A GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY

Carlisle Bay has a rich history that dates back to the early 18th century. Located on the southern coast of Antigua, this area was once a bustling hub of sugar production and trade. The resort's name itself pays homage to the bay's British naval history, named after the Earl of Carlisle, James Hay. The site has since been transformed from a sugar plantation into a pristine luxury resort. The property fans around the bay, where pelicans dive for fish and yachts bob in the glistening waters.
