Anguilla is calling💗🏝🐚



The end of October is the official re-opening of Anguilla. Restaurants, resorts, and businesses are springing back to life and the island is buzzing with excitement once again.

From returning favorites to fresh specials and new openings, things shore are picking up in AXA💗⛱️



If you’re planning your winter escape, now’s the perfect time to plan and book your next trip to paradise.

Speaking of planning the perfect getaway, here’s an idea for you...



Take the Holiday Beach Break: Tranquility Beach Anguilla

All You Want for Christmas is Tranquility Beach Anguilla!

If you’re dreaming of a Caribbean Christmas, Tranquility Beach Anguilla on Meads Bay has some lovely options for a holiday escape.



The standout three-bedroom Oceanview Penthouse Villa, sleeping up to seven guests, is available for Christmas with a seven-night minimum stay and flexible arrival and checkout through December 28.

One and two-bedroom condominium suites are also available over Christmas and into the New Year.



Part of the magic of staying at Tranquility Beach is the personal touch. By your second day, the beach team may already know just where you like your lounger, how you prefer your umbrella angled, and when you’re ready for one of Supervisor Sam’s famous ginger mojitos or a rum punch.



Add direct access to beautiful Meads Bay, a private outdoor terrace with a hot tub, a fully equipped kitchen and in-suite laundry, and you have all the comforts of home in a spectacular beachfront setting.

To add a little festive sparkle, guests are invited to join the beach team at sunset every Thursday in December, including Christmas and New Year’s Eve, for complimentary bubbly and traditional treats on the sand.



And if a stay at Tranquility Beach sounds like a dream, don’t forget about our My Tranquilitee giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a three-night stay for up to four guests in the Oceanview Penthouse Villa with Sky Deck, overlooking beautiful Meads Bay.

And the prize gets even better. We've added an Anguilla Card, plus $100 to enjoy at Leon's at Meads Bay - one of our favorite spots for a meal right on the beach.

Dinner at Lobster House

Located in South Hill, Lobster House welcomes guests with a relaxed, open-air feel and a warm island atmosphere.

With indoor seating and an outdoor dining deck, it’s a lovely setting for a leisurely dinner, whether you’re meeting friends or settling in for a meal built around fresh seafood.



We began with a basket of warm Anguillian johnny cakes, served with butter and olive tapenade. Soft and comforting on the inside, the johnny cakes were perfect for tearing apart and enjoying with the savory tapenade while we waited for the rest of dinner to arrive.

Then, the Loaded Lobster Salad...



This is a salad that certainly doesn’t hold back!

Lobster, shrimp and snapper are served over mixed local greens with cucumber, tomatoes and egg, all brought together with a citrus-lime vinaigrette. It’s a generous seafood-filled dish with bright, fresh flavors.

Can’t decide between seafood and steak? The surf and turf brings both to the table, pairing lobster with a perfectly seasoned steak and your choice of two sides. It’s a satisfying option for those who want a little of everything in one meal.



We finished up with two desserts. The cheesecake and the Keylime pie...



The team at Lobster House goes above and beyond to deliver 5 star service and excellent dishes.

What’s Cooking at Aurora Anguilla?

When it comes to dining in Anguilla, Aurora Anguilla has plenty to bring to the table.

With a collection of restaurants offering different settings, menus and culinary experiences, there’s always something to look forward to. Aurora offers elegant dining and relaxed beachfront lunches, the resort has made food an important part of the overall experience.



On a recent visit, I headed down to C Level, Aurora’s beachfront restaurant on beautiful Rendezvous Bay.

With its open-air setting, expanded terrace stretching out over the sand and those gorgeous Caribbean blues all around, it’s a lovely spot to settle in for lunch.



Of course, lunch called for a cocktail first!

I opted for a classic piña colada, the perfect tropical companion to the view. Cool, creamy and refreshing, it was just the thing for a sunny afternoon on Rendezvous Bay.



To eat, I went with the Black Truffle Burger - one of my favorites at C Level.

A juicy beef patty is topped with cheddar, tomato and pickled red onion, all tucked into a brioche bun. It's a satisfying take on a classic burger, with the pickled red onion adding a little brightness to balance the richness of the beef and cheese.



And there's plenty more to explore on the C Level menu, from Caribbean-inspired bites and fresh salads to grilled seafood, ribs, sandwiches and other lunchtime favorites. The hydroponic gardens also add a lovely local touch, with produce grown right on the Aurora property finding its way into the kitchen.

There’s more happening on the culinary front at Aurora, too.

The much-loved Lobster Beach BBQ is back!



A favorite for guests who enjoy dining with their toes in the sand, it brings together a delicious beachside feast and the beautiful setting of Rendezvous Bay. It's one of those Aurora experiences that feels especially fitting for an island evening.

There’s also reason to celebrate at D. Richard’s, which has been named the #1 restaurant in Anguilla!



Under the leadership of Executive Chef Samuel Knight, the team continues to deliver memorable cuisine and hospitality. Congratulations to Chef Samuel and the entire D. Richard’s family on this wonderful recognition.

And looking ahead, something new is taking shape along the resort's shoreline.

Breezes is being transformed into Eden Beach Club, a new beachfront destination planned to bring island-inspired dining, refreshing cocktails and a relaxed seaside atmosphere to the shores of Aurora.

The project is still in development, and an opening date has not yet been announced, so stay tuned for more news as plans take shape.

The Manoah Boutique Hotel is BACK!

After a pause for the off-season, this stylish beachfront hotel on Shoal Bay East is welcoming guests back with renovations and thoughtful new touches to make the return even more special.



If you haven’t had a chance to explore Manoah Boutique Hotel, our new YouTube tour takes you inside this beautiful property, set along one of Anguilla’s most spectacular stretches of sand.

With its stunning ocean views and contemporary Caribbean style, Manoah offers a relaxed beachfront stay with a touch of French Riviera flair.



In the video, we take a look at the hotel’s spacious suites, oceanview and beachfront accommodations, inviting swimming pool and oceanfront restaurant, L’Étoile.

With approximately 30 rooms across two buildings, Manoah brings together modern comforts and a wonderful location right beside the clear turquoise waters of Shoal Bay East.



There are special touches to discover this season, too.

At L’Étoile, recycled glass from last season has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautiful collection of drinking glasses, crafted right here on the property.



It’s a creative way to give old materials a new life, and a lovely reminder that beautiful experiences and sustainability can go hand in hand.



Come along for the tour and discover what’s new at Manoah Boutique Hotel. Watch the new tour on YouTube here.
