Top Stars of the
Luxury Anguilla Hotels

Anguilla hotels and resorts start with so many unfair advantages...

• Idyllic beaches that are consistently voted "best in world"
• Anguillians are naturally friendly people (so the staff never feels as if they are trying to be friendly, it just comes naturally)
• a Caribbean island that sets the bar on luxury, beachside dining.

In short, the Anguilla island itself is 5 Star.

Each luxury Anguilla resort starts with that world-class setting.

And each tries to outdo each other with pampering luxury, suites that you never want to leave, and the latest menus by famous chefs flown in from Paris.

Anguilla attracts people who want the very best. Its luxury accommodations are famous for delivering exactly that.

No surprise, then, that such a tiny island like Anguilla would feature so many extraordinary hotels and resorts.

Quiet Confidence, Friendly Luxury

Anguilla resorts and hotels do not shoot up high from the landscape, jarring your eyesight. They blend with confidence into their surroundings, at "oneness" with magnificent beaches, quietly whispering "world class."

You can see it by the sheer luxury of the hotels, the lush grounds, and the discipline and attentiveness of hotel personnel (and the genuine, big smiles)...

And of course you can recognize it as well by the room rates! Each does, in its own way, more than justify the price tag...

• Viceroy, the latest luxury addition, is the largest and most modern, offering the widest range of dining and activities.
• CuisinArt, which has a subtle Greek/French feel amidst uniquely lush landscaping, features the only golf course (PGA level) on the island.
• Cap Juluca, the classic pearl of Anguilla luxury, recently renovated, pleases a strong and dedicated following.
• Malliouhana, the original and most Caribbean of the group, is closed for the 2011-2012 season. We hope for an exciting 2012-2013!

Our First Experience At Anguilla Hotel Luxury

During our first visits to the island, we stayed at villas. We loved to explore the hotels, visiting all of them.

At the time, one of the Anguilla hotels stood out above all others. It had a special Caribbean feel. We found ourselves returning over and over to one. Why? A simple pleasure...

That "first love" hotel?

The Malliouhana

The Malliouhana (full review here) sits on a bluff, overlooking Mead's Bay, an incredible sweep of white sand and gentle waves and clear turquoise. As I said, Anguilla hotels are lucky, but the Malliouhana hit the jackpot!

Doesn't it just make you want to dive right into the monitor?

Or go for a walk down that beach?

It even has a cool kid's water park, the only one of all the Anguilla hotels (at the time). Even if you don't stay there, you can pay $25 to use it.

Of course, they have tennis, and swimming pools, little golf carts to motor you around... and some outstanding restaurants, including the renowned Michel Rostang and its wine cellar.

Speaking of which...

Our favorite place to eat was actually the more relaxed beach bar. Yes, it's my dad's doing, but not for the rum punches this time... their french fries are the best on the island! Better than at all the other Anguilla hotels.

But Malliouhana's absolute, #1, best feature can only be experienced at the end of the day. Go to the deck by the bar and watch the sun set over the ocean.

It's our must-do magical moment in Anguilla...

Peaceful, quiet, the family is together, quietly watching the sun's blaze fade in glory (my Dad told me to write that!)

I could settle into a very relaxed, lazy day at this beautiful Anguilla hotel...

Play by the pool. Swim in the ocean. Snooze in a hammock. Eat.

And then?...

Repeat til bedtime!

Malliouhana Updates

The Malliouhana put Anguilla on the luxury travel map. It symbolizes Anguilla tourism, set the bar for future five-star hotels and resorts. We look forward to its 2012-2013 reincarnation.

More on the Malliouhana.

Malliouhana Update:   Malliouhana's kind General Manager, Bart van Deventer, invited our family for a special tour of Anguilla's classic charming resort.
