Set on 300 acres of beachfront in Antigua and Barbuda, the Oetker Collection's Jumby Bay Island is set to unveil the latest in its cast of nautical-inspired suites, with 12 brand-new Ocean View Suites making their debut this December. Combining the styles of both contemporary and traditional beach houses, the new suites have lofty ceilings, wide verandas and open-air bathrooms.
Studio IDC wanted to create a seating and dining area that did not feel traditional, so there is a custom rattan banquette for a family dinner or night of board games with friends, with the space further highlighted by a framed wallcovering. The entertaining spaces are appointed with all family conveniences, with large under-counter refrigeration, drawer microwaves, counter stools for dining, and all the comforts for an early breakfast with the children, as well as a well-equipped kitchen where a private chef can be called upon to whip up the meals. Outside, there is lounge seating and a dining area with chaise lounges and sun umbrellas.
The new high-spec suites have been intentionally created to be adapted to families and groups of differing sizes. Two-bedroom Family Suites, complete with their own private pools, offer one master King bedroom and a second bedroom with two Queen beds. They have a cobalt blue wall, curated tropical art, and a nautically inspired playful headboard. Tip: A Junior Suite can be occupied independently or adjoined to a Family Suite as a third bedroom, providing flexibility for families or groups. Junior Suites also come complete with a hospitality bar and a delicate, yet comfortable settee for dining or light work with a tea-height table.
A Jumby Bay signature is that each suite has its own al fresco bathtub and garden shower to create a spa-like atmosphere. Showers have a custom tile pattern in an ombré of the ocean-blue color palette, to create flow throughout the entire space. There is an outdoor bathing Eden, while the indoor bathroom also has large vanities and rain head showers. Just steps from the island’s private beaches, the new Junior Suites and Family Suites offer uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. For those with a taste for adventure, they are located just a five-minute stroll from the nearby Jumby Bay Watersports Centre, where a host of water-based activities are waiting to be enjoyed such as paddle boarding, windsurfing, and sailing, to name a few.
