Plan Your Luxury Trip to Anguilla
Apr-2025
Anguilla is known for its beaches, but a luxury trip here goes well beyond the sand. From private sunset cruises and five-star dining to water sports and quiet moments in your own villa, this island delivers a high-end experience without trying too hard. If you’re planning your trip to Anguilla and want to do it right, here’s everything you need to know.
Where the Sand Meets Luxury
Anguilla’s beaches are often ranked among the best in the world, and the difference is immediately clear when you step onto one. The sand is soft and white, the water is calm and bright, and the beaches themselves feel open and uncrowded. Meads Bay is a must for anyone looking to soak in the upscale beach scene. With its gentle waves, boutique resorts, and beachfront dining, it’s the kind of place where you can spend an entire day and never feel like you’ve done too much. Shoal Bay East is another standout, offering a livelier but still luxurious atmosphere with beachfront bars, colorful reef areas for snorkeling, and plenty of sun-soaked shoreline.
For something more private, venture out to Little Bay, a secluded cove only accessible by boat or rope. It’s quiet, intimate, and ideal if your version of luxury leans toward peace and privacy. Whatever beach you choose, Anguilla makes sure you’re not fighting for space or surrounded by crowds. You get your view, your stretch of sand, and the calm feeling that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Set Sail for Golden Hour
Nothing says Caribbean luxury in Anguilla like a private sunset cruise, and in Anguilla, it’s an experience worth building your day around. Sunset cruises here are intimate and effortless. You can book a private catamaran with a small crew who knows just where to take you for the best views. Many options include hors d'oeuvres, open bar service, and onboard dining if you want to turn the evening into something a little more special.
Some cruises take you along the island’s west coast for views of Meads Bay and Rendezvous Bay as the sun sets behind the hills. Others circle around to private beaches, where you can anchor, swim, and relax as the light fades. If you’re traveling as a couple, this kind of evening is one of the most memorable things you can do. It’s quiet, romantic, and completely free of crowds. And if you’re traveling with friends or a small group, a private charter lets you bring the energy you want while still keeping things polished and elevated.
Dive Into the Blue
Anguilla’s waters are as clear as they come, making it a paradise for water lovers. If you’re into snorkeling, paddleboarding, or kayaking, you’ll have no shortage of places to explore. What sets Anguilla apart is how unspoiled everything feels. The coral is vibrant, the fish are plentiful, and you often feel like you have the sea to yourself. Little Bay is a top snorkeling spot with dramatic cliffs and calm waters filled with marine life. Prickly Pear Cays, a quick boat ride offshore, offers some of the clearest water and healthiest reef systems around. You can spend hours snorkeling, swimming, and lounging on the boat between dips.
If you prefer something a bit more active, kayaking through the mangroves or paddleboarding along the coast are both relaxing and scenic. There’s no need to rush anything. This is luxury in motion, with warm water, zero hassle, and the kind of beauty that keeps your camera in hand the whole time. The best part is, whether you’re new to water sports or experienced, there’s always a guide available to help or lead the way. That means less planning and more doing, which is exactly what you want from a luxury escape.
Spot Something Rare
If you’re lucky, you might catch one of Anguilla’s lesser-known natural wonders during your stay – nesting sea turtles. The island is home to green and hawksbill turtles, both of which use local beaches for nesting between April and November. Watching these creatures come ashore to lay their eggs or spotting hatchlings making their first trip to the sea is a rare and unforgettable sight. It’s also something you won’t find on every Caribbean island. The beaches at Captain’s Bay and Limestone Bay are known nesting grounds, and with a bit of timing and patience, you may be able to witness the process.
Local conservation groups sometimes offer guided viewings, always handled with care and respect for the animals and their habitat. Even outside of nesting season, spotting sea turtles while snorkeling is common. They’re graceful and curious, gliding slowly through the reefs or rising to the surface for air. Seeing one up close in its natural environment adds a special kind of magic to your time in the water.
Hit the Greens in Style
If you like to work a little golf into your vacation, Anguilla delivers in signature style. The Aurora Anguilla Resort is home to a Greg Norman-designed course that combines dramatic coastal views with world-class design. It’s not just a beautiful course, it’s also playable, with a layout that rewards smart strategy without punishing casual players. You’ll find palm-lined fairways, ocean-facing greens, and a quiet, elevated atmosphere that keeps things relaxed.
The clubhouse is just as polished, with fine dining and full-service amenities that make it easy to stay for lunch or cocktails after your round. You don’t have to be a scratch golfer to enjoy a morning here. Even just hitting the driving range or playing a few holes is a great way to spend time outside without straying far from your luxury groove. The course is never crowded, the views are incredible, and everything is maintained to the highest standard. For travelers looking to blend outdoor activity with a touch of elegance, a morning on the green followed by a beachside lunch hits all the right notes.
Eat Like You Mean It
The food scene in Anguilla is one of its biggest luxuries. You’ll find everything from fine dining to beachside grills, and somehow, it all works in harmony. For upscale evenings, there are several restaurants offering beautifully plated dishes, extensive wine lists, and an atmosphere that feels refined but never stuffy. These are the kind of places where you want to linger over dinner, soak in the music, and watch the candles flicker as you share a few desserts.
But a luxury trip to Anguilla isn’t just about white tablecloths. Da’Vida, right on Crocus Bay, offers elevated island cuisine with the waves just steps away. Order grilled lobster, conch seasoned with local herbs, or a fresh catch of the day, and eat it with your feet in the sand. Even small spots tucked away in local neighborhoods serve up some of the best seafood and flavors on the island. It’s all about quality, freshness, and hospitality. Dining in Anguilla is about enjoying the moment as much as the food. Each meal becomes a part of the trip you’ll remember long after you’ve gone home.
You’ll Want a Car
To make the most of everything Anguilla has to offer, renting a car is a smart move. The island is small, but taxis can add up quickly and they don’t always give you the flexibility to explore on your own time. Having a car lets you hit all the beaches, try a new restaurant every night, and take detours whenever something catches your eye. Driving here is easy once you get used to the fact that they drive on the left. Roads are in good condition, traffic is light, and the scenery is worth slowing down for.
Most rental companies deliver directly to your villa, so there’s no need to navigate an airport desk or waste time picking something up. If you're staying somewhere central like CéBlue, you're already close to the best of the island, but having a car turns that convenience into freedom. Want to catch a sunset at Shoal Bay? Head to the golf course early? Slip off to a quiet cove after lunch? It’s all on your own schedule when you have the keys in hand.
