On the tranquil west coast of Antigua, bordered by tropical gardens, a bird-sanctuary lagoon and pristine white sands, 43-acre Galley Bay pampers visitors with oceanfront accommodations, fine dining, a range of watersports and activities, not to mention first-class service by the gracious staff.

Guests are greeted in the historic sugar mill reception and taken by golf cart to one of the 94 rooms, cottages and suites, most of which rest directly on the powder-soft beach. Others are set close to the bird sanctuary, affording views of the flourishing gardens from private splash pools.

With its romantic seaside setting, Galley Bay offers couples a memorable wedding experience. Whether the choice is an intimate exchange of vows or a large-scale celebration with family and friends, professional wedding coordinators ensure the event goes off without a hitch. They arrange such details as the bridal bouquet, venue decor, wedding cake, champagne toast and photography. The resort staff also provides vital information about legal requirements and necessary documentation.
