It’s already Antigua’s most anticipated hotel opening of 2019 — but now the soon-to-debut Royalton Antigua Resort and Spa has announced another major component.
The 294-room all-inclusive hotel will include Antigua’s first-ever overwater bungalows set on Antigua’s Deep Bay.
One of the eateries at the soon-to-open hotel.
The adults-only Diamond Club “Chairman Overwater Bungalows” are a collection of one-bedroom villas, each with special amenities including butler service, private transfers and yoga classes, among others.
Diamond Club is Royalton’s premium service category.
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 “experience the ocean from the comfort of this luxurious villa,” according to the company.
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.

The new bungalows will make their debut in the second week of June, a company spokesperson told Caribbean Journal, with a total of six bungalows. That could include more in the pipeline pending further environmental studies.
The new bungalows continue a regional trend that began in earnest with the debut of Sandals’ overwater bungalows at its Sandals Royal Caribbean resort in Jamaica back in 2016.
That has spread across the region, with several resorts featuring overwater bungalows now in development in the region, including the Viceroy Bocas Del Toro in Panama and the Four Seasons in Belize.

These absurd water bungalows are being built in front of other people’s ocean front property rather than in front of hotel property; thereby deeming ocean front property valueless. Beware all those contemplating purchasing ocean front land in Antigua –
anyone can now build on the water directly in front of your land. 1 mmusd per acre now gets you the view of the back of a poorly constructed water bungalow.
These gimmicks for so little return are a blight on the ocean.
The law of the jungle applies at its fullest, the powerful win at the expense of others
Don’t worry my friend, the first hurricane will deal with your problems, as you yourself said, they are “poorly constructed” therefore, they will be hurricane fodder !
Exactly. I sincerely hope we dont need to see their ruins as an eyesore on the bay after thst happens.
They will also be a security nightmare,
…so if the water in front of the beaches is now for sale, how much does it cost and who does one approach to buy it? None of the real estate agencies advertise.
Everything is a dam problem with Antigua people…. Is not your money if hurricane mash them up is that your business? Tired of you all BS..Are you just freaking dunce..
