Just two miles off the coast of Antigua, Jumby Bay Island—Oetker Hotels’ private island retreat—offers a rare residential-style stay defined by privacy, generous space and the ease of fully serviced island living.
The private estates represent the most expansive accommodation on the island and are designed with multigenerational stays in mind. Dotted across the 300-acre Caribbean island sanctuary, most occupy a single level, with architecture that opens naturally to gardens, sea and one another—a configuration that allows grandparents, parents and children to move easily between shared spaces and quiet corners. The rhythm of each day is shaped by the household rather than a resort schedule.
Each estate stay is supported by a dedicated estate butler team and private chef, alongside the island’s hosted unlimited inclusions. Watersports, tennis, curated island activities, dining and access to the full range of island facilities are seamlessly incorporated, removing the need for planning and allowing families to focus entirely on time together.
Among the newest private estates now available for bookings:
EVANGELINE (1,441 m2 / 15,512 ft2) – One of the largest and most romantic properties, inspired by Longfellow’s poem, is a beachfront sanctuary—an immaculate, palm-studded landscape embraced by the beautiful blue Caribbean.
BALA VISTA (1,155 m2 / 12,436 ft2) – Offering 360-degree views and constant breezes, Bala Vista is a stunning modern private estate located at Jumby Bay Island’s highest point. From tennis and bocce courts to a heated spa—every comfort awaits.
COCO BEACH (2,323 m2 / 25,000 ft2) – A new beachfront estate where architecture doesn’t frame the ocean; it surrenders to it: floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve, 18-foot vaulted ceilings soar and a 75-foot infinity pool merges with sweeping Atlantic views. Private beaches offer sunrise views on one side and sunset on the other, alongside a rooftop deck and one of only two padel courts in Antigua.
For smaller gatherings—or those who prefer the cadence of a private villa to the scale of an estate—the Villas at Harbour Hills offer a more intimate expression of the same philosophy. Jabberwocky sits above Buckley Bay with three bedrooms, a heated pool and broad terraces designed for easy indoor–outdoor living, while Whispering Palms occupies a prime stretch of beachfront, recently redesigned with light Caribbean tones and contemporary interiors. Together with neighboring residences across the hillside, the villas can be combined to form a private compound of up to 18 bedrooms, with pools, golf carts and butler service throughout.
