Blue Waters Hotel, located in Soldiers Bay, Antigua, was first opened in 1960 as The Blue Waters Beach Hotel by Osmond Kelsick, a Royal Air Force airman noted as the only Antiguan squadron leader in World War II.

The hotel opened with just 16 rooms however by 1984 the property had grown to 45 rooms and was sold to British businessman Ronald Randall.

Blue Waters is situated on three secluded beaches in Soldiers Bay, a small cove known for its calm waters. The hotel is approximately 7.5 km by road from the capital of St Johns and approximately 12 km from V. C. Bird International Airport.

The resort features 3 restaurants, serving a mix of local and international cuisine. The property also holds a wedding licence, allowing ceremonies to take place within the grounds.

In 1995 the hotel was severely damaged by Hurricane Luis and was closed to undergo extensive refurbishment costing $9 million. The hotel re-opened in November 1998.
