Nature around you
Jumby Bay is one of the Caribbean’s most thoughtfully preserved private paradises. Here, nature is honored and is an unmistakable part of Jumby’s charm. The homeowners have made it their mission to ensure Jumby’s natural splendor is respected and protected and intertwined into island life. We invite you to pause, experience and appreciate the simple pleasures at your fingertips.
The Jumby Bay Farm
In addition to being home to chickens, farm produce that features in guests’ dishes includes peppers, cucumbers, beans, watermelons, lettuce, tomatoes, kale, spinach and aubergines, as well as herbs. The Jumby Bay Farm was envisioned by the homeowners as a space that is not only practical but also offers a tranquil and picturesque place for all to enjoy. Enjoy a guided tour or explore on your own.
Jumby Bay is home to a protected and cultivated flock of sheep that has inhabited the island for over 400 years. The short-coated, black-and-white Persian breed is much larger in size and stature than the sheep found on mainland Antigua. They can be seen grazing around the island or pay them a visit at the Jumby Bay Farm, which is also inhabited by a chatty flock of chickens and red-footed tortoise.
At the heart of the island lies a stunning five-acre waterfowl sanctuary. This undisturbed natural world is home to a rare mix of beautiful tropical birds, including graceful white egrets, playful bananaquits, whistling ducks, hummingbirds and the marvelous blue pelican.
