Anguilla: Travel Made Simple
If you're looking for the perfect island escape—one with secluded beaches, world-class dining, and an effortless luxury vibe—then let me introduce you to Anguilla. This tiny Caribbean gem is the place where time slows down, the water is impossibly blue, and every meal feels like a culinary masterpiece.
A Little Bit About Anguilla
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean, just north of St. Martin and east of Puerto Rico. It’s small—just 16 miles long—but it packs in some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world.
Unlike many Caribbean islands, Anguilla was never overdeveloped for plantations, which helped it retain its natural beauty and laid-back charm. Today, it remains an oasis of tranquility, far from the crowds and cruise ships.
When to Visit?
The best time to visit depends on what you’re looking for:
Peak Season (December–April): Perfect weather, but expect higher prices and more travelers.
Shoulder Season (May–July): Great deals, fewer crowds, and still fantastic weather.
Low Season (August–November): Most budget-friendly, but there’s a higher chance of storms.
Where to Stay: Finding Your Perfect Island Retreat
Whether you're looking for barefoot luxury or a budget-friendly beachside stay, Anguilla has something for everyone.
Luxury Stay: Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel
Cap Juluca is pure island indulgence. With its white Moorish-style villas lining the soft sands of Maundays Bay, it feels like stepping into a dream. After a $121 million renovation, the resort now boasts a stunning infinity pool, oceanfront spa, and impeccable service. Every room has a private terrace with ocean views—because in Anguilla, the sea is always part of the experience.

Mid-Tier Stay: Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club
For luxury at a more accessible price, Aurora Anguilla on Rendezvous Bay is a fantastic choice. It’s home to Anguilla’s only golf course, a world-class spa, and seven diverse dining options that highlight fresh, local ingredients. One of my favorite things about this resort? Their private jet service, which makes getting to paradise even easier.
