Bolans

Travel Guide
Valley Church Beach showing a beach, general coastal views and tropical scenes
Set back from Antigua’s dazzling southwestern coast, this community is bound by forested hills and has easy access to restaurants and beautiful beaches.

Escape into Antigua’s lush greenery in Bolans, a town in the island’s Saint Mary region. Pretty hillsides veiled by tropical greenery surround the township on three sides, while soft white sands and cerulean-blue waters beckon to the west. Find your own idyllic corner in Bolans, where you can relax in boutique accommodations, explore awe-inspiring beaches or pursue an exciting adventure. Check out the leafy neighborhood and stroll along promenades lined with palm trees.

To the west, explore the Jolly Harbour Marina complex and admire its collection of luxury boats and yachts. Shop here or sit down for a meal or snack. Book a sightseeing cruise or a snorkeling tour. You’ll see glimmering schools of tropical fish in the bay’s clear waters. Rent watersports equipment and travel to one of the exquisite beaches framing the island’s western edge.

Lignum Vitae Bay is a breathtaking stretch of coast along Jolly Harbour. Find a shady spot beneath the trees along Valley Church Beach. Dig your toes into powdery sand and look out toward the hypnotic blue horizon. Local fishing boats pass by, sending ripples across the sheltered bay. Go for a swim and enjoy the invitingly warm waters. To the south, Darkwood Beach is renowned for its snorkeling sites and lively beachside bar. Take a break from the beach and head to the golf course for a round with friends.

While in Bolans, treat yourself to delicious food in local restaurants. Fresh seafood and tropical fruit are the star flavors in Caribbean cuisine. Relax at beachside bars and sip cocktails while looking out over gorgeous sunset views.

Bolans’ nearest airport is Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport, which is 9 miles (15 kilometers) northeast of the town. Bolans has a range of resorts and hotels. Stay in deluxe resort accommodations and pamper yourself with a spa treatment or enjoy a retreat in a rustic beachside villa.
