Boutique luxury resort on a private cove at Soldier Bay on Antigua's north coast. Intimate scale, excellent spa, and beachfront bungalows. More peaceful than the busier Dickenson Bay resorts while remaining accessible to the north-coast activities.
Blue Waters Resort & Spa occupies a secluded cove at Soldier Bay on Antigua's far north coast, providing a boutique alternative to the larger all-inclusive resorts clustered around Dickenson Bay to the south. The property's defining characteristic is its intimate scale and private beachfront position — the resort wraps around a sheltered bay accessible only through the resort grounds, ensuring the beach remains exclusively available to guests. Accommodation includes beachfront suites, ocean-facing rock cottages perched on the cliff above the cove, and two-bedroom villa options for larger groups or families. The rock cottages in particular offer a dramatic elevated position with views across the Atlantic, combining natural ruggedness with comfortable interiors. The Blue Spa provides massage and body treatment services, and two swimming pools — one at the beach level and one at the upper terrace — ensure there is always space away from the beach. Two restaurants cover both casual all-day dining at the beach club and more formal Caribbean cuisine in the evening. Water sports available from the private beach include kayaking, snorkelling, and sailing. The resort is not all-inclusive; room rates cover accommodation only or bed-and-breakfast, which gives guests flexibility over dining spend.

Tips for visiting
- The rock cottages offer the most dramatic views but are reached via steps — confirm suitability if mobility is a concern.
- Soldier Bay is one of the calmest bays on the north coast — ideal for snorkelling directly from the beach.
- The resort is not all-inclusive; budget for dining at the two restaurants or arrange day trips to Dickenson Bay's wider selection.
When to visit
December through April offers the finest beach weather. The sheltered private cove makes Blue Waters a viable option year-round, including the summer months when the bay remains protected from Atlantic swell.
