Philosophy

Riva sits in a quiet cove on Nonsuch Bay, away from the busy side of the island. The menu follows the seasons and the local catch, with sharing platters that change often, a short list of wines we like to drink ourselves, and real choice for vegetarians and vegans.

Lunch can be quick or last all afternoon; dinner can be easy-going or a little more dressed up. We'd love to know what you think.

Pool

A boho-chic pool deck with daybeds and private cabanas. Relaxed, sometimes lively, and a simple escape from the daily routine.

Boutique

A small boutique with Antiguan designer Miranda Askye: clothes, bags, jewellery and paintings around the club. Every so often, a fashion-show party in the evening.

Beach

A sheltered beach on Antigua's east coast. The reef keeps the water calm and clear, Green Island is just across the bay, and the day is yours: a swim, a paddle or nothing at all.

40 Knots

Our neighbours across the bay on Green Island. 40 Knots teaches kitesurfing, wing foiling and paddleboarding in the flat water behind the reef. Lessons and boat transfers are booked directly with them at 40knots.net.

Soul

The flavours of the Mediterranean and ingredients chosen with care. We cook simply, mixing old recipes with new ideas, with produce from the land and the sea at the centre of the plate.

And at the centre of everything else, you.
