You’ll fly into V.C. Bird International Airport on the north side of the island of Antigua. From there, you can take a taxi or rent a car and take it southwest to the opposite end of the island-about a 30-minute drive by car to get to Carlisle Bay.
It’s often said that everything in Antigua is a 30-minute drive from everything else, because of all the secret coves and bays. That’s certainly true of Carlisle Bay. It’s away from it all, but still near the highlights of the island. The town of English Harbour, a yachting and sailing refuge, is a half-hour drive away by car. The hotel is also located near Nelson’s Dockyard a UNESCO World Heritage Site with preserved 18th-century British buildings.
Carlisle Bay is an ultimate luxury resort for families in Antigua with everything you need to keep you busy and satisfied on property, so a car may not be necessary unless you have your heart set on exploring several other parts of the island. If you just want to get out once or twice, such as to English Harbour or Nelson’s Dockyard, ample taxis are available at Carlisle Bay or arranged through the concierge to take you wherever you’d like to go without the hassle of renting a car.
Tour operators will also provide transportation if you’d prefer organized excursions, including ziplining or snorkeling, and Carlisle Bay’s concierge team can help you arrange them.
Don’t waste your time searching for rates and availability. We can handle it (and love it!), at no additional cost to you.
