Anguilla Caribbean Mansion Tour
Rendezvous Bay

Welcome to the beach with the best dunes on the island, Rendezvous Bay. From the Dune Preserve to Cuisinart, it also offers the widest extreme, from the funkiest to the most chique.

Let's see where we are on the island...

The red dot (left) is Rendezvous Bay.

Rendezvous Bay beach is our family's third favorite "big beach".

It's a bit of boat ride from Lover's Point at the end of Cul-de-Sac until Rendezvous Bay Beach comes clearly into view. When it does, you see a wide curve of sand that meets the crystal clear, calm Caribbean sea.

First stop?

Anguilla's oldest hotel...

Rendezvous Bay Hotel

As we coast along the shore, heading West, we pass pass another hotel, the Anguilla Great House, and watch more people swim and enjoy the heat of the Caribbean.

We're all in a comfortable, relaxed daze when snap! What's this?

Cuisinart Resort

Wow! What a resort. Who knew that "the appliance people" could establish such a hotel!

The hotel grounds are beautiful, complete with flowing fountains, elaborate gardens and marble floors.

And never has Cuisinart proved their power in the kitchen to such an extent, than in Anguilla.

The resort is home to the mouth-watering restaurant Famiglia and executive chef Denis Orr, who toured me around his kitchens. What a thrill, but more about that another time.

Let's come ashore for one of the best beach walks, heading west...

Enjoy the only true dunes on Anguilla!

Back in the boat and let's continue our round-the-island tour...

Farther along the dunes, you'll find the "dune master" - Bankie Banx, reggae artist - and his funky restaurant "Dune Preserve." It is literally made of scraps of boats, and other knick-knacks and paddy-whacks!

Here's a pic from the boat...

The Dune Preserve

Rendezvous Bay certainly doesn't miss a beat!
