It\u2019s already Antigua\u2019s most anticipated hotel opening of 2019 \u2014 but now the soon-to-debut Royalton Antigua Resort and Spa has announced another major component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 294-room all-inclusive hotel will include Antigua\u2019s first-ever overwater bungalows set on Antigua\u2019s Deep Bay.<\/p>

The adults-only Diamond Club \u201cChairman Overwater Bungalows\u201d are a collection of one-bedroom villas, each with special amenities including butler service, private transfers and yoga classes, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond Club is Royalton\u2019s premium service category.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, every overwater bungalow has its own private infinity plunge pool, a hammock, a king-sized bed, a pullout couch, a private ocean entry from a private deck and a glass floor to \u201cexperience the ocean from the comfort of this luxurious villa,\u201d according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Royalton Antigua is slated to open its doors on May 1, with everything from a spa to a casino and a kids club.<\/p>

The new bungalows will make their debut in the second week of June, a company spokesperson told Caribbean Journal<\/em>, with a total of six bungalows. That could include more in the pipeline pending further environmental studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new bungalows continue a regional trend that began in earnest with the debut of Sandals\u2019 overwater bungalows<\/a> at its Sandals Royal Caribbean resort in Jamaica back in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"overwater<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That has spread across the region, with several resorts featuring overwater bungalows now in development in the region, including the Viceroy Bocas Del Toro<\/a> in Panama and the Four Seasons in Belize<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
