Perched on a picturesque promontory that separates the frantic Atlantic from the calmer Caribbean, Curtain Bluff is blessed with beautiful sandy bays on either side. Originally built around a restored stone sugar mill and intended as a private Antiguan residence by a former Second World War fighter pilot, this family-owned hotel is now one of the Caribbean’s most coveted resorts. As packed as full of history as modern comforts, this 5-star hotel exudes timeless beauty where nothing is done in half measures – weekly cocktail parties, a 5,000-square foot spa and an All Inclusive that includes champagne by the glass are the norm. Spend your days enjoying the many activities both on and offshore, from paddle-boarding to aqua aerobics, yoga classes, and more and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. Younger guests will be in their element at the complimentary kids’ club where a daily activity program promises mocktail and chocolate making classes and competitive crab races.
Why we love it
Curtain Bluff offers the opportunity to support the local community while enjoying the luxuries of a 5-star stay. With an unusual no-tip policy, any voluntary donations are given to the Old Road Fund which supports local people in need with medical expenses, building repairs, and tertiary education.

Dining
The Sea Grape Open air restaurant on the beach
At the far end of the bay beach, right on the sand and tickled by near-constant sea breezes, is the Seagrape. This open-air establishment serves up an expansive daily lunch offering (including our weekly beach barbecue accompanied by a steel-drum band). Bento box service is available to your cabana on the beach or by the pool from 12pm to 4 pm. Seagrape offers dinner several nights per week. Dinner fare is an inventive blend of Italian and Antiguan influences with dishes like yellowtail tuna carpaccio, beetroot gnocchi and fresh-caught pan-seared wahoo filet. In the evenings, smart shorts and collared shirts are recommended for gentlemen. For ladies, denim shorts are not permitted.
The Tamarind Restaurant Located in the centre of the resort
Start your day with a shaded breakfast set to the pace of the gentle sea breeze at our central restaurant, the Tamarind. The menu includes traditional favorites like banana pancakes, French toast and eggs benedict, plus traditional island dishes, fresh juice, fruit and baked goods prepared in house by our renowned pastry chef. In the evening, dinner tables awash in candlelight are set with a rotating five-course menu including salads, locally caught fish, outstanding meats, and so many desserts they have their own menu. After the meal, diners filter onto the terrace for dancing to live music and stargazing under the moonlight. Daytime service is casual attire. At dinner, slacks (no jeans) and a collared shirt with dress shoes are required for gentlemen. For ladies, denim shorts are not permitted.
The Wine Cellar
Our excellent house wines are included alongside other alcoholic beverages in the room rate. For those aficionados looking for a truly exceptional bottle, however, Curtain Bluff boasts one of the finest wine cellars in the Caribbean. Our cellar is stocked with more than 4,000 wines from nearly a dozen countries sourced by our sommelier. Wine cellar tours can be arranged by your concierge and are hosted by one of our knowledgeable wine team.
