Antigua & Barbuda: Jumby Bay
A Private Island, Fully Inclusive
Named for the jumbies, the playful spirits said to roam the West Indies, Jumby Bay Island has a little bit of magic built into its very name. Getting there is part of the experience too: land in Antigua, board a private yacht, and in under ten minutes you're crossing over to a 300-acre island with two white-sand beaches that feels like it belongs to another era entirely. There are no keys, no signatures, no small transactions breaking up the day, just a fully inclusive rhythm built around barefoot luxury and quiet conservation.
Accommodations range from 22 sprawling private estates with dedicated house staff to 13 elegant villas with butler service and 40 oceanfront cottages perched above the water, each placed to make the most of the island's own natural layout. Days can be as playful as the island's namesake suggests, with snorkeling, sailboarding, biking, and sunset cocktail cruises on offer, while three restaurants and four bars carry the food and drink side of things, and the spa draws on wellness traditions native to the West Indies.
