A small, low-lying coral island, Anguilla is entirely unspoiled and offers unrivalled ocean views with romantic sunset vistas. Fringed by shimmering white sands, shaded by coconut palms and filled with colourful breezy beach bars, this delightful island is a Caribbean dream.
A long, flat and slender coral island lying lazily in the eastern Caribbean, with more than 30 fantastic beaches and several world-class snorkelling spots.
Standout beaches include the powder-white sands of Shoal Bay East, magical Meads Bay between Malliouhana and the Four Seasons, and Maundays Bay, home to Cap Jaluca, A Belmond Hotel.
A definite foodie favourite, with over 100 restaurants offering exquisite fine dining, casual beach BBQs and everything in between.
Carnival week in August is noted for its parties and boat races, in which the locals race special wooden sloops made here on the island.
