Anguilla's Soft Opening: Lose The Crowd. Find Yourself.

Anguilla has zero cases of COVID-19 and has been officially categorized by the World Health Organization as having “no cases” of COVID-19.

Because of this unique position, Anguilla is taking a careful and phased approach to its re-opening. The island is beginning its re-opening with an emphasis on longer-term stays.

Anguilla is currently accepting applications for stays beginning now-Oct. 31. For arrivals after Nov. 1, applications will be accepted in late September. (Stay tuned for details.)

Applications from all countries are being accepted, with priority given to folks who are staying for longer periods of time, and coming from a country with a COVID-19 prevalence rate of less than 0.20%.

Here are the details...

Requirements

  • Complete pre-registration on the official BeatCovid19.ai website.
  • Insurance which covers COVID-19 medical costs and full hospitalization, doctors’ visits, prescriptions and air ambulance.
    • Our family's recommendation for medical insurance? Get in touch with Gabriel Bigotti of GB Health. Gabriel will find the best policy for you. He has consistently gone above and beyond for our family. We've been insured through him since 2008 and can't say enough good things about him. Visit Gabriel's website for details.

  • Covid-19 Testing Prior to Arrival & During Your Stay

    • A negative PCR test result obtained three to five days prior to arrival is required.

    • Remain quarantined at your approved location for 10-14 days.
    • Undergo regular health monitoring during this period.
    • Obtain a negative PCR COVID-19 test to be released from quarantine.

Following that final negative Coronavirus test, you are free to explore the island.

Where To Stay?

Beach Escape Villa

At Beach Escape Villa, tranquility is a shore thing.



Our family fell in love with Beach Escape Villa many moons ago, based on its location alone. A villa with chic beach house charm, Beach Escape is true to its name.

Set on secluded Sandy Point beach, at Beach Escape you are directly on sandy beachfront.



Beyond location, Beach Escape is one of the most comfortable and user-friendly villas in Anguilla.

Five bedrooms, plush media room, modern kitchen with outdoor cooking options and indoor and outdoor dining and lounging spaces span out over the villa's two buildings.

Two heavenly master suites are in the villa's main house, while two additional master suites and a twin room are in the guest house.



With direct beach access, grassy lawn, sandy front, Apple TV, SONOS, EVO grill, tropical landscaping, solarium-eque showers, oversized screened-in patios, luxurious outdoor couches…

Beach Escape is an ideal choice for a beach escape!

From regal crown moldings, to mahogany four poster beds, to antique sconces, louvre doors and double-paned windows, to the grand spiral staircase and wrap around verandas, each and every piece has been carefully designed. Each ornamental touch has been hand-selected for its specific place.



Sprawling across 4.5 lush acres and able to accommodate 23 guests, Santosha Villa Estate is Anguilla's most grand ultra-luxury villa.

Anguilla Love

A Special Dose of Anguilla Love From Willow Woodward

Many thanks to Willow Woodward for sending in her beautiful song and video filmed in Anguilla, "For The Love."



Willow and her family have been visiting Anguilla for 16 years. Her first trip to Anguilla was when she was just 9 months old!

Since day one, the island has captured her and her family's hearts. Spending many a-day on the shores of Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla is their home away from home.

Fast forward 16 years and today, Willow is a talented musician and songwriter. It is no surprise that her latest music video, "For The Love," was filmed at her favorite spot on earth...!
