Antigua’s premier luxury destination, Hammock Cove Antigua, part of the esteemed Elite Island Resorts collection, is elevating the standard for Caribbean getaways with the introduction of its exclusive Signature Villas and a new season of immersive cultural and social programming. This strategic enhancement reinforces Hammock Cove’s commitment to delivering unparalleled privacy, personalized service, and a sophisticated lifestyle experience for discerning travelers.
The Pinnacle of Private Luxury: Signature Villas
Hammock Cove Antigua has unveiled its most luxurious accommodation category to date: the Signature Villas. These spacious sanctuaries, spanning 1,490 square feet, are meticulously designed to offer an elevated level of seclusion and indulgence. Each villa boasts expansive private decks featuring oversized plunge pools—three times the size of those found in the resort’s other suites—providing guests with a private aquatic retreat. Further enhancing the in-villa experience are private indoor wet bars, separate living and sleeping areas for optimal comfort, and breathtaking panoramic views of Antigua’s tranquil bays and coastlines.
Thoughtful amenities are standard in these exclusive villas, including Serta Perfect Sleeper king mattresses, premium Egyptian cotton linens, daily turndown service, and a curated selection of books for leisurely enjoyment. Adrian Pickard, General Manager of Hammock Cove, commented on the launch, stating, “The launch of our Signature Villas is about raising the standard of luxury in Antigua. We’ve designed these villas to give guests the privacy of a personal retreat while maintaining the full-service experience and cultural connection that define Hammock Cove.” This expansion signifies a leap forward in Caribbean villa living, blending sophisticated design with ultimate comfort.
Elevating the Caribbean Lifestyle: Curated Guest Experiences
Complementing the new villas, Hammock Cove Antigua is rolling out a slate of distinctive seasonal programming designed to deepen guests’ connection with the local culture and enhance their overall Caribbean lifestyle. Running from October 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, these curated experiences offer a blend of elegance, authenticity, and social engagement.
The Chairman’s Scotch & Cognac Club is a refined weekly gathering held in the exclusive Chairman’s Lounge. Limited to just 12 guests, this event features premium pours of Louis XIII Cognac and Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch, paired with gourmet canapés prepared by Michelin-starred Chef Marco Festini. The experience is elevated by white-glove service, creating an elegant evening that appeals to connoisseurs.
For a more relaxed yet equally refined social occasion, Sir Rob’s Cigar Social takes place at the resort’s Nobody Knows Bar. This casual evening offers guests hand-selected cigars, curated island rum tastings, delectable bar snacks, and lighthearted games designed to foster camaraderie in a laid-back Caribbean setting.
Celebrating the island’s vibrant creative community, the Rotating Art Tunnel Exhibit & Artist Cocktail Series provides a monthly showcase of local artists. In partnership with Quay Studio, Hammock Cove will feature rotating art exhibits, accompanied by weekly cocktail receptions. These events offer guests the unique opportunity to meet the artists, engage in cultural storytelling, and even purchase artwork directly.
Kari Tarnowski, Chief Commercial Officer of Elite Island Resorts, emphasized the resort’s philosophy: “Hammock Cove has always been about offering experiences that feel both luxurious and authentically Antiguan. From our new villas to our curated social and cultural events, we’re creating moments that inspire guests to connect with each other, the destination, and the finer things in life.”
