Hotel information
Perched on a tranquil hillside between Darkwood and Ffryes, Tamarind Hills Resort & Villas is a boutique retreat where lavish luxury combines with the natural beauty of Antigua’s west coast.
This is a place designed for you to kick back and relax, whether that’s by enjoying the sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea or making use of the direct access to one of the island’s most unspoilt beaches.
Tamarind’s stylish studios, suites and private residences are perfect for couples and families. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximise the brilliant blue of the sea views, while sleek interiors create a calming sense of space. Many suites and all private residences feature a private pool—some on the beachfront, others cascading down the hillside—giving you the option of complete seclusion.
Life here is centred around laid-back luxury. You might start the day with complimentary yoga overlooking the ocean, join a guided hike through the island’s lush terrain or relax on Ffryes Beach, pausing only to enjoy lunch at a rustic beach bar. At the resort itself, beachfront dining at Wild Tamarind celebrates local flavours in a refined setting, while a variety of activities, from non-motorised watersports to pickleball or the indoor golf simulator, provide balance to the serenity.
Despite its peaceful atmosphere, Tamarind Hills is just five minutes from Jolly Harbour Marina, where you’ll find boutiques, restaurants and yacht-lined promenades. Its location allows you to immerse yourself in Antigua’s lively social scene before returning to the calm of your private villa or suite.
With its versatile accommodation, elegant design and mix of privacy and leisure, Tamarind Hills is ideal for a romantic escape, a family holiday or a stylish Caribbean base to share with friends.
