This lovely hotel sits on its own 100-acre peninsula at the southeast point of the island, just a 10-minute drive from Nelson's Dockyard with its historical buildings, museum and bars. There are two beaches, one for non-motorised water sports and the other for enjoying refreshing ocean breezes. The resort boasts five open-aired restaurants and one grill; most fêted of these is Piccolo Mondo, the resort's fine dining Mediterranean style restaurant in the village section, while the attractive waterside Docksider does a great Caribbean buffet each Thursday in alfresco surrounds. For a real treat, Royal Suites feature a king size bed with sunken living room, glass sliding doors to a private balcony and expansive bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and his and hers showers! A boardwalk also takes you from the suites right into the heart of Mamora Bay, perfect for strolling along in the moonlight! If plenty of home-from-home comforts appeal, choose a villa instead of a hotel room at St James's Club. Cheerful and bright, they feature warm Caribbean tones and terracotta tiles throughout. They're also very generous on space so are ideal for families and groups of friends.

My Birthday Retreat was nothing short of Amazing. I chose St. James Hotel simply for the Pools and I was wowed.
My Room was Serene, situated literally 1 minute away from Rainbow Restaurant where the Breakfast Buffet never Dissapointed.
Every Staff I encountered had a good vibe.
The Reef Bar was the heart of the weekend as Wilson made sure my friends and I always had a drink. He was shaking a "July 4th" cocktail before we even finished the current one. Hats off to Wilson.
The Dockside Restaurant, Beach Grill and 11:11 became our spots as they didn't disappoint 1 bit.
If you're looking for a Quiet Relaxation Piccolo Pool has just the touch.
I'm definitely returning to St. James'

We had the pleasure of staying at St. James’s Club Antigua for 25 days while accompanying the Sri Lanka cricket team during the Test series against the West Indies, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish.
The resort has everything you could ask for. The gym is spacious and well-equipped, the swimming pool is large and perfect for relaxing, and there are excellent floodlit tennis and pickleball courts for those who enjoy staying active. There are several restaurants to choose from, each offering a great variety of delicious food and beverages, so dining was always something to look forward to.
One of the highlights of the resort is its beautiful, pristine beaches. Whether you want to simply relax by the water or enjoy activities such as sailing, kayaking, or boating, there is something for everyone. The surroundings are peaceful, beautifully maintained, and provide the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.
What really made our stay special was the service. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. A special thank you to the General Manager, whose hands-on approach was refreshing to see. He was always visible around the resort, greeting guests, assisting the staff, and making sure everyone was well looked after. His leadership clearly sets the tone for the excellent level of service throughout the property.
After spending almost a month at the resort, it genuinely felt like a home away from home. We would not hesitate to recommend St. James’s Club Antigua to anyone looking for a relaxing Caribbean getaway with excellent facilities, outstanding hospitality, and a beautiful beachfront setting.

My suite was spotless, and the view from my room was absolutely breathtaking. The food was delicious throughout my stay, with COCO's and 11/11 standing out as my favorites—chef's kiss!
A special shoutout to bartender Wilson, whose handcrafted cocktails are unforgettable. After trying one of his creations, you'll definitely want to come back for more!
What truly sets this resort apart is its people. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The management team made a point of interacting with guests and was always visible and available to help whenever needed.
Overall, St. James's Club & Villas offers an amazing experience. You'll leave not only feeling refreshed but also having made new friends and valuable connections. I highly recommend it!

This visit was to celebrate our mum’s 80th birthday. We had a very pleasant experience right from when we made initial inquiries at the resort. The staff were very friendly and helpful starting with Tina (Bettina) in the booking office. Being introduced to Askiya, the event coordinator, was a step up to the next level. She was very friendly, supportive and culturally appropriate. She went above and beyond and meeting her in person at the resort only confirmed that she was the real deal. She is definitely someone that you would want to help coordinate your event.
Riaan, the manager is a very impressive hands on person and he is always willing to help. Ozzie, Terri-Ann, Omar and the other staff members were always pleasant to interact with. Travis took incredible photographs.
We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend St. James to anyone visiting Antigua.
