Curtain Bluff will reopen for its 59th season, following a temporary closure, and again begin welcoming guests back to an idyllic haven beginning October 24, 2020. Antigua’s most iconic resort has become a home away from home for travelers for nearly 60 years. The resort is primed to begin welcoming guests seeking a long-awaited respite in paradise with the relaxed luxury, British Colonial design, and utmost service for which Curtain Bluff has come to be known.
“We are so excited to reopen our doors to our Curtain Bluff family and all those new guests looking for a safe getaway,” said Rob Sherman, managing director at Curtain Bluff. “Our resort is naturally designed to provide both a spatially distant and open-air experience for guests, an example being that every room is beachfront and open to warm Caribbean trade winds, making the use of air conditioning unnecessary. However, during the temporary closure, we worked to ensure we could safely and responsibly reopen by implementing new protocols and cleaning technologies. We take this new challenge very seriously and will be diligent in our actions to service all of our guests responsibly while providing them with our famous, friendly service.”

All offers still provide regular property inclusions such as daily meals, drinks, select activities and VIP airport transfer. Deemed as one of the most socially distant sports one could play right now, tennis lovers can rejoice to know that Curtain Bluff will still host its annual week-long tennis event filled with legendary pros, insightful lessons, and nonstop matches. The 22nd annual Curtain Bluff Tennis Challenge will be held on November 7-14. An overview of the entire week’s activities can be read here.
In addition to tennis, Curtain Bluff provides an endless supply of spatially distant activities for guests such as Bocce ball, shuffleboard, pickleball, table tennis, and access to its two beaches. The scheduling of the resorts yoga classes and snorkeling and diving trips has been thoughtfully curated to allow for deep sanitization. The same added safety measures will be implemented with the use of all other beach toys, such as kayaks, Hobi cats, paddleboards and water bikes. Parents can enjoy such activities while their children participate in cultural and educational programs at the CeeBee Kids Club with two daily sessions in an open-air pavilion building.
