History

An ancient coral reef first discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and claimed by the British in 1632, Jumby Bay Island takes its name from -jumbie," Antiguan colloquial for -playful spirit." Inspired by the sands of Jumby Bay Island, quiet beiges and cream blend together with the attenuated lines of British Colonial furnishings for an understated look that embodies residential sophistication.
