Elite Island Resorts  Group will become a beachside broadcast hub for 2014 FIFA World Cup matches, throughout June 2014.  Capitalising on the favourable time zone, meaning matches will broadcast with only an hour delay, all Elite Island Resort locations will screen key matches: Antigua (St. James Club & Villas, Veranda Resort & Spa, Galley Bay Resort & Spa), St Lucia (St James’s Club Morgan Bay),Barbados (The Club Barbados Resort & Spa), Grenadines (Palm Island Resort) & BVI (Long Bay Beach Club).

Paula Whitehead, European MD, Elite Island Resorts said “ We wanted to make sure that our guests didn’t have to choose between their guaranteed Summer sunshine fix and the big games in the tournament, so all our resorts will show the key games.  Given England have the challenging Group D to contend with, our resorts are the perfect stress buster location to watch, offering half time pool/sea dips, spa treatments, nerve calming cocktails and great food.” She added: “We’ll ensure we have extra stress busting spa team members on duty for the Italy vs. England Game on June 14th! ”

The media lounges at all resorts will have a schedule of match fixtures so thatguests can plan their football fixtures around their holiday…and those less in love with the beautiful game can plan game avoiding watersports and sunbathing.
