ELITE ISLAND RESORTS LAUNCHES “A LOVE LETTER TO ANTIGUA” CAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE THE BEAUTY OF THE ISLAND | News
This summer, Elite Island Resorts invites travelers and travel professionals alike to explore Antigua through “A Love Letter To Antigua,” a campaign designed to showcase the island’s culture, history and natural beauty beyond the resort experience. The initiative includes inspiring itineraries co-created with content creators, a 360° interactive map of Antigua and cinematic stories highlighting Antigua as a premier summer travel destination.
Elite Island Resorts features a collection of all-inclusive properties in Antigua, each designed to highlight the island’s charm and heritage. From high-altitude adults-only escapes at Galley Bay Resort & Spa and Hammock Cove Antigua to the vibrant beach energy of Pineapple Beach Club Antigua and The Verandah Antigua, and adventures for all ages at St. James’s Club & Villas, each resort combines immersive Caribbean experiences with attentive hospitality. This summer, travelers can take advantage of a special offer at The Verandah Antigua linked to the ‘A Love Letter To Antigua’ campaign, enjoying their 5th night for FREE. This offer expires May 31, 2026, for travel from May 1 to September 30, 2026.
Travel routes and the 360° Antigua map: from inspiration to adventure
Through a new social series, content creators guide audiences in co-creating itineraries at Elite Island Resorts’ Antigua properties, allowing followers to vote, ask questions and participate in polls to design their dream vacation. Each trip highlights the island’s signature attractions, from Nelson’s Dockyard and Devil’s Bridge to Antigua’s rainforest trails and local celebrations, turning inspiration into a real, personalized experience. Complementing these itineraries, the 360° Antigua interactive map lets travelers explore all 365 beaches, natural harbors, cultural sites and hidden gems, with integrated video content and creator recommendations to visualize adventures before traveling. Together, the itineraries and map provide guests with a seamless way to plan, discover and experience the full bounty of Antigua this summer.
As part of its ongoing destination advocacy, Elite Island Resorts also produced a national parks video highlighting Antigua’s protected landscapes, narrated by internationally recognized reggae artist Causion, known as the ‘Reggae Ambassador of Antigua’, further strengthening the company’s commitment to showcasing the island’s distinctive landscapes beyond the resort’s footprint. The film captures breathtaking aerial views of Antigua’s dramatic coastline and natural landmarks, including areas around Devil’s Bridge and the historic landscapes of Nelson’s Dockyard National Park.
Resorts that are rooted in their communities
Across Antigua, the most popular resorts are characterized by a deep commitment to cultural preservation and community involvement. At The Verandah Antigua, the resort strengthens destination independence by producing its own water, beer and on-site nursery, reducing dependence on imports and supporting the wider resort network. Pineapple Beach Club supports literacy programs and school supply initiatives, maintains an on-site turtle sanctuary, and encourages businesses in neighboring villages by showcasing their products on site, including producers of Granma Aki’s hot sauce. Galley Bay Resort & Spa emphasizes education and community impact, sponsoring local schools, providing scholarships and partnering with the University of the West Indies to support workforce development, while also integrating hydroponic gardens, greywater irrigation, glass recycling and partnerships with AB Sea Turtle Awareness to protect local wildlife. These initiatives ensure that every stay across the portfolio reflects the culture, landscapes and traditions of Antigua.
“Antigua is a Caribbean gem like no other, offering a blend of natural beauty, rich history and vibrant culture,” said Kari Tarnowski, Chief Commercial Officer of Elite Island Resorts. “Through our community partnerships, regenerative tourism initiatives, creator-curated itineraries and a new 360° interactive island map, we are creating meaningful ways for travelers to experience Antigua through both the landscape and the distinctive experiences our hotels offer. We want every guest to leave inspired, having discovered the heart of the destination and eager to return.”
“A Love Letter to Antigua” encourages travelers to plan their trip, explore in depth and experience the island like never before. For more information, visit www.eliteislandresorts.com.
