(LONDON) 7 October 2025 – Conde Nast Traveller today announced the results of its annual Readers` Choice Awards, with Carlisle Bay recognised as the #9 Resort in The Caribbean and The Atlantic and ranking as the top resort in Antigua.

Conde Nast Traveller received more than 182,500 survey responses from readers across the United Kingdom, rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting. The Readers` Choice Awards, with their unparalleled legacy as the travel industry`s longest-running and most prestigious accolades, remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector. The full list of winners can be found here.

 “We are thrilled to receive this recognition from the readers of Conde Nast Traveller at such an exciting time in the history of Carlisle Bay, as we prepare to reopen later this month following the completion of the first phase of our multi-million-dollar refurbishment project,” commented Cara Doherty, part of the ownership group for Carlisle Bay. “We are committed to our vision of offering an authentic island experience, with a seamless blend of Caribbean spirit, warmth, and elegance.”

This first phase will see transformed Bay, Garden, and Ocean Suites with interiors by acclaimed London-based designer, Miminat Shodeinde, available to book when the resort reopens from its annual closure on 16 October 2025.  Designed to capture the golden warmth of the Caribbean sun paired with timeless elegance, the Garden, Ocean, and Bay Suites will reflect a new chapter for the resort.  The full evolution of Carlisle Bay is expected to conclude in November 2027, with all aspects of the luxury resort, including suites, spa, public areas, and restaurants, refreshed and refurbished during its annual seasonal closure periods.   

The 2025 Readers` Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveller`s website at cntraveller.com/inspiration/readers-choice-awards and celebrated in the November issue.
