Swords Travel Lifestyle Magazine Spring / Summer 2025

Just back from... We share with you some of our recent journeys. When it comes to Caribbean escapes, few pairings are as effortlessly glamorous as Antigua and St. Barths. I had the privilege of experiencing these two islands in the most spectacular way - on a recent trip with the Oetker Collection, staying at the iconic Jumby Bay Island and Eden Rock-St Barths. A week of indulgence, adventure, and breathtaking scenery, this is island-hopping at its absolute finest… Just a quick hop from the mainland, Jumby Bay Island isn’t your typical ‘fly and flop’ resort; it’s an entire private island paradise, and the magic began the moment I touched down in Antigua. After a brief drive from the airport, I was whisked away on a sleek catamaran to a world where relaxation reigns supreme - no cars, just endless stretches of pristine beaches and an all-inclusive experience that feels tailor-made for you. The Ultimate Caribbean Twin Centre Antigua & St. Barths Jumby Bay Antigua If Jumby Bay Island is all about seclusion, then Eden Rock–St. Barths radiates energy and style. Nestled on the shores of this French Caribbean ‘party island’, the iconic hotel embodies the vibrant spirit of the island - where designer boutiques grace the streets, yachts sail through the turquoise waters, and the dining scene is nothing short of spectacular. I checked into the legendary Villa Rockstar, a six-bedroom masterpiece that has hosted everyone from Hollywood A-listers to world-renowned musicians - and now the Swords Travel team! Complete with a round-the-clock chef and 20-metre pool that could rival any in St. Barths, it’s the kind of place that anyone’s jaw would drop in.
