The Inn at English Harbour

The Inn has 4 Beachfront rooms where you can “fall” out of bed and be in the sea in seconds for that early morning swim.

All rooms and suites offer a private verdanda or terrace, ceiling fan, air conditioning, safe, cable TV, mini-bar, hairdryer, flat screen TV, IPod station and internet access, and are luxuriously furnished.

Complimentary activities include tennis, fitness centre, kayaking and snorkelling and laser sailing.

The Reef Restaurant is on the beach and open for breakfast and lunch and the Inn Antigua Restaurant is possibly one of the most romantic spots on Antigua to enjoy a candlelit dinner. If you like to partake of an apres dinner liquer or a pre-dinner cocktail, the Terrace bar in the original house is like stepping back into the times of Lord Admiral Nelson – very atmospheric.

For that relaxing massage or facial, a visit to the Spa is a must. They offer a wide range of treatments to energise or relax you – the choice is yours.

Travelling from the UK to the British Virgin Islands

The most direct way is from Gatwick to Antigua with British Airways and onwards to Tortola with inter-Caribbean Airways, which is also a non-stop flight. Virgin Atlantic fly from Heathrow to Antigua and the onward flight is with inter-Caribbean Airways to Tortola. Alternatively, BVI Holidays can charter a private aircraft just for you and your party. You will be met when you disembark your transatlantic flight in Antigua, and fast-tracked through immigration and customs and taken to your waiting aircraft.

Travelling from Scotland

Flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow can also be arranged to connect with the Gatwick and Heathrow flights on certain days. Flights from regional airports can be arranged through Paris or Amsterdam to St Maarten and onwards to the BVI.

Travelling from New York, Boston or Miami

If you would like to have a few nights in New York, Boston or Miami before heading to BVI, this can also be arranged. You can either fly onwards via Puerto Rico which is a 35 minute hop over to the British Virgin Islands or again, a private charter can be arranged. There is a direct flight from Miami to Beef Island, Tortola.

Travelling from the USA

Depending on where you are in the USA, you can fly to Miami or San Juan, Puerto Rico and onwards to the BVI, or another option is to fly to St Thomas and take the ferry to Tortola. BVI Holidays can also arrange a private charter from St Thomas into Anegada, Tortola or Virgin Gorda.

Larger aircraft cannot land in the BVI which is why the islands remain unspoilt, uncrowded and uncommercialised.
