Curtain Bluff

Curtain Bluff was built in 1957 in a stunning location on Antigua by renowned hotelier and owner, the late Howard Hulford.

The 72 guest rooms, Deluxe, Junior Suites, Suites and Executive Suites offer all the qualities of island living combined with every essential amenity and service.

Running along the Atlantic ‘surf’ beach and up the rocky bluff, all have spectacular views, and either open directly on to the sand or are just a few steps from it. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows and verandas or ground-floor terraces look out over the beach and across the sea to a lush-green headland.

Curtain Bluff has a 5,000-square-foot spa which sits apart from the rest of the resort just feet from the sea.

Its four treatment rooms boast spectacular views over the water to distant Montserrat, Cades Reef, St. Kitts, Nevis, and Redonda.
