Description

Nestled two miles off the coast of Antigua, exclusive Jumby Bay is noted for its landscape lush with rare tropical flowers, stately palm trees and abundant foliage. Nearly a third of this private, 300-acre island is home to the 50 suites and villas of Jumby Bay resort.

Please note: this resort is scheduled to be closed from June 2008 through part of 2009.

Accommodations

With 40 beautifully refurbished suites and 11 villas spread across nearly a third of the island, guests feel deliciously ensconced in their own secluded hideaway. Each suite is an oasis of luxurious idleness embodying the island's stylish good taste.

OCEANVIEW ROOMS

Enjoy views of the sea from these spacious rooms featuring a bedroom with four-poster bed, bathroom, sitting area and terrace or balcony. Each room reflects a special charm and elegance of its own.

RONDAVELS

Located in octagon-shaped buildings, Rondavels feature wraparound terraces with views of the ocean and a hammock for relaxation. The rooms offer a four-poster bed, sitting area and bathroom with a large shower and outdoor garden with shower.

OCEANVIEW COURTYARD SUITE

With interiors that complement rather than compete with the beautiful island setting, each suite has a sitting area and bedroom with four-poster bed and offers views of the Caribbean Sea. The suite's bathroom features an indoor shower area as well as an outdoor shower and pedestal soaking tub set in a calming private courtyard.

ONE-BEDROOM SUITE

These suites offer comfort and privacy in a spacious setting. Each has a bedroom with four-poster bed, separate living area and bathroom with a large walk-in shower, and some offer an outdoor garden rainshower as well.

JUMBY BAY SUITE

Situated near Pond Bay, the resort's latest suites each feature a private entry courtyard graced with a soothing fountain, generous living and bathroom areas, expansive terrace overlooking the sea with private plunge pool and spacious bathroom featuring indoor tub, vanity table and outdoor shower set in a private courtyard. The two one-bedroom suites connect, and can be combined to create a two-bedroom accommodation.

TWO-BEDROOM SUITE

Located in octagon-shaped buildings, these suites offer a master bedroom with four-poster bed, second bedroom, bathrooms with a large walk-in shower and outdoor garden rainshower, and living room which opens onto a wraparound terrace with hammocks and views of the ocean.

TIR NA NOG - 4-Bedroom Villa

This plantation-style beachfront house, ideally situated on Pasture Beach, is light and airy with mahogany doors, covered verandas, exposed rafters, an open-air cupola, 4000 square feet of living space and a pool. Two beachfront master suites with ocean views are accompanied by courtyard guestrooms that open to gardens.

HARBOUR VILLAS

Designed to offer expansive views of the sea and to create an indoor/outdoor living experience, these two-bedroom villas are the ultimate in luxurious accommodation. Each features a large kitchen on the upper level and a living room that opens onto a magnificent terrace. They are decorated in the most unique and elegant furnishings and features cable TV and VCR. Harbor Hill Villas are nestled on the water's edge. Harbor Beach Villas and select Harbour Hill Villas feature their own plunge pool.

POND BAY VILLAS

A gracious collection of two- to four-bedroom residences, the Pond Bay Villas are terraced along the dramatic cove overlooking Jumby Bay Beach. Each has been beautifully designed with casually elegant Caribbean interior decor. A private courtyard featuring a pool secluded from the public meets villa guests upon entering. Surrounding the pool, the four villas offer expansive views, large patios and floor-to-ceiling doors designed to bring the tranquility of the outdoor environment indoors. Each offers a large kitchen, living room and bedrooms with spacious bathrooms. Hummingbird and Alamanda offer air-conditioning and ceiling fans in all bedrooms. Villa guests have access to all of the services and amenities of the resort.

Dining

The Verandah Restaurant

Simplicity and individuality are at the heart of Jumby's cuisine. Signature dishes and an array of combinations that simply must be experienced are inspired by a fusion of East and West, fresh and elegantly understated.

The Estate House

Candlelight, swaying palms and soothing music lend to the Casablanca-style atmosphere of the resort's central gathering place. Located in a 230-year-old English plantation manor, Jumby's signature restaurant specializes in modern European cuisine with Asian touches. Multi-course dining options as well as a seasonal tasting menu are offered. Cocktails are served upstairs, amid colonial elegance, on the surrounding terraces.

In-suite and picnic options

In addition to full English breakfasts at The Verandah, arrangements can be made to have a continental breakfast served on your private terrace. Private terrace dinners, beach dinners and picnic lunches may also be arranged at your request.

Weddings

Love and Commitment at Jumby Bay...

Situated on a private island just off the coast of Antigua, Jumby Bay offers spectacular natural surroundings and haven-like seclusion. We invite you to come indulge in this tropical paradise and exchange or renew your vows of love and commitment. Our wedding coordinator will personally accompany you when applying for your marriage license in St. John's and assist in all aspects of planning the wedding and celebration.


Wedding Receptions & Dining

Following the ceremony, there are a variety of ways to celebrate. We offer dinner for two on the beach, private dinner in your room and cocktail receptions, or you may choose to enjoy one of our renowned restaurants. Our Executive Chef and his team will create a menu to suit your unique taste.

Legal Requirements - Antigua

Local authorities are most cooperative and have simplified arrangement for marriage and renewal of vows on Antigua. There is a 24-hour residency requirement, to include at least one business day (Monday – Thursday, if you arrive on Friday you will marry on the next Tuesday). If neither person has been married before, birth certificates are sufficient; otherwise, a former spouses death certificate or divorce decree is needed.

At the Ministry of Legal Affairs in downtown St. Johns, you meet for a friendly interview where you present the necessary legal paperwork and submit the Marriage Application (application will be completed prior to your meeting at Jumby Bay).

You will proceed to The High Court where you meet with a Marriage Officer who will review your application, issue a Marriage License and set the date, time and place for the ceremony.

On the date of the wedding, the marriage officer will come to Jumby Bay to perform a civil ceremony. A non-denominational religious ceremony is also possible and our wedding coordinator will gladly advise you of the officiant available.

Please note that all documents you are required to furnish must bear legal names, otherwise an affidavit is needed stating that one or the other is known by a different name. Passports are required and if either person has been divorced, the original (or a notarized copy) of the divorce decree must be presented.

Local Area

A naturalist's haven, the island features three superb, white sand beaches. One of them, Pasture Bay Beach, is home to endangered species of turtles, rare birds and sheep.

Jumby Bay, a secluded hideaway accessible only by boat, is known worldwide for providing discerning travelers with world-class service and distinguished amenities. The island's gardens and paths are ideal for walking or biking. The resort's casual elegance blends smoothly into its natural environment.
