A gorgeous colonial-style residence, Morning Glory sits on eight private acres of lush, tropical gardens and is ideal for parties large and small.

Dining

Options are varied, interesting and of high standard. The Estate House is the resort’s main restaurant. This former plantation house was once the centrepiece of the island’s sugar plantation, and reopened in November 2016 following a one-year, six-million-dollar restoration. The new Estate House includes a main restaurant and the 1830 Bar with three new private dining rooms as well as a wine room all inspired by the home’s rich history and island traditions. Other options range from an open-air restaurant to a casual beach shack for toes-in-the-sand dining and beach bar.

Highlights

Antigua Sailing Week: expect to see English Harbour speckled with sailboats of every kind as spectators from around the world come to follow the races and soak up the party spirit. Insider tip: come a week early to catch the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta, which each year kicks off the sailing season with a spectacle of tall, elegant sail ships from a bygone era, many of them from the early 1900s.

Private yacht charter

For the ultimate in private sea excursions, guests can charter the resort’s luxury yacht, “Yennecot” a 45-foot custom-built catamaran that comes with Jumby Bay’s own certified crew, trained to US Coast Guard safety standards.

Stingray City

An interactive eco-tour where guests can swim and play with Southern Stingrays in a safe and controlled environment. Located in the calm waters of Mercers Creek Bay, the secure Stingray Habitat, just 15 minute from Jumby Bay’s dock, is a natural home to more than 30 Southern Stingrays as well as countless colourful tropical fish and stunning species of corals. With waters shallow enough for visitors to stand up in, guests can explore marine life to their heart’s content. No experience is needed; guests do not even need to be able to swim to participate.
