Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa
![]()

Sandals Resorts are all the most beautiful places on earth, only Sandals Antigua has earned the title of "World's Most Romantic Resort".
Overview
Filled with the authentic charm of the islands in its lush garden oasis known as The Caribbean Grove... and resplendent with European grandeur amidst its palatial retreat known as The Mediterranean Village, this spectacular resort offers the best of both worlds on one idyllic island. Where balmy breezes still whisper tales of yore when British Admiral Lord Nelson sailed these famous shores
As you enter the magnificent, atrium-style lobby of Sandals Grande Antigua, brilliantly colored light streams down from a wall of stained glass, bathing you in vivid hues and painting you a promise of the glories to come. Outstanding service, unprecedented amenities and an unbelievably divine ambiance of intimacy and authentic Caribbean grace all combine to make this spot a not-to-be-missed, once in a lifetime destination for couples in love.
On an island renowned for its beaches (365 of them! one for each day of the year) Sandals Grande Antigua takes pride of place with its prime location, directly on the most famed beach of all, Dickenson Bay. Silky white sand, incredibly clear turquoise water and never-ending golden sunshine are just a part of the immense charm and natural beauty that has earned this magical place the titles of "Most Romantic Resort", "World's Leading Honeymoon Resort" and the ultra-prestigious Five Star Diamond Award.
Airport Transfers (Included)
Roundtrip airport transfers are provided in air-conditioned buses to all booked guests arriving at V.C. Bird International Airport in St. John's. Sandals Grande Antigua is about 30 minutes from the airport.
