New Anguilla Card Partner: L'Etoile at ManoahBright, striking and inviting... that's Manoah! There's no missing this dazzling hotel! Like a spectacular sandcastle, it stands out in the middle of Shoal Bay East.
Their signature restaurant sits right on the sands of Shoal Bay. Equally eye-catching to the hotel, L'Etoile takes your breath away. It has quietly become one of Shoal Bay's most enjoyable spots for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. Expansive and sparkling, Manoah is a first class seat on Shoal Bay East.
The open-air design allows the sea breeze to drift through the restaurant while you dine by the sea. Moroccan seagrass pendant lights hang above warm wooden tables and plush seating, each table offers views of Shoal Bay's brilliant turquoise backdrop. The mix of natural textures, earthy woods and crisp coastal tones gives L'Etoile a refined French, St. Barths-chic beach club feel without ever feeling too formal.
Whether you're seated indoors beneath the woven lampshades or outside with your toes practically in the sand, the setting instantly puts you into vacation mode. Let's settle into breakfast at Manoah. There are few better ways to begin the day than breakfast overlooking Shoal Bay's turquoise waters. L'Etoile's breakfast menu covers everything from light continental options to your favorite hearty breakfast picks.
Our top pick is the L'Etoile Full Breakfast. This generous breakfast includes coffee or tea, breakfast pastries, fresh juice, a fruit plate, two eggs any style, breakfast potatoes and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. Combined with a cappuccino and Shoal Bay's stunning morning views, it is exactly the kind of breakfast that encourages you to slow down and lounge on the beach after. After a meal like that, the lounge chairs call for a moment of relaxation.
By midday, L'Etoile transitions into a relaxed beachfront lunch spot with a menu centered around fresh seafood, light island flavors and satisfying comfort dishes. The lunch menu features small plates like guacamole and chips, beef satay with chimichurri, truffle parmesan fries, yucca fries with spicy curry mayo and spicy honey butter chicken wings. We started with one of the restaurant's standout appetizers, the Anguillian Fish Cakes - light, crispy and dangerously addictive. Then, or our main course, we couldn't resist the Grilled Mahi and Blackened Shrimp...
A perfectly grilled mahi fillet is paired with plump blackened shrimp and served with side dips of chimichurri, garlic butter and spicy mayo. Too stuffed to even move, the only thing left on the agenda is lounging on Shoal Bay...
For breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails with one of the best views on Shoal Bay East, L'Etoile delivers a polished yet laid-back dining experience that feels effortlessly Anguillian.

One of the highlights, as always, was the iconic Anguilla Day boat race. Anguilla's national sport took center stage as magnificent racing sloops circled the island, their colorful sails dotting the horizon while spectators gathered along the shoreline, on boats, and roadside to cheer them on. With music and BBQ on the beach in Sandy Ground, the island came alive in true Anguillian style.
