The Caribbean’s Top All-Inclusive Resort Is Getting Even Better, With New Signature Villas, Limited-Edition Tastings, and a Cocktail-and-Art Series


No resort has been named the number one all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean more often than Hammock Cove Antigua

It’s easy to see why, from the private infinity pools to the cuisine by Michelin-starred Chef Marco Festini to the setting in one of the most beautiful corners of Antigua.

Our editors fell in love with this resort from the moment it opened – and it continues to set the standard for the all-inclusive experience. 

Now, the legendary luxury all-inclusive is taking things to the next level.

The Antigua resort is adding new Signature Villas — instantly the most spectacular accommodations on the island. And that’s just the beginning.

What You Need to Know

The new Signature Villas have large decks with oversized plunge pools that are triple the size of the other suites at the resort. That’s along with amenities like indoor wet bars, Serta Perfect Sleeper king mattresses, dedicated desk areas and separate bedroom areas — along with daily turndown service and other touches. 

The idea is about “raising the standard of luxury in Antigua,” said Adrian Packard, general manager of Hammock Cove, in a statement provided to Caribbean Journal

New Programming: Scotch, Cigars, and Art 

Hammock Cove is also upping its programing, with a host of cool new inclusions from October through April 30, 2026. 

So what’s on the agenda?

You can enjoy weekly Chairman’s Scotch and Cognac Club, limited-guest (12 or fewer) tastings with Louis XIII Cognac, Johnnie Walker Blue, premium cigars and canapés. 

There’s also the Cigar Social, which includes a flight of rums, snacks and games set at the resort’s outstanding Nobody Knows Bar (a bar we love).

There’s also a new focus on art: every month, the resort, working with local gallery Quay Studio, will put local artists in the spotlight, with cocktail receptions in the property’s Art Tunnel where you can actually meet the artists, buy their art and immerse yourself in the burgeoning art scene in Antigua. 

“Hammock Cove has always been about offering experiences that feel both luxurious and authentically Antiguan,” said Kari Tarnowski, Chief Commercial Officer of Elite Island Resorts. “From our new villas to our curated social and cultural events, we’re creating moments that inspire guests to connect with each other, the destination, and the finer things in life.”
