Elite Island Resorts in Antigua are proud participants in two upcoming episodes of “The Golden Bachelor.” The episodes, filmed across four of the island’s most breathtaking properties, Galley Bay Resort & Spa, Hammock Cove Antigua, Pineapple Beach Club Antigua, and The Verandah Antigua, will feature special dates with The Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens.
The penultimate episode will air on November 5 at 9/8c, and the finale episode will air on November 12 at 8/7c on ABC. Both episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
Mel Owens, the 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, is making his next big play as the second Golden Bachelor. Born and raised in a close-knit Midwestern family in Detroit, Owens’ athleticism shone through from an early age. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he was selected as the ninth overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft by the LA Rams.
Following his retirement from football, Owens transitioned into a career in law and moved to Orange County, California, dedicating himself to helping others – particularly those seeking justice for sports-related injuries. It was during this time that he met his first love, and together they had two sons. While life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his father and the end of his marriage, Owens channeled his energy into being the best father he could be, focusing on raising his sons and coaching their extracurricular sports teams.
Now, after several years as a devoted dad, Owens is rediscovering a love rooted in the simple joys of companionship — sharing life’s everyday moments, making plans for the future, and growing stronger together as a couple. As the Golden Bachelor, he’s eager to meet someone who shares this vision and finally find that perfect teammate he’s been waiting for in his golden years.
As viewers follow Mel’s journey of rediscovery on The Golden Bachelor, Antigua’s most romantic resorts each offer their own charm and allure, setting the stage for love and connection. From the barefoot luxury of Galley Bay Resort & Spa, with its oceanfront rooms, open-air dining, and tranquil lagoon spa, to the elevated elegance of Hammock Cove Antigua, where private plunge pools, gourmet dining, and curated wines define five-star indulgence, each resort embodies a distinct Caribbean experience. Pineapple Beach Club Antigua brings carefree fun with its white-sand beach, vibrant pools, and ocean-view suites, while The Verandah Antigua offers spacious villas, serene beaches, and wellness-focused tranquility. As the season reaches its romantic finale, Elite Island Resorts and Antigua shine as the ultimate backdrop for love stories, both onscreen and off.
