The Inn at English Harbour

The Inn has 4 Beachfront rooms where you can “fall” out of bed and be in the sea in seconds for that early morning swim.

All rooms and suites offer a private verdanda or terrace, ceiling fan, air conditioning, safe, cable TV, mini-bar, hairdryer, flat screen TV, IPod station and internet access, and are luxuriously furnished.

Complimentary activities include tennis, fitness centre, kayaking and snorkelling and laser sailing.

The Reef Restaurant is on the beach and open for breakfast and lunch and the Inn Antigua Restaurant is possibly one of the most romantic spots on Antigua to enjoy a candlelit dinner. If you like to partake of an apres dinner liquer or a pre-dinner cocktail, the Terrace bar in the original house is like stepping back into the times of Lord Admiral Nelson – very atmospheric.

For that relaxing massage or facial, a visit to the Spa is a must. They offer a wide range of treatments to energise or relax you – the choice is yours.

Travelling from the UK to the British Virgin Islands

The most direct way is from Gatwick to Antigua with either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic. BA tend to have better connections. The onward flight is with either inter-Caribbean Airways who fly non-stop between Antigua and Tortola, or Liat who stop down once or twice en-route but you do not have to change planes. An amazing way to arrive into the BVI is to charter a private aircraft just for your party. Both Island Birds and VI Airlink provide an excellent service and will meet you when you disembark in Antigua, fast-track you through immigration and customs and take you to your waiting aircraft. Definitely worth the additional cost.

Travelling from Scotland

Flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow can also be arranged to connect with the Gatwick flights on certain days. Flights from regional airports can be arranged through Paris or Amsterdam to St Maarten and onwards to the BVI.

Travelling from New York, Boston or Miami

If you would like to have a few nights in New York, Boston or Miami before heading to BVI, this can also be arranged. The onward flight is via Puerto Rico which is a 35 minute hop over to the British Virgin Islands or again….Island Birds or VI Airlink can be arranged.

There are no direct flights to the BVI which is why the islands remain unspoilt, uncrowded and uncommercialised.
