urtain Bluff is a bit of a legend in
international hotel circles. Dating back to
the late 1950’s its phenomenal potential
was noted on an aerial reconnaissance over
southern Antigua by American pilot, Howard
Hulford, who spotted a spectacular beach-flanked
bluff. He liked it so much he built his own private
home here as well as an exclusive hotel with just
enough accommodation for his friends.
Sadly, the familiar figure of the cigar-smoking host
is no longer with us, but thankfully his sublime hotel
endures under the careful ownership of his wife,
Chelle. Indeed, over the decades this clubby
beachfront estate has grown into a world-class 72-
room resort with a two-million-dollar spa, first-rate
sporting facilities and a gorgeous pool to go with its
two gorgeous beaches. And as if this was already a
good thing, pretty much everything is included in
the up-front price!
The true essence of Curtain Bluff is underpinned by
its long-serving team, who extend to their guests a
warm welcome more akin to a personal invitation
to a tropical house party. You may be drawn to
Curtain Bluff for the first time in the belief that you
are staying at a mere 5-star luxury resort but on
returning it will feel like a second home!
Taking inspiration from both classic European and
Caribbean cuisine, guests can savour culinary delights
accompanied by fine wines* both at the courtyard-
style restaurant of the Estate House or at the
Italian-inspireddeck restaurant overlooking thewater.
Languid days & mellow nights
Curtain Bluff, the legendary Caribbean resort that loves to welcome back its guests.
