So, take a break and whisk the family off to The Inn at English Harbour, on the captivating Caribbean island of Antigua, and enjoy some quality time together while creating fun-filled memories that will last a lifetime.

Plan to spend a fun, relaxing day with the children on the resort’s private, white sand beach, which includes its own private jetty to protect the coastline from the effects of currents or tides. Use the resort’s sun-beds and umbrellas to enjoy the warm, Caribbean sun and cooling trade winds while lounging on the beach.
