1. Beaches On Your Doorstep

When staying at Tamarind Hills, you have two of the most beautiful beaches in Antigua at your doorstep. Ffryes Beach and Darkwood Beach are located within a very short walk from the villas at Tamarind Hills and both are simply stunning. A beautiful boardwalk runs along the front of the villas leading you to Ffryes Beach.

The furthest villa from Ffryes Beach, Tamarind Villa 3, is just a leisurely 2-3-minute walk from the beach. Sometimes it can take longer, as you will find yourself stopping to take the perfect picture or simply just get lost in the amazing view. Ffryes Beach is perfect for swimming, it has beautiful sand and there is a gentle incline towards the water.

Dennis’ Restaurant is located at the end of Ffryes Beach,  this is a must-visit for lunch or dinner. it is one of our favourite restaurants in Antigua. It can sometimes be crowded with guests from the cruise ships so check out in advance the days they will be there and book on a quieter day.

Darkwood Beach is located on the other side of Tamarind Hills and is about a 6-minute walk away. You must cross the road so bear this in mind when travelling with kids. The road is not very busy, so it is safe to cross and well worth the extra couple of minutes’ walk. It is a beautiful white sandy beach and the water here is as equally as beautiful as Ffryes.

Darkwood is a great option for families with kids. You can rent water sports equipment on the beach and there is also an on-water obstacle course which is sure to provide enjoyment for the kids! While here, you can dine at Darkwood Beach Bar so you don’t have to leave the beach all day!


2. The Views

Tamarind Hills is located on a sunset-facing bluff, meaning the views from the villas are simply stunning. Views in the Caribbean don’t get any better than this. Whether you are enjoying your breakfast outside, relaxing in your private plunge pool or chilling on your hammock in Tamarind Oceans 9, you will always find yourself stopping to take in the amazing views. The ocean in front of Tamarind Hills is so vast, it really is incredible.

In the evening time, you will be sure to get the best sunset pictures or simply sit back, relax and just enjoy it. Whether you are staying for a few days or a couple of weeks, you will never get tired of the unbeatable views at Tamarind Hills.
