The Verandah Resort and Spa

Who can do it? Beach lovers.
Let's go! With 365 beautiful beaches dotted along Antigua's coastline, you're sure to find the perfect sunny spot. Antigua is blessed with a large unbroken wall of coral reef where stunning tropical fish make their home so do try to make time to scuba or snorkel here. The Tranquillity spa at The Verandah Resort & Spa has a wide range of treatments designed to work in harmony with its tropical surroundings. If you get a bit too much of that Caribbean sun; calm your skin with a soothing Water Lily After Sun treatment.
Top Tip: With a great Kids' club there's plenty to keep little ones entertained while you indulge in some me-time.
