From the Isle of Wight to an island off Antigua, The Hut is moving west. Hidden away on its very own private island and surrounded by stunning scenery, The Hut, Little Jumby will combine relaxed dining with The Hut’s trademark vibrant rhythm, to bring something truly exciting to the Caribbean. Set to open in November 2024, The Hut, Little Jumby, will be the Caribbean’s most sought-after Private Island Beach Club and Restaurant. It will be located off Antigua’s north coast, between the mainland and its sister island, Jumby Bay Island, an Oetker Collection managed private island spanning 300 secluded acres and home to 4.5 miles of pristine shoreline. Similar to the group’s celebrated Isle of Wight hotspot, The Hut, Little Jumby, will offer an unrivalled guest experience, an unparalleled setting and exceptional food, alongside a vibrant yet casual atmosphere. Following a short ferry or private boat ride, guests will be met by The Hut team on the private jetty in anticipation of a day spent on the stunning white sands of Little Jumby. Whether it be long, leisurely lunches aside the Caribbean Sea, chilled out dinners overlooking the incredible Antiguan sunset, or fully-charged weekend lunches, guests and residents alike can expect an unforgettable dining experience at The Hut, Little Jumby. The restaurant offers a chilled out space for long lunches and magical dinners. With mesmerising views of turquoise waters and palm trees at every turn, simple, rustic wooden interior design to echo the relaxed island location, and colourful plates of fresh seafood, there is truly no better place to dine in the Caribbean. Those seeking to chill out in their own private hang out will have the opportunity to rent their very own Cabana or Beach Hut, set across two of Little Jumby’s white sandy beaches. Perfect for couples, the South Beach plays host to The Cabanas, which will provide two sunbeds, shaded beneath a pergola-style roof and will offer striking views of the glistening coastline. On the North Beach, more substantial Beach Huts, available for groups between four and 10 guests, will provide a cool and intimate sanctuary and will feature a bar area, comfortable sofas, sunbeds and ceiling fans to cool off. Those renting a Cabana or Beach Hut will have the option to saunter up to the restaurant for long lunches throughout the day and relaxing dinners come evening, before retreating to their cool, private hideaways as they wish.

Dishes on the menu will include Barbudan Lobster, Snapper, Grouper, Fish Curry and Black Pineapple.
