Other activities

• Wine Tasting, Cooking classes & Gastonomy

Wine tasting: Curtain Bluff has one of the finest wine cellars in the Caribbean, with over 25,000 bottles priced between $US 40 and $US 2,000. Over the past year we have expanded our subterranean cellar and added a tasting area so guests can enjoy the wines in context. Tastings take place in the cellar on Friday afternoons ($US 70 per person).

Carribean Cooking Class: Every Tuesday morning our Executive Chef, Christophe Blatz, and his award-winning chefs, Burdette “Eggs” Martin and Mark Smith, lead hands-on cooking classes (limited to 10 people or less). Explaining such culinary creations as lobster risotto or red snapper on a bed of local vegetables in a light reduction broth, the classes cost $US 70 and include lunch and a specially selected bottle of wine from our cellar.

Island Exploration

Just a few minutes by taxi from Curtain Bluff, Nelson’s Dockyard in English Harbour is one of the Caribbean’s finest historic sites. Developed as a base for the British Navy in 1725, during the great age of sail, the dockyard was home base for Britain’s Leeward-Islands fleet under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson, the greatest naval hero in British history. Finally closed in 1889, the dockyard has been completely restored and is now designated as a national park.

If it’s the natural side of Antigua that interests you most, then take an eco-tour with Antigua Paddles, based out of Seatons on the island’s eastern shore. Experienced guides lead you through a half-day filled with kayaking, snorkeling, powerboating and hiking adventures. To get even closer to the local marine life, snorkel Stingray City, a crystal-clear ocean pool protected by its own reef where you can actually swim with the rays.

For an even higher view, take off on a sightseeing tour with Caribbean Helicopters based in the VC Bird International airport. Through the window of your Bell 206 series or Eurocopter AS355, you will see the coastline from deserted offshore islands to the downtown cruise-ship port, and from busy Dickenson Bay to pristine and rugged Half-moon Bay. You can even fly over to nearby Montserrat to look down into the crater of its active volcano and see the charred remains of its now deserted capital city.

Adventure Antigua offers three award-winning, full-day, water-based excursions: “Eli’s Original Eco Tour” and the “Xtreme Circumnav” (on specially-designed power boats); and the “Classic Sailing Tour” on a traditional wooden sloop. All tours have themes of history and ecology; a 5 star rating on Trip Advisor and include snorkelling equipment, lunch and drinks.

The resort’s exceptional facilities include 4 championship hard courts, a fully equipped watersports center (scuba, Windsurfing, paddle-boarding, waterskiing, Hobie Cats and kayaks), a squash court and fitness center. When it’s time to relax, there’s our tranquil spa overlooking the sea, a beachside swimming pool, a beach bar, and hammocks swaying in the shade of coconut palms.

Tennis

Our Tennis Center has four championship hard courts centered around a Pro Tennis shop.

Beaches

Many Caribbean resorts can claim a beautiful beach, but how many have two…totally different in mood and only steps from your room?

All of our rooms run along the back of our Surf Beach, an undulating stretch of golden sand shaded by palms. The less used of our two beaches, it’s ideal for quiet contemplation, playing in the surf, and swinging in a hammock to the rhythm of the waves.At the back of the beach, surrounded by palms, lies the swimming pool with its two lap lanes, the basketball half-court, two courts for bocce and two more for shuffleboard.

Spa

What makes a great spa? Walk down the winding path past the tennis courts and the lily pond and you will soon find out. And when you walk back down that path an hour or two later, something inside you has changed.

Gymnasium & Classes (all included in the room rate)

Aqua Aerobics, Yoga, Pilates and muscle toning

Our tranquil and intimate 5,000-square-foot spa sits apart from the rest of the resort just feet from the sea. All four treatment rooms have wide-open views over the water to distant Montserrat, Cades Reef, St. Kitts, Nevis and Redonda. Before their treatments, guests sit outside sipping tea brewed from herbs fresh picked from the spa's own garden. Afterwards, they relax on the open verandah, sitting in the Jacuzzi on the cliff edge and snacking on "Spa Bites" like steamed asparagus, fruit and vegetable kebabs.

Kids Club

The CEEBEE KIDS CLUB, that is. Curtain Bluff has launched its first full-time kids camp so our younger guests can make friends and experience the resort on their own terms. Run by a capable and creative team, it's free and available five days a week

Restaurants & Wine Cellar

Curtain Bluff’s award-winning culinary team is led by our French-born Executive Chef, Christophe Blatz. Prior to working at Curtain Bluff, Christophe trained under such notable chefs as Alain Ducasse and cooked in some of the finest Michelin star-rated kitchens in France, including Les Ambassadeurs Restaurant in the Hotel du Crillon in Paris. Curtain Bluff keeps one of the finest cellars in the Caribbean, stocked with over 400 carefully selected wines from 10 countries, all priced between $US 50 and $US 2,000.
