As one of Antigua’s newer luxury resorts, Hammock Cove brings a fresh, modern aesthetic to the all-inclusive, adults-only experience. Its defining feature is that every one of its 42 villas boasts a sprawling veranda with a private infinity-edge plunge pool overlooking the stunning turquoise waters of a protected bay.

Choosing Your Perfect Antigua Honeymoon Package

When planning your 2026 Antigua honeymoon, consider what matters most to you as a couple.

• All-Inclusive vs. EP: All-inclusive resorts like Hammock Cove and Galley Bay offer peace of mind, with all meals, drinks, and many activities included. This allows you to relax without worrying about the final bill. European Plan (EP) resorts, where food and drinks are separate, might be better if you plan to explore the island's many local restaurants.
• Vibe and Atmosphere: Do you prefer the utter seclusion of Hermitage Bay, the ultra-luxe private island feel of Jumby Bay, or the social-yet-relaxed vibe of Galley Bay? Each resort has a distinct personality.
• Must-Have Amenities: Is a private plunge pool a non-negotiable? If so, focus on Hammock Cove, Cocobay, or the hillside suites at Hermitage Bay. Is a world-class spa your priority? Consider Galley Bay's tranquil setting.

Whatever your preference, booking well in advance for a 2026 honeymoon is crucial, especially for the most sought-after resorts and room categories. Let us help you curate the perfect start to your forever in the paradise that is Antigua.
