Sugar Ridge Resort

Sugar Ridge is the newest four star plus luxury boutique hotel in Antigua having been opened in December 2003. From its elevated position, Sugar Ridge is situated amid the lush tropical vegetation and offers unparalleled views over the Caribbean Sea, palm lined beaches and the headlands to Five Islands Bay. On the horizon lay Montserrat, Redonda, Nevis and St. Kitts like jewels flung upon the sea. This area is also Antigua's most fertile region with its black pineapple farms and mango trees around every corner.

The resort is just a 35-minute drive from V.C. Bird International Airport and a 25-minute drive to the capital of St. John's.

Sugar Ridge offers 60 spacious guest accommodations, housed in 15 two-story buildings that seem to "grow" out of the landscape. Most are shaded by private plants and palm trees, ensuring ultimate privacy. Each guest room has an outdoor verandah on which to enjoy the idyllic setting gentle trade winds. Casually elegant interiors are light and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides for excellent cross ventilation. The rooms feature dark wood and natural colored fabrics accented by island colors. Bathrooms feature a glass walled walk in showers. Half of the guestrooms are outfitted with outdoor plunge pools. Some rooms can connect to another room.

The Spa is the only AVEDA Concept Spa in the Eastern Caribbean and is designed to awaken the senses and bring balance back to body, mind and soul, in a serene atmosphere. The Spa offers four treatment rooms including a spa suite for dual treatments; a wide range of massage, skin care and body treatments; and a full-service beauty salon. Each treatment is customized to meet the guest's individual needs and is suitable for both men and women. Due to the popularity of the Spa, advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
