All-Inclusive Hammock Cove Antigua Joins Leading Luxury Travel Network Virtuoso
Hammock Cove Antigua, an Elite Island Resort, is proud to announce its partnership with Virtuoso, the leading global network specializing in luxury and experiential travel. The resort underwent a rigorous vetting process to join Virtuoso’s collection of over 2,200 of the world’s finest luxury hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines, tour operators and other travel entities worldwide.
According to Elite Island Resorts Chairman Robert A. Barrett, inclusion in Virtuoso will present new sales and marketing opportunities to the network’s more than 20,000 luxury travel advisors and their highly desirable clientele. Virtuoso agencies worldwide sell an average of US$25–$30 billion annually, making the network the most significant player in luxury travel.
“Travel advisors have always been at the core of our business—and today, they continue to be the very backbone of our company,” said Barrett. “When I had the idea of creating Hammock Cove, I envisioned a true, luxurious all-inclusive hotel that catered to a very specific demographic. I talked to many travel advisor partners. This product was years in the making. It’s the first hotel in the Elite Island Resorts portfolio to join Virtuoso.
That significance echoes the very ethos that I created here; to be included alongside the company’s roster of respected hotels and to be recognized as a leading luxury resort among our travel industry peers says that we are getting things right, and we can’t wait to welcome their guests.”
Overlooking Antigua’s iconic aquamarine waters and the dramatic coastline of Devil’s Bridge National Park, Hammock Cove features 41 spacious ocean-facing villas in chic, contemporary design with vast indoor-outdoor living plans, private plunge pools, wet bars with a sommelier-curated selection of wines, and other luxury amenities.
