GWDGoes2Caribbean

Here we are again to tell you another #TravelWithGWD story with destination Antigua & Tobago, two pure gems of the Caribbeans and Tobago namely home country of Queen Charley.

Having a direct flight from London early in the morning on our way to Tobago, we decided to have a stopover in The City, spending a night in the iconic Hotel Cafe Royal part of The Leading Hotels of The World.
Previously the haunt of famed patrons, from royalty and celebrity to the creative and the notorious, Hotel Café Royal has been an iconic landmark on the British capital’s social scene for over 150 years. Continuing its celebrated legacy of excellent hospitality, the hotel’s grand historic areas have been sensitively restored and the rooms and suites updated in a contemporary yet refined style.
In addition, the hotel’s Akasha Holistic Well-being Gym and Spa features an indoor swimming pool plus spacious facilities for exercise and massage, which are just the beginning. From nutrition to meditation, Reiki to Watsu, you can enjoy treatments, therapies, and training offered at no other London hotel. Located in the heart of the city, with elegant Mayfair to the west and creative Soho to the east, the hotel is perfectly positioned within walking distance of the finest shopping destinations, culinary highlights, and cultural attractions.

During our stopover in London I had the chance to visit Breguet Boutique in London to discover the new Marine timepiece ref. 5527BB/5WV.

I had never been in Antigua before, so we chose to spend a week there and diacover this amazing island.
Antigua is globally recognized for its untouched white sand beaches and cristal clear water (there are more that 300 beaches around the island).

As usual we brought our little drone to capture some amazing shots from above!

For my birthday we decided to do something special, as being in Antigua was not enough, we thus opted to visit Cocobay Resort relax and celebrate!

Cocobay Resort is an All-Inclusive, Adult-only getaway on the sunset side of Antigua. Widely known as Antigua’s most romantic and relaxing resort, Cocobay offers the perfect atmosphere for lovers or discerning travelers looking for unique experiences, barefoot luxury and Island-style wellness.

The resort consists of a colorful collection of pastel cottages crowning a breezy hillside, winding down to two white-sand beaches and miles of turquoise Caribbean Sea. The rustic facilities feature several infinity pools and rugged terraces, blessed with some of the most dramatic ocean views on the island. We enjoyed the Chef’s culinary creations and colorful Cocobay cocktails in the intimate Restaurants and Bars or bespoke, private locations and pop-up dining stations.

A nature-filled aura surrounds Cocobay, and the gorgeous beachfront location, cozy Caribbean cottages, fabulous food and superb service makes Cocobay an irresistible choice for your next Antigua vacation.

This is my second time in Tobago (check our last year reportage), but it already feels like home; I was missing being surrounded by my huge Tobagonian family and chatting, eating and enjoying those unique island vibes.

With love & style Charlene and Fabrizio.
