"A dazzling 300-acre private island with a ‘no cars, no keys’ policy, Jumby Bay feels intimate and exclusive: emerald lizards, tortoises, and hummingbirds enliven blinding white sands and turquoise waters filled with starfish and snapper. The resort’s 40 rooms, 14 villas, three restaurants, and a Tata Harper spa offer luxurious suites with terraces or inset pools, inclusive perks like Taittinger on tap and limitless water sports, and standout experiences such as a memorable rum tasting with the barman and access to a private beach club called The Hut." - Lauren Burvill
"Refined yet relaxed and chic yet unpretentious, this Antigua private island delivers for families and activity seekers: I found wakeboarding and tubing available alongside bike rides, tennis, pickleball, and fishing, and villa staff who will organize karaoke nights, scavenger hunts, and pool parties for your group. Nearly everything is included—meals, drinks, activities—and there’s a kids club, lovely poolside views, and a buzzy new beach club and restaurant called The Hut on Little Jumby just a three-minute boat ride away." - Maria Diego

"A secluded 300-acre private island located two miles north of Antigua offering luxury suites, villas, and private residences with indoor-outdoor living; the island has two pristine white-sand beaches (Jumby Bay and Pasture Beach), three swimming pools, and a Villa Butler Service where each villa comes with a personal butler to anticipate needs, from unpacking to orchestrating children's scavenger hunts. The island hosts a Hawksbill Turtle Research Program (June–November) and a Sailing Academy with RYA-certified instructors and a fleet of 12 sailboats; private sailing adventures from the resort’s dock may incur extra costs. Inclusive programming covers dining, land and ocean leisure activities, and a Jumby Explorers program for younger guests." - Amanda Eyre Ward Amanda Eyre Ward Amanda Eyre Ward is a New York Times-bestselling novelist whose novel THE JETSETTERS was a Reese's Book Club pick.
