ANTIGUA, WEST INDIES--(Marketwire - March 3, 2010) - Moms spend much of their time looking after everyone else -- be it their husbands, parents, kids, grandkids or even pets -- and leave very little time to take care of themselves. Give the Mom in your life the rare chance to focus on herself with a relaxing, seven-day Caribbean getaway to The Inn at English Harbour on Antigua.
The Inn, ideally situated on 19 acres of wooded headland next to the entrance of the historic town of English Harbour, recently finished a dramatic $1.5 million renovation that brought a fresh face to nearly every corner of the colonial-style resort. Spacious, updated, air-conditioned suites merge with a private beach, quiet walkways, an infinity edge pool and beautifully landscaped gardens to create an ideal setting for mom to pamper herself while marveling at tropical wonders.
Book a five-day stay at The Inn anytime between May 3 and May 14 -- and nights six and seven will be complimentary. Room rates start at $600 a night and include taxes and service charges as well as an English breakfast and three-course dinner.
When you arrive at The Inn, you'll be shown to one of 28 guestrooms. The Inn's two Beach Cabanas sit right on the beach, only steps from the Caribbean, while the 16 junior suites and 8 deluxe junior suites dwell in colonial-style buildings just the right distance from the infinity-edge pool. The elegant suites evoke the grandeur of colonial days, with polished mahogany floors, handsome antiques, tall ceilings and inviting queen-sized beds. Upscale amenities includes a separate toilet and bidet, twin washbasins, a shower of earthy green slate and Penhaligon's fine English toiletries as well as cable TV, direct dial telephones, flat-screen televisions and complimentary WiFi access.
For a truly indulgent experience, moms can add a visit to The Inn's Spa, newly built in 2008. Enjoy a Swedish Massage, which uses long-flowing strokes to soothe muscles, relieve tensions and improve circulation. Or, sign up for The Muscle Melter, a deep-tissue massage that's designed to decrease pain and loosen tight muscles. An adjacent beauty room offers facials, along with mani-pedis, waxing and every kind of hair treatment.
During her stay, Mom can take some time to tour the nearby bustling town of English Harbour and sneak in some shopping. Developed as a base for the British Navy, the harbour served as the fleet headquarters of the Leeward Islands during the late 18th century before gradually being abandoned in the 19th century and then closed in 1889. Today, Nelson's Dockyard has been completely restored, with shops, restaurants, clubs, nature paths, historic sites and more.
