About The Property

Hermitage Bay is a privately owned, luxury, all inclusive, 5-star boutique hotel on the west coast of Antigua with thirty individual suites set in beautiful tropical gardens on the beach and hillside of a stunning natural bay.

At Hermitage Bay, Antigua the philosophy “Forgot the World” is reflected in very aspect of the property. As the name suggests, Hermitage Bay is a place of peace and tranquility. “It demands a gentle hand,” co-owner, Andy Thesen explains, “it demands that man-made noises are minimized so that the natural noise prevails: the waves on the beach, the breeze in the trees, and the chatter of the birds. It is the perfect antidote to modern, hectic life. It is a true hermitage.” An avid environmentalist, Andy and his business partner, Andrew Michelin, embarked on this project with a real sense of the responsibility they had to retain the spirit of Hermitage Bay.

This gentle-handed approach was adhered to even as land was cleared in a non-evasive manner — sourcing sustainable building materials and constructing the property to blend in naturally with the bay. This practice continues to this day with the hotel’s “reduce, reuse and recycle” policy, as well as conscientious efforts to use natural detergents and beauty products, employ solar energy technologies, and source locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables.
