Restaurants
Part of the joy of staying at Galley Bay is dining at the two alfresco restaurants.
The Sea Grape restaurant is open for all three meals daily. Warm, friendly service by the outstanding wait staff will make you feel right at home. Be sure to join in the festivities at the weekly Caribbean barbecue, when the gentle sound of the waves and live steel-drum music accompany your meal.
The romance continues at Gauguin. Here, you'll dine in a cabana for two by flickering candlelight among the palm trees, literally steps from the sea, with only a thatched roof between you and the evening sky. The varied menu, which changes daily, blends the cuisines of the West Indies, the Pacific Rim and Europe.
Try the beachfront restaurant Ismay's Restaurant & Bar - a stunning timber building situated at the southern end of the ¾ mile white sand beach adjacent to the beautiful shell bay. Menu offers guests the best of islands local flavours with everything from classic west indian "roti" to seafood gumbo and the classic rastafarian dish "ital". Open for dinner 7 days a week. There is a surcharge per person.

Lounges & Bars

The TeePee Bar is a popular gathering spot where guests enjoy each other's company and spectacular sea views, both day and night. The Lounge Bar, which is open from lunchtime onward, is a fine place to enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in a comfortable, social setting, and enjoy live nightly entertainment.

Activities
BeachSwim / snorkel: At Galley Bay, the beach is never far away. Just a few steps from your room, the three-quarter-mile-long beach is the perfect place for a cooling swim or an invigorating beach walk. If you've always wanted to explore the under-sea world, this is the time. Snorkeling equipment and caring instruction is complimentary at Galley Bay. If you prefer your water flat, not fizzy, the free-form pool and its distinctive waterfall provide ample space to practice your strokes, and plenty of deck space and chaise lounges for reclining, reading, and soaking up the sun.

Fitness: There's no reason to take a vacation from your exercise regiment while you're at Galley Bay. Free weights and cardio equipment let you keep up your routine - or start a new one - in the comfort of the air-conditioned Fitness Center. You can also maintain your aerobic conditioning with a run on the jogging track or along the three-quarter-mile beachfront.

BeachSea sports: On Galley Bay's beautiful, three-quarter-mile crescent of sand, the inviting sea is a fantastic natural playground for a host of non-motorized water sports. Try your hand at sailing a Sunfish for a remarkable view of the coast from offshore. You can ply the waters in a sea kayak and navigate the waves as you explore the extreme, rocky reaches of the beautiful cove. You'll enjoy the view - and you'll likely be viewed as you make your way up and down the shore - by the celebrity neighbors whose elaborate homes overlook Galley Bay. For a real workout, you can make the most of the breezes with a windsurfing experience, and if you're new to the sport, the able staff is more than happy to help you find your feet and teach you the ins and outs of the equipment. To truly take to the seas, there's nothing like sailing aboard a catamaran, and the Hobie - style boats are at your disposal during your stay. You'll find that the azure waters off Galley Bay boast a wide range of indigenous sea life; more than 70 species of fish make their homes in the sea surrounding Antigua.

Land sports: On land, you can partake of a wide array of sports and pastimes. Galley Bay features an Astro-Turf tennis court for daytime play. To put a new spin on your game, join one of their clinics or ask them to arrange for personal instruction. You can also try your hand at table tennis, or borrow a bicycle for a spin around the property.

Entertainment: No Caribbean experience would be complete without the music of the islands. Galley Bay makes it a point to keep its guests entertained with the best local musicians, who bring island-inflected live music to the resort each night. Steel pan, reggae and island adaptations of classic popular music create a romantic milieu for unforgettably romantic evenings at Galley Bay.
