Things to Do

Embrace the tropical vibe of the Caribbean with island-inspired live music, enriching activities and events. Evenings at Galley Bay Resort & Spa are infused with an enchanting mix of steel-drum rhythms, reggae beats and popular tunes performed by talented local musicians. When not swaying to the music, you might mingle at a cocktail party, please your palate at a special barbecue, join a cooking demonstration, tour the resort’s gardens or catch a movie under the stars.

Cocktail Party

Meet our general manager and get to know our staff at our weekly Manager’s Cocktail Party. Sip a refreshing cocktail and sample delicious hors d’oeuvres amid tropical sea breezes as you mingle with fellow guests.

Caribbean Barbecue

Our weekly Caribbean barbecue lets you indulge in an array of island flavors as you savor salads, fresh vegetables and such barbecue favorites as spare ribs, steak, local kingfish and chicken.

The Garden Tour

Tuesday morning’s garden tour spotlights our resort’s many flowers, plants and wildlife. This fun learning experience includes a look at the source of our farm-to-table cuisine, the on-site vegetable and herb garden.

Cooking Demo

Join our cooking demonstration and take home the tastes of the Caribbean. Let our chefs share some of their favorite recipes and cooking techniques, and let you sample the delicious dish you learn to make.

Movie Night

On Movie Night, pick your spot on our beautiful beach, sit back, relax and watch a great film under twinkling stars, as the surf rolls in. Personal headsets ensure this silent movie experience does not disturb others.

Shopping

Known for its sun-kissed beaches, Antigua is also home to great shopping options. You can satisfy your need for some retail therapy right here at Galley Bay’s own duty-free Gift Shop. Visit our well-stocked boutique to find the perfect vacation memento, or peruse fine jewelry at our on-site Diamonds International® store.

Rum Tasting

The evening begins with a walk-through of the extensive selection of local and international rums. Guided by our rum-ologist, our guests will learn about the rare blends and vintage rums from the region whilst seeing, smelling, and tasting the aromas that come out of the glass. The Rum Shack design pays homage to the local culture and uses reclaimed wood, and galvanized roof materials.
