Jumby Bay: A Collection of Island Delights
Photography and words by Oetker Hotels
Jumby Bay Island has long embodied a spirit of connection, celebration, and togetherness, qualities that shape every moment spent on its shores. This season marks something entirely new for the private island. For the first time, Jumby Bay is introducing a curated Collection of Island Delights, crafted to bring guests even closer to the heart of its community, its waters, and the timeless spirit that defines life there.
Sailing Sensation, the island’s most transformative new journey, reimagines what it means to explore the Caribbean. Private yacht voyages invite guests to experience service at sea with the same ease they enjoy on land, since their estate and villa butler boards with them. Heritage vessels guided by master mariners and days shaped by freedom and open horizon create a quiet form of luxury, one that reflects Jumby Bay’s signature way of caring for guests from villa to vessel. This shift sets the tone for an offering that flows seamlessly across land and sea.
Beyond the barefoot ease and the beauty of island living, what truly sets this collection apart is the way each delight deepens connection: between people, between land and water, and between moments that linger long after they have passed. Thoughtful and soulful, these delights invite guests to see Jumby Bay through a more intimate lens, one of discovery, warmth, and shared wonder.
Together, these five delights shape the foundation of the collection:
Sailing Sensation
Designed through two tailored programs, one for intimate families and another for multigenerational groups, this sailing chapter offers rare customization at sea. Guests enjoy private-chef dining, master-mariner instruction, flexible anchorage points, and unlimited water activities woven into each day. Aboard the replica Atlantic, with its 1905 racing heritage, or the finely crafted Windrose of Amsterdam, the journey balances exclusivity and freedom, with only 107 seasonal sailing days inviting a deeper, more immersive way to experience Antigua and Barbuda.
Giovanni’s Eden Roc Cap d’Antibes Pop-Up
For one month, The Veranda becomes a meeting place between Riviera tradition and Caribbean warmth. Giovanni brings his iconic craft to the island: hand-stretched pizzas, fresh pastas, and Mediterranean flavors shaped by fire and memory. It is a celebration of food, family, and the joy of gathering under sunlit skies and starlit evenings.
Coral Reef Nursery Exploration
Together with the island’s Marine Biologist and the ELKorn Association, guests descend into a world of underwater renewal. They snorkel through the coral nursery, witness fragile ecosystems regenerating, and plant their own coral fragment. This meaningful act connects each visitor to the ocean’s future and to Jumby Bay’s ongoing conservation story.
Picnic & Island Xeriscaping Journey
Guests bike across landscapes rich with island lore, guided by the resident horticulturist. Winding trails lead through lush flora, hidden gardens, and quiet ponds until the path opens to a secluded beach. Here, a Champagne sea picnic awaits, featuring fresh lobster, local oysters, and a handwoven raffia set to keep. It is a moment designed for togetherness and the beauty of simply being present.
Romancing the Stars at The Mill
At the top of the iconic Mill, Chef Eustace presents a tasting menu shaped by West Indies romance. Callaloo velouté, spice-crusted snapper, slow-roasted jerk lamb, rum-soaked pineapple, each course shared beneath constellations that make time feel suspended. A dinner that invites connection, conversation, and memories written in starlight.
With this first Collection of Island Delights, Jumby Bay steps into a new era, one defined by shared moments, deeper connection, and experiences crafted with purpose.
