Inside Hermitage Bay, the lush Caribbean hideout moments from Princess Diana Beach

A hillside villa at Hermitage Bay - (Hermitage Bay)

From tiny coral islets and sprawling tropical islands to secret hidden coves and pink sand beaches, the Caribbean is one of the planet’s prettiest holiday destinations. And come winter in London, this sun-soaked area of the world becomes even more alluring, with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees.

On Antigua, a warm tropical air ensures fruit trees like papaya, june plum and coconut grow in abundance alongside tangled masses of bold coloured bougainvillaea. For nature lovers, it’s sheer paradise, and Hermitage Bay is enshrouded in this natural landscape, tumbling down a lush green hillside and right onto one of the island’s most exquisite bays.
