Carmichael's

Antigua


The chefs at this fine-dining outpost create a blend of Carib-continental cuisine, to be enjoyed with stunning views from the top of Sugar Ridge Resort. Bring a swimsuit for a sunset dip and cocktail in the infinity pool, then settle into a stylish rattan chair on the wooden deck while waiting for dishes such as Caribbean bouillabaisse and fresh lobster.
