Hermitage Bay Antigua

4 Business View Caribbean Antigua,” Thesen states, proudly. Indeed, with only 27 rooms, Hermitage Bay is a small property - even though the entire resort is surrounded by 140 acres of lush, undeveloped land. “There’s a real sense of space and seclusion,” Thesen says. “The waves on the beach, the breeze in the trees, and the chatter of birds; it’s the perfect antidote to modern, hectic life; a true hermitage.” All of the hotel’s villas were designed to blend in naturally with the bay; ten of its individual suites are positioned right on the white- sand beach and the remaining 17 were constructed on the hillside, overlooking the water, to maximize views and privacy. And all of the villas were made from sus- tainably-managed wood from forests in Guyana, stay- ing true to Thesen’s ethos as an avid environmentalist. Rachel Browne, General Manager
