American actress and producer Marsai Martin has been spotted vacationing at Hodges Bay Resort & Spa, the luxury property situated along Antigua's north coast. According to Antigua.news, the young Hollywood star shared a series of photos on Instagram documenting her stay at the upscale resort, further cementing Antigua's reputation as a premier destination for high-profile travellers.
Martin's posts showcased the resort's waterfront views and elegantly appointed spaces. She was also photographed alongside staff at Katsuya, the resort's Japanese-inspired restaurant, where she appeared relaxed and in good spirits. Her Instagram captions suggest the trip is more than a routine getaway — Martin is believed to be in Antigua to celebrate her mother's 50th birthday, adding a personal milestone to the visit.
Martin first rose to prominence playing the sharp-witted Diane Johnson on the hit ABC sitcom Black-ish, a role she has held since the show's 2014 debut, when she was just ten years old. Now in her early twenties, she has grown well beyond that breakthrough performance. In 2019, at just 14 years old, she made Hollywood history by becoming the youngest executive producer ever in the industry when she produced and starred in the Universal Pictures comedy Little. The achievement earned her widespread recognition across the entertainment world, and she has since continued building an impressive portfolio both in front of and behind the camera.
Hodges Bay Resort & Spa, managed by hospitality group sbe, is widely regarded as one of Antigua's finest luxury properties. Nestled along a serene stretch of the island's northern coastline, the resort offers guests a blend of Caribbean charm and world-class sophistication, featuring beautifully designed villas and suites, breathtaking waterfront views, a full-service spa, stunning pools, a private marina, and exceptional dining options.
Among the resort's most distinguished offerings is Katsuya, the world-renowned Japanese restaurant concept created by celebrity chef Katsuya Uechi in partnership with hospitality designer Philippe Starck. Known for its inventive approach to traditional Japanese cuisine — blending classic techniques with bold, contemporary flavours — Katsuya operates in some of the world's most glamorous destinations, including Los Angeles, Miami, and Dubai. Its presence at Hodges Bay has significantly elevated the resort's dining profile, drawing both hotel guests and discerning locals.
