deluxe Beachfront Rooms, Hillside Suites, Hillside Luxury Suites, Luxury Suites and Luxury Suites with Plunge Pool, as well as the more exclusive Cove Suites, Cove Penthouse and private villa options such as Pelican House, Turtle Cottage and Rock Cottage. This range allows the resort to suit couples, families, multi-generational groups and guests looking for a higher level of privacy.
The Cove Suites are among the most distinctive choices, set apart from the main resort in four villas, each with its own infinity pool shared by a small number of suites. They offer approximately 730 square feet of space and a fresh Caribbean style with natural wood tones, white furnishings and modern amenities. The private houses and cottages provide a more residential experience, with expansive living areas, private pools or privileged settings, making them particularly suitable for families, groups or special-occasion stays. Across all categories, the emphasis is on space, comfort and a relaxed connection to the gardens or sea.
Dining at Blue Waters Resort & Spa is varied and strongly tied to the resort’s coastal setting. The Cove Restaurant is the most dramatic venue, positioned on a cliff top with Caribbean Sea views, flaming torches and a romantic evening atmosphere. Its Caribbean and French-influenced cuisine makes it the natural choice for special dinners, celebrations and more refined nights during the stay.
The Palm Restaurant is the resort’s main dining venue, surrounded by landscaped gardens and overlooking the sea. It offers a relaxed Caribbean café mood by day and a more polished atmosphere in the evening, with breakfast, lunch and dinner service. The Reef Restaurant provides a casual beach and poolside option, ideal for light lunches, drinks, salads, flatbreads and easy daytime dining. Guests may choose between Bed & Breakfast and All-Inclusive meal plans, with the All-Inclusive option adding à la carte dining across the restaurants, premium drinks and a daily restocked minibar.
The resort is designed for slow, elegant Caribbean days. Guests can relax beside the pools, move between the secluded beach coves, enjoy non-motorised watersports, play tennis, use the fitness centre or join the daily activity programme. The beach and pool service reinforces the resort’s effortless holiday feel, allowing guests to settle into a rhythm of swimming, reading, dining and sunset drinks.
The Spa at Blue Waters adds a restorative element, offering treatments in partnership with ila within a tranquil resort setting. Families are also well considered, with a kids club for ages five to twelve and enough space for children to enjoy the resort without compromising the calm atmosphere for couples. For guests wanting to explore beyond the property, private boat charters, snorkelling trips, coastal cruising and excursions to places such as Great Bird Island can be arranged, adding a stronger sense of Antiguan discovery to the stay.
Blue Waters Resort & Spa is located at Soldier’s Bay, St John’s, Antigua, on the island’s north-western coast. The setting gives guests a secluded beach-resort atmosphere while remaining within reach of the capital, V. C. Bird International Airport, local restaurants, island viewpoints and Antigua’s many beaches.
The location is particularly appealing for travellers who want privacy without isolation. Guests can enjoy the calm of the resort’s private bay, then venture out to explore St John’s, Dickenson Bay, historic English Harbour, Nelson’s Dockyard, Shirley Heights, local markets and scenic coastal drives. For Exotic Escapes, the property fits naturally as a refined classic Antiguan resort, especially for guests seeking a balance of beach relaxation, family comfort and Caribbean character.
Blue Waters Resort & Spa has a long-standing reputation within Antigua’s luxury hotel scene, supported by repeated World Travel Awards recognition over the years, including multiple wins as Antigua & Barbuda’s Leading Hotel. This recognition reinforces the resort’s positioning as one of the island’s most established and respected luxury beach properties.
