Where To Stay In Anguilla
Anguilla is a tiny beautiful Caribbean island gem that, for a long time, has flown under the radar, since up until THIS year, there were no direct commercial flights onto the island. You used to either have to have a private jet or boat over from a nearby island like St. Maarten. But this year, American Airlines started a new route direct from Miami, changing the game, and making Anguilla a lot more accessible from the USA. Anguilla is home to some of the most luxury resorts and arguably some of the best upscale dining in all of the Caribbean! And, while you can definitely find lavish luxury here, the island still feels authentic and is known to have some of the friendliest locals! The cruise ship embargo keeps this island from becoming overrun by tourists, enabling it to keep its private and exclusive vibe going. This destination is perfect for foodies wanting a castaway-esque Caribbean escape, or beach loving honeymooners looking for a luxury experience. Now that I’ve reeled you in, let’s talk about the real selling point, the accommodation!
The Best Luxury Hotels in Anguilla
Belmond Cap Juluca
White-washed Spanish style architecture set against bright blue water will immediately give you all the Mediterranean vibes. Every room comes with two plush beach lounge chairs with an intercom system attached to the seats to allow you to communicate your every want and need without interrupting your daily ocean views. Talk about luxury. With four on-site dining options, this hotel focuses on quality local ingredients, most of which they source from their own greenhouses. For the ultimate luxury experience, go with the signature Jonquil Suite, which has its own infinity pool, an ocean-front Jacuzzi and two bathrooms each with a hot tub (honeymoon goals).
Malliouhana, an Auberge Resort
Originally built in the 1980’s, this newly renovated hotel blends modern luxury with classic Caribbean architecture. Sprawled out on the rocky cliffs overlooking the shores of Turtle and Meads Bay, you’ll have private access to their two pools, spa, three onsite restaurants and long stretches of Caribbean beach. With complimentary bicycles and plenty of all-inclusive packages, this is a great home base for exploring all Anguilla has to offer.
