Anguilla. Simply Luxurious
We fell in love with Anguilla on our first visit back in the '90s. Anguilla is the hidden gem of the Caribbean. There are no high rise hotels here, and large cruise ships don’t call into the island – this makes for a relaxed, and relaxing, pace of life. Put that together with the island’s award winning beaches, a collection of world class hotels and the friendly Anguillan people and you have a winning combination. There’s a reason why Hollywood’s A-listers regularly visit Anguilla; it is the perfect island to simply chill.
We love Anguilla and neighbouring St Martin. If you are looking for a truly relaxing holiday where you will be pampered and treated like royalty - then Anguilla is your island!

What to see and do in Anguilla
Beach Life
If you are craving powdery white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and laid-back luxury then Anguilla is the place for you. Anguilla's beaches are among the most beautiful in the world. You can spend your beach time watching the pelican's dive for fish whilst sipping a cocktail and enjoying the balmy island breeze, or spend some time on or in the water.
Away from the beach
When you’ve had your fill of Anguila beach life (if that's possible!), you could indulge in some spa treatments, explore the island on horseback, take a boat trip to Scilly Quay for a lobster lunch, tour the island on a quad bike or perhaps play a round of golf at the Greg Norman designed Aurora International Golf Club.
Anguilla is a foodie heaven, with 5 star restaurants to appeal to every appetite. Whilst you're on Anguilla, make sure to enjoy a sundowner before dinner, maybe at Sandy Ground listening to some live music - evenings don't come much better than this!
Off island
For a change of scene, you could hop on the ferry and pop across to nearby St Martin. An island of two halves; Saint Martin/Sint Maarten is part French, part Dutch. Spend a day soaking up some European vibes in elegantly bustling surrounds and indulge in some duty-free designer shopping.
Travel tip: Anguilla’s small airport is not served by direct flights from the UK. Why not enjoy a few days Stateside on your way to the island, or split your Caribbean holiday between two islands?

Anguilla’s beaches are picture perfect. There are also six nearby islands belonging to Anguilla with equally perfect beaches. Many tour companies offer tours taking you to one or more of these islands for a day of swimming, snorkelling and mouth-watering food.
Scrub Island is the largest of the six, located about 20 minutes away by boat. The island has not been developed and is a great place to get in touch with Anguilla’s wildlife. As well as being home to over 30 species of birds, a trip to Scrub Island gives the opportunity to snorkel with turtles, fish and stingrays.
The ferry takes about 25 minutes from Anguilla to St Martin with departures about every 45 minutes.
The island of St Martin is split in two; one half French (Saint Martin) and the other Dutch (Sint Maarten). The Dutch half is known for its casinos, nightlife and jewelry making. The French side has stunning views, exceptional (high end) shopping and wonderul French Caribbean restaurants.
Once you've had your fill of shopping, you could stop by the Tijon perfumerie and join one of their classes to mix your own perfume. Pre-booking is essential for this. But what an experience!
If you're looking for something more 'back to nature' then pay a visit to Loterie Farm. No, it's not an actual farm! It's an inland oasis of lush tropical jungle with cascading swimming pools, cocktails to die for, a spectacular restaurant and a zip-wire canopy tour for good measure!
And if that's not enough of an adrenalin rush for you, then go stand on Maho Beach and watch the planes come into land at St Maarten's Juliana airport. With only a few yards between the beach and the edge of the runway, this is a spectacular way to go plane spotting!
