Bridal

Carlisle Bay broke the mould when it opened its doors on the popular island of Antigua. With its designer cool, it has raised the bar for island hotels and therefore chic island weddings. There are plenty of wow factors that brides and grooms will rave about from the beautiful contemporary design to a dinner for two on a beautiful lantern lit jetty. All suites are ocean facing with views of Montserrat across the bay. With bespoke furniture, crisp white Frette bed linen, Gaggia espresso machines, bedside fibre optic reading lights, fresh fruit delivered daily and large day beds on every balcony and terrace, what’s not to love? There are two of the island’s most outstanding restaurants, East and Indigo on the Beach and three great bars. And then there’s the Blue Spa, a homage to minimalist calm. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and rainforest, the couple’s treatment room is the place to head.
