A History of Anteros Island

“If it’s good enough for the gods…”
-Jay Ramsey, owner of The Royal Capeside Resort

Welcome to a paradise unlike any other in the world. Anteros Island is an adult’s only destination where every wildest dream and fantasy can be fulfilled. Secluded and lush in its secrets, the island is home to some of the most attractive desires you will ever have.

Regarded by native peoples as the consummation grounds of the gods, myth states that the island was formed when a god of rhythm, Joyboy, descended to the sea and drummed up the blood of the immortals. The passion built until they had no choice but to answer his call and give in to their desires. Anteros rose up to catch the power of the gods’ trysts and absorbed the mystical energy that remained. Legend still holds that any item taken from the island will be imbued with the power of a divine sex drive and is considered to be a powerful aphrodisiac.

First permanently settled by Dutch pirates around 1690 (and then known only as Wide Cove Island ), Anteros flourished as a hidden port for infamous buccaneers like William Kidd and Henry Morgan. The island retained its pirate community long after most ports of call had been legalized because of its relative isolation from the rest of the Caribbean . Anteros’ most famous pirate, Captain Marcus Finch, remained an active buccaneer until 1753 when he was finally cornered by British officials in Anteros’ main cove. It was then that he set his ship on fire in a final show of defiance and sank with it to the depths.

The wreckage remains there to this date.

Renamed Anteros in the early 1800’s, the island was viewed by European aristocracy as a new Eden . Despite the bounties of sugar, pearls, and tropical fruit available on Anteros, the island was never converted into a plantation settlement, but instead remained a popular rejuvenation site for travelers. Since then, Anteros has hosted famous diplomats, celebrities, and even royalty and has earned a reputation for indulgence and luxury beyond a man’s wildest imagination.

Anteros has retained its seclusion and pristine beauty throughout the Caribbean ’s history. Covered in untouched jungle and surrounded by crystalline seas, it has become a pinnacle of natural beauty blending with the modern world. The island revitalized in the early ‘90’s thanks to a flourishing cruise market which has brought new and exciting attractions to the Caribbean . But Anteros has not needed to reinvent itself in order to lure guests to paradise.

Now one of the Caribbean ’s must see sights, Anteros offers five star resorts and world class entertainment. An island filled with adventure and luxury, Anteros promises that even the gods would still come here for their pleasures.
