Andrew Michelin of Keyonna Beach, Antigua

Launches Visiting UK Chef Programme

January 2016- Keyonna Beach, the adults-only resort located on Antigua's South-Western coastline, set on Turner's Beach, a stunning long white beach, has an amazing epicurean treat in store for its guests. Andrew Michelin owner of the resort will be flying over a total of seven top chefs, to share their culinary expertise with the resort's team of chefs. The programme set to commence later this month, will be staggered over a number of months, with guests having their meals prepared by chefs who bring a range of amazing experience, some with Michelin-star experience!

Kicking off the initiative will beWilliam Curley, the renowned Patissier and Chocolatier who will be leaving his Belgravia and Harrods boutiques to spend time training the chefs on how to create the amazing deserts he's renowned for. Former Roux Scholarship and National Chef of the Year winnerFrederick Forstercurrently executive chef at Le Pont de la Tour Restaurant, will follow. 

Guest feedback is always very complimentary, a glance at Tripadvisor will tell you just that, but being a big foodie and with a name like Michelin, Andrew is constantly aiming to improve the standards, especially in the food & wine department. Although a stunning island, the reality is Antigua is a small island, skills are often in short supply, but what Antigua lacks in skills, it makes up for in enthusiasm, so Andrew came up with the idea of flying over a group of chefs that would help coach and give the team direction. "I want guests to have the very best Antiguan experience with amazing food and fine wines. Too often Caribbean resorts let themselves down with the food offering. We serve very good cuisine, with excellent branded wines paired with dishes at dinner, and we have some of the best ingredients to choose from, so I want guests to be totally blown away by the food and wine!"    

Not trying to compete with the five-star resort model, Michelin's Keyonna Beach is what he likes to call a pop-up boutique resort on the beach, oozing charm and personality. Warm, stylish and intimate, Keyonna Beach offers guests the ultimate Caribbean resort experience, but without the hefty five-star price-tag!

24 cottages and beachfront rooms provide spacious accommodation, all with magnificent beach settings, offering undisturbed privacy - ideal for the couples to relax and unwind. While in addition to the most romantic of settings, intuitive staff caters to every whim, ensuring a simply unforgettable holiday from beginning to end.

Prices start from US$500 (£342) per night for a Beach House Room;or US$850 (£582) for a Beach Front Plunge Pool Cottage, per night, per room, based on double occupancy andinclude all meals and alcoholic beverages per night.
