DINING EXPERIENCE |
|
Part of the joy of
staying at Galley Bay is dining at our two alfresco
restaurants. Farm-fresh offerings are prepared with care
under the direction of award-winning Executive Chef Andrew
"Stan" Baxter, who carefully melds Caribbean with
Continental into wonderfully original dishes. On the menu,
you'll recognize his distinctive touch in dishes like the
Blue Mountain Coffee-dusted beef tenderloin, served with a
spiced mango Béarnaise, accompanied by sweet potato mille-feuille,
or the cornmeal-crusted yellow-fin tuna and cherry tomato
confit, served with a basil aioli.
The Sea Grape restaurant is open for all three meals daily.
Warm, friendly service by our outstanding wait staff will
make you feel right at home. Be sure to join in the
festivities at our weekly Caribbean barbecue, when the
gentle sound of the waves and live steel-drum music
accompany your meal.
The romance continues at Gauguin. Here, you'll dine in a
cabana for two by flickering candlelight among the palm
trees, literally steps from the sea, with only a thatched
roof between you and the evening sky. The varied menu, which
changes daily, blends the cuisines of the West Indies, the
Pacific Rim and Europe. Enjoy a variety of wines by the
glass with your dinner, perhaps starting with the
curry-scented spinach soup with roasted corn or peppered
yellowfin tuna, followed by pan-fried fillet of butterfish
with sweet chili sauce and stir-fried vegetables. Top off
your meal with fresh-brewed coffee and a sweet surprise,
like the delightfully decadent crème brulee.
Dress Code : In the restaurants, shoes are worn and bathing
suites are covered. After 6:30 p.m., men wear shirts with
collars and short or long sleeves (no T-shirts or tank tops)
and long pants or stylish jeans (no shorts, Capri or 3/4
pants); and women wear dresses, skirts, long pants or
stylish jeans, culottes or in the Summer tailored
Bermuda-length shorts (no "short shorts" or cutoffs).

THE SPA |
|
For the utmost in relaxation and
pampering, we invite guests to explore Indulge, our
beautiful new spa, which made its debut in January 2008.
Indulge is inspired by the distinctive look of our Gauguin
cottages, and is centrally located, adjacent to the calming
waters of our lagoon and surrounding bird sanctuary. The
spacious, multi-level hideaway features three massage areas,
two of which are rustic, open-air treatment "pods". The pods
are rough-hewn, airy massage decks draped with sheer, white
curtains for privacy, and both overlook the bird sanctuary
and lagoon. The second, shaded treatment pod is designed to
accommodate two massage tables, for romantic his-and-hers
treatments, in keeping with Galley Bay's emphasis on
couples.
While we can't guarantee that you'll manage to stay awake
during your relaxing treatments, if you do, you'll enjoy the
wonderful lagoon view, courtesy of mirrors strategically
placed at the base of each massage bed for just this
purpose. The spa also has a second couples room and a third,
air-conditioned private massage room.
Before or after your treatment, you're welcome to unwind and
enjoy the natural surroundings on our third, open-air
relaxation pod. Here at Indulge, you'll also be able to
enjoy the spa pool and surrounding deck, either pre or
post-treatment.
A full range of facials, skincare and therapeutic massage
treatments is available, and you'll be able to mix-and-match
your favorites for a truly relaxing experience that's
tailored just for you. Also new to the spa is a full line of
world-class Pevonia Botanica skincare products, in keeping
with the Indulge spa focus on nature.
Throughout the Indulge spa, we've also kept nature in mind
by using beautiful, rustic materials that complement the
colors and textures found in our Antiguan surroundings.
Throughout the spa, guests enjoy the soothing beiges and
browns of natural wood, the textures of rattan and wicker,
the warm red of terra-cotta planters, and shimmering
splashes of gold, brown and green in sumptuous fabrics, for
a touch of elegance.
In-room treatments can also be provided for guests who
desire the utmost in privacy combined with the best in
spa-style pampering. You can take a bit of indulgence home
with you, as beauty products used during your treatment are
available for purchase, for a luxurious remembrance of
Galley Bay.
