Beach Access Sea view, set back from the water

— Martlets is perched above Jumby Bay Island's east coast, surrounded by tropical gardens, with sea views from its verandas, sea view pergola, and rooftop tower lounge. It is not a beachfront property: the island's beaches are reached by golf cart or bicycle. As with all Jumby Bay Island private estates, guests also have access to the resort's shared pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness centre, and wellness pavilion, and the island itself is reached by a private ferry crossing from Antigua's mainland.

About this Property

Martlets in Jumby Bay Island

Martlets — interior and outdoor living spaces

00 — Overview

Martlets is a seven-bedroom private villa set on the southeastern edge of Jumby Bay Island, Antigua, spanning over 14,000 sq ft with sea views over the Atlantic. The villa accommodates up to 14 guests across seven air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms, with a private freshwater pool, a flood-lit tennis court, a basketball court, and a rooftop tower lounge. Four al fresco dining areas and a sea view pergola add to the estate’s outdoor living space. Martlets is staffed with a private chef, butler, housekeeper, houseman, and gardener.

Martlets is one of 20 Jumby Bay Island villas in our portfolio. For transfers, seasons and how the island works, see our guide to Antigua villa rentals.

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.
