Only a few steps from the pool, guests will find an elevated, covered patio, featuring an outdoor dining area with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy a delicious meal and more enchanting island vistas. The patio also features an outdoor lounge with comfortable sofas, where guests can relax in style after an afternoon spent exploring the wonders of the island. The patio wraps around the oceanfront Falmouth House, providing intimate seating areas at various viewpoints, ideal for immersing yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of the harbour.

The outdoor lounge flows seamlessly into Falmouth House's stunning interior space, where guests will find a cool, restful living room with characterful décor inspired by the vibrant hues of the Caribbean. This welcoming space benefits from high, vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams, as well as plenty of relaxed furnishings and homelike touches. The living room leads to a charming dining room, which itself provides access to the fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances, a large island and everything you might need to prepare a wonderful homecooked meal with the fresh local produce you have discovered.

Perfectly positioned overlooking English Harbour, with peaceful green gardens and unparalleled views of the turquoise sea, Falmouth House's elevated location allows for privacy and seclusion within a vibrant location. The silky white sands and dreamlike waters of Pigeon Point Beach are only a five-minute walk away, while English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour both provide a wealth of excellent restaurants. Catherine’s Cafe on Pigeon Point Beach is famous for its delicious French cuisine with a laidback Caribbean twist, while Colibri is a delightful garden restaurant tucked away in English Harbour, offering authentic French and Créole delicacies, as well as amazing cocktails.

Falmouth House was once home to Antigua’s American Consulate and offers exceptional facilities for guests to enjoy. For those who wish to venture a little further afield, the stunning landscapes of Antigua lie waiting to be discovered! With 365 beaches dotted along the island’s coastline, one for each day of the year, you will always be spoiled for choice when it comes to your next dip in the ocean.

Blissful beaches are only the beginning of all that this friendly island has to offer. Only twenty minutes away from Falmouth House on foot, Nelson’s Dockyard National Park is one of five fantastic national parks in Antigua. Listed as a unesco World Heritage site, this eighteenth-century British naval dockyard is an area of great historical significance on the island, as well as a popular venue for maritime events and activities.

Nelson's Dockyard offers visitors plenty of fantastic trekking trails, with breathtaking sights along the way. You might consider visiting Shirley Heights, a restored military lookout with panoramic views and the home of a famous Sunday evening party, where visitors are invited to come and take part in the festivities. Listen to live Caribbean steel drum bands, try some of the local food and rum punch and discover amazing sunset views of the island.

Devil’s Bridge is another Antiguan national park that is sure to make an impression. The bridge itself is a natural arch composed of limestone rock, formed over the course of many thousands of years. With geysers and blowholes surrounding the bridge as the waves of the Atlantic crash against the rocks, this is a bracing adventure that will leave you in awe of the serene beaches you have just left behind.
