Nestled two miles off the coast of Antigua, exclusive Jumby Bay is noted for its landscape lush with rare tropical flowers, stately palm trees and abundant foliage. Nearly a third of this private, 300-acre island is home to the 50 suites and villas of Jumby Bay resort. A naturalist's haven, the island features three superb, white sand beaches. One of them, Pasture Bay Beach, is home to endangered species of turtles, rare birds and sheep. Jumby Bay, a secluded hideaway accessible only by boat, is known worldwide for providing discerning travelers with world-class service and distinguished amenities. The island's gardens and paths are ideal for walking or biking. The resort's casual elegance blends smoothly into its natural environment.
