Exquisite accommodation, first-rate services and sublime views across a regular ‘world’s best beach’ nominee: Just a fraction of what Moon Gate Hotel & Spa has to offer.

A beach for every day of the year

welcome to Antigua & Barbuda

Located in the heart of the Eastern Caribbean, Antigua & Barbuda has retained a wonderfully authentic charm without sacrificing first world amenities. This sun-soaked English-speaking country is flanked by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea to the west and the rugged Atlantic Ocean on the east. It boasts a beach for every day of the year and a plethora of activities to satisfy its diverse visitors.

Antigua & Barbuda

The twin island nation has been independent from Britain since 1981, is home to approximately 100,000 people and is largely a service-based economy with tourism as its economic mainstay. As a regional hub, Antigua is easily accessible with daily direct flights from Canada, Europe, the UK and USA.

Ever-increasing numbers of both tourists and investors are testament to Antigua & Barbuda’s welcoming climes. With a thriving property rental market equating to excellent financial returns, the country continues to attract those looking for a second home and a safe place in which to invest.

Peak tourist season is from November to May with most vacationers hailing from North America, Europe and the UK. Antigua’s status as a sailing capital is

well documented but this friendly isle also offers an abundance of watersports, well-maintained hiking trails, first-rate resorts, restaurants and spas, and intriguing historical spots like Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A large expat community has done nothing to dilute the country’s vibrant culture, epitomised in the annual carnival which turns the streets of St. John’s into a kaleidoscope of colour each summer.

Committed to sustainable luxury . . .

by caring for our Earth

Moon Gate Antigua's sustainability is key, and evidenced in its green infrastructure, eco-landscaping and support for local businesses. The development is of a compact design, retaining much of the area’s existing vegetation.

Eco-friendly, with an instilled sense of responsibility . . .

another tropical day at Half Moon Bay

From the central solar water heating system to rooftop solar photovoltaic panels to generate electricity during daylight, the resort makes expert use of Antigua’s bountiful sunshine. Rain water will be captured to fill cisterns while all waste water will be recycled into ‘grey water’ for use in landscaping and to irrigate the kitchen gardens.

The common area roof spaces at Moon Gate will be flat to create ‘live roofs’. Not only will this help the development blend into its natural background, they will also be used to grow fresh produce for the restaurant.

Natural beauty products will be used throughout the hotel and spa. Selected items will be hand-crafted by local artisans using natural ingredients like aloe, honey and sulphur clay.

With low-energy light bulbs, high efficiency air-conditioning and eco-friendly laundry detergents, Moon Gate will keep its carbon footprint to a minimum.
