Ask us about this hotel
anguilla
Anguilla is flat, dry and ringed with some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. There are no cruise ship piers, no high-rises and no casinos, which is exactly why people keep coming back.
Days revolve around the sea and the table. Shoal Bay, Meads Bay and Maundays Bay are as good as beaches get, and for an island of around 15,000 people the food scene is remarkable, from beach barbecues to serious fine dining.
where to go
A long curve of powdery sand with calm water and reef snorkelling.
Sunset-facing beach lined with some of the island's best hotels.
A perfect half-moon of sand with views across to St Martin.
A mile and a half of beach, home to the Dune Preserve bar.
The old harbour village, busy with bars and boats in the evening.
Uninhabited cays for a day of snorkelling and grilled lobster.
when to go
Anguilla is warm all year, with the driest weather from December to April.
December to April
Dry, breezy and sunny. The busiest season, especially over Christmas and Easter.
May to July
Hotter and calmer, with lower prices. August brings the Summer Festival and its boat races.
August to October
The wettest months and the highest risk of storms. Quiet and good value, though some hotels close for a few weeks.
