If you are staying at a "bubble" property (listed below), you can visit any other property/business participating in "the bubble" during your quarantine period.
Additionally, Anguilla has implemented the Meads Bay Bubble...
Until now, travelers to Anguilla were only able to access the beach directly in front of their accommodations while in the island’s required vacation bubble. However with the development of the new Meads Bay Bubble, in-bubble guests staying at partnering properties Bella Blu, Carimar Beach Club, Frangipani Beach Resort, Kishti Villas, Meads Bay Beach Villas, Nathan’s Cove, The Beach House, Tranquility Beach Anguilla Resort and Turtle’s Nest Beach Resort can swim, kayak, walk and run the beach between Frangipani Beach Resort and Carimar Beach Club.
Guests can also make advance reservations through their concierge and stroll down the sand for breakfast, lunch, drinks or dinner at participating restaurants Straw Hat, Blanchards and Blanchards Beach Shack.
Advanced booking via your hotel is required for activities below
