About this Property

Calabash in Jumby Bay Island

Calabash — interior and outdoor living spaces

00 — Overview

Calabash is a five-bedroom residence set on Jumby Bay Island, one of only two properties on the island with direct access to the main Jumby Bay beach. Four of its five bedrooms — two primary suites plus a pool suite and a garden suite — have super-king beds and confirmed views of the Caribbean Sea, and each has an en-suite bath with an outdoor shower and tub, plus a shared powder room. The 1,500-square-foot heated private infinity pool has an underwater massage feature, set beside a sunset deck perched just above sea level. Indoors, the kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in open bar, and a 14-seat covered loggia handles outdoor dining. Wireless sound and streaming media run through the property via Sonos, alongside large-screen TVs and iPads. A private chef, butler, and housekeeper are included, along with Jumby Bay’s resort-wide privileges — water sports, dining, tennis, and a 25% discount on food and beverage across the island.

01 — Indoor Living

Open, layered interiors

Calabash’s interiors run understated furniture and natural textures against harmonious color tones, with each bedroom individually designed. The kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in open bar, and the living areas carry large-screen TVs, iPads, and wireless sound and streaming media by Sonos throughout. Two primary suites plus a pool suite and a garden suite each have a super-king bed, air conditioning, and an en-suite bath with an outdoor shower, a tub, and double-sink vanity; a shared powder room rounds out the bathroom count. The bed configuration of the fifth bedroom is confirmed on request.

02 — Outdoor & Pool

Designed for the day outside

Outdoors, Calabash is built around a 1,500-square-foot heated private infinity pool with an underwater massage feature, set on a terrace with ample lounge seating. A 14-seat covered loggia handles outdoor dining, and a sunset deck perched just above sea level looks west across the Caribbean Sea toward mainland Antigua. The property sits in an acre of tropical gardens that cascade toward the ocean, with direct access to the main Jumby Bay beach — one of only two properties on the island with that access.

03 — Bedrooms

Four of them — two primary suites, a pool suite, and a garden suite — each have a super-king bed, air conditioning, sea views, and an en-suite bath with an outdoor shower and a tub.

Destination Profile

Antigua

Antigua is the larger of the two islands that make up Antigua and Barbuda, an English-speaking nation in the Eastern Caribbean's Leeward Islands. The island is reachable by direct flights from several North American and UK gateways into V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU), and its dry season overlaps with the northern hemisphere's winter, making it a straightforward Caribbean option for both first-time visitors and repeat travelers. Antigua's luxury villa market looks different from many other Caribbean destinations. Rather than a broad market of independent, freestanding villas, Antigua's high-end inventory is concentrated in a small number of private-island and gated resort communities, where villa guests are folded into a resort's own staffing and amenity structure. Jumby Bay Island, a private, car-free resort island off Antigua's mainland, is the clearest example and the first area live on this site: villas there are classified as Private Residences, each with dedicated staff, and guests receive resort-wide privileges — dining discounts, water sports, tennis, and children's programming — in addition to whatever comes with the individual property. That structure shapes what an Antigua villa rental actually involves. A booking on Jumby Bay Island, for instance, includes logistics most mainland villa stays don't: a private catamaran transfer arranged through the resort, no vehicle access on the island itself, and a level of staffing and resort infrastructure closer to a private residence club than a conventional rental house. It tends to suit larger, multi-family, or multi-generational groups who want a full-service stay without a hotel room, more than travelers looking for a compact, self-catered getaway. Guests weighing an Antigua luxury villa against a hotel suite are usually comparing square footage and privacy against exactly this kind of built-in resort infrastructure. Antigua's broader identity as a destination is built on its beaches — often described, including by the island's own tourism board, as 365 of them, one for every day of the year — and on a sailing culture centered on English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard, a working 18th-century naval dockyard that became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016. Antigua Sailing Week, held every spring, is one of the Caribbean's best-known yacht racing events, and inland attractions like Devil's Bridge on the island's east coast and the Betty's Hope sugar plantation add historical and natural landmarks beyond the coastline. As Antigua villa rentals on this site expand beyond Jumby Bay Island, later listings will cover other parts of the island, including the English Harbour area and Antigua's north and west coasts, each with its own area page and its own access, staffing, and amenity profile rather than one generic description applied island-wide. For now, Jumby Bay Island represents the fullest expression of what an Antigua luxury villa rental looks like: private, staffed, and built around a resort infrastructure that most standalone Caribbean villas don't have. Travelers comparing Antigua to other Leeward Islands destinations should expect that difference to shape the whole trip, not just the property — from how guests arrive, to what's included once they do.
