The Villas at Sunset Lane is an intimate Black woman-owned, adults-only boutique hotel overlooking Antigua’s picturesque Dickenson Bay. Set within a quiet hillside neighborhood near St. John’s, the property offers personalized hospitality, Caribbean-inspired dining and a peaceful alternative to Antigua’s large beachfront resorts.
The hotel features just 10 individually designed accommodations, including deluxe rooms, spacious premium suites and two-bedroom poolside villas with full kitchens.
The Villas at Sunset Lane offers the personal atmosphere of a bed-and-breakfast with the accommodations and amenities of a boutique hotel. Its small size allows guests to receive individualized attention from Jackie and her hospitality team.
The quiet adults-only setting is well suited to couples, friends and solo travellers seeking relaxation away from Antigua’s larger all-inclusive resorts. Guests remain within convenient reach of Dickenson Bay Beach, St. John’s, restaurants, shopping and V.C. Bird International Airport.
The Villas at Sunset Lane is owned and managed by Antiguan hotelier and executive chef Jacqueline “Jackie” Cort-Thomas.
After working as a tax accountant in corporate America, Jackie followed her passion for Caribbean food and trained professionally as a chef. An internship at the W Hotel in New York helped inspire her transition into hospitality and the creation of her own boutique property in Antigua.
The Villas opened in 2008 and has grown into a distinctive Black woman-owned hotel where accommodations, food and personalized service reflect Jackie’s Antiguan heritage. Her Caribbean-fusion menus draw upon local farmers, fishermen and regional culinary traditions.
A complimentary continental breakfast with seasonal fruit, toast, tea or coffee is included with standard reservations. A cooked breakfast is available for an additional charge.
Dinner is currently served on selected evenings and must be ordered in advance. The property is not a conventional year-round all-inclusive resort, although it periodically offers curated all-inclusive wellness retreats and special packages.
