Turtle Crossing Jumby Bay, Antigua, Caribbean

Fall in love with the setting and the locals at Turtle Crossing. Though the seven-bedroom villa is surrounded by lush gardens, the landscape opens in front of the house to panoramas of the sea. Take in the scenery from the property’s three-story tower or walk to the nearby beach or Jumby Bay Resort for a different view. Make new friends by feeding the residents of the villa’s red-footed turtle sanctuary, and don’t worry—there’s a chef to feed you, too.

As part of the Jumby Bay community, Turtle Crossing offers guests access to shared features like pools, fitness facilities, and even a croquet lawn. Take your meals and beverages at the resort, or let the villa’s chef and butler cater to you. In addition to the turtle sanctuary, there’s plenty to entertain at the villa, from tennis and basketball courts and a bar to golf carts and bicycles. Spend an afternoon watching the waves from the rooftop lounge or soaking in the sun on the terrace, and in the evenings, choose from one of three outdoor dining areas.

Vaulted beamed ceilings, tile floors and an open-plan layout create a beachy, laid-back atmosphere inside the villa. In the sitting area, understated wicker sofas get a shot of color from orange dragonfly-print pillows, while the TV room has a whimsical, larger-than-life waterfowl statue. The formal dining area has a simple, streamlined dark wood table and chairs, but weathered urns and objets add character. All-white cabinets and a roomy island layout give the fully equipped kitchen easy, breezy appeal.

Each of the seven bedrooms at Turtle Crossing has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The master suite has a king bed and its own private courtyard, and there are two additional bedrooms with king beds as well. Two bedrooms have queen beds and two more bedrooms have two twin beds each.

From the villa, it’s a 2-minute walk to the closest beach, just over a half-mile to Pasture Bay Beach and about 1 mile to Jumby Bay Beach. If you’ve flipped for turtles, you can visit the Hawksbill Turtle Project while you’re at Pasture Bay Beach. To get back home after your trip, you’ll need to walk just under 1 mile to the Jumby Bay ferry dock, take a 7-minute ferry ride back to Antigua and make a 5-minute drive to V.C. Bird International Airport.
