Sugarcane plantations first appeared on the island in 1674 when Christopher Codrington established the first sugar mill named Betty’s Hope, which neighbors The Great House Antigua.

Enjoy the view from The Great House Antigua with its amazing panorama of the Caribbean, a private bay and the island of Guiana. Historically, plantation houses were built on an elevated position to benefit from the breezy coastal winds. Thus, The Great House was built upon a hill overlooking the sea, keeping the property consistently cool and relaxing while affording stunning views.
