Perched directly on the sands of Shoal Bay East, Manoah Boutique Hotel is one of Anguilla's most distinctive beachfront stays.
Welcome to The Manoah Boutique Hotel
With its Caribbean-modern style, beautiful beach setting and lively oceanfront restaurant and pool, Manoah has a little bit of everything we love about Anguilla.
The owner of Manoah is well known for his successful restaurants and beach clubs in St. Martin and St. Tropez. Long-time lovers of Anguilla, he and his wife had always dreamed of opening a hotel on Shoal Bay East.
That dream eventually became Manoah.
Today, the beachfront building is named Liz in honor of his wife, while the main building carries the name of Deanna Mussington, a dear family friend whose career the owner helped blossom.
With that story in mind, we were ready to explore the hotel...
Manoah is a stylish mix of Caribbean charm and French Riviera flair.
The property is centered around its pool, with the main hotel building sitting just behind it and the restaurant, bar and beach directly beyond.
From the moment you pull up to Manoah Boutique Hotel's lobby, you enter a world grand and modern.
Entering Manoah Boutique Hotel
Dressed in crisp whites, shimmering tiles are interspaced with luxurious wood floors underfoot. The lobby is fresh with views of Shoal Bay blue in the distance. It is an indication of good things to come.
Lobby View
A boutique property, Manoah offers 31 rooms total. 22 of the rooms are set inside the hotel's main building, Deanna Building, which stretches 6 stories high. The remaining 9 rooms are directly on the sands of world-famous Shoal Bay East in the Liz Building.
Let's take a look at some of the rooms...
First up are the Superior Beachfront Suites in the Liz Building.
These spacious one-bedroom suites sit directly along the shoreline, so the beach is quite literally right outside your door.
Beachfront Living
On the ground floor, the private terrace opens directly toward the beach. It is hard to imagine a better spot for your morning coffee than this!
Inside, you have a large living area, bar with coffee maker, and a king-size bedroom...
Beachfront Suite Bedroom
Bright and inviting, with a calm, contemporary design that feels right at home beside the Caribbean Sea.
The ensuite bathroom is equally impressive, with a spacious walk-in shower and freestanding bathtub.
Beautiful Ensuite Bathroom
For a different perspecitvie, the 3rd floor rooms gives you an uninteretuped view of the sea.
When you throw open the drapes and push back the accordion-like sliding doors? It takes your breath away...
The use of glass is a brilliant touch. Panoramic, it offers an up-close perspective of Shoal Bay East. The terrace also extends across to the living space.
Shoal Bay Views from Liz Building
Undeniably beautiful, this is your front row seat on Shoal Bay East.
Inside, the suite has a similar layout and style.
Spacious Living Area
A curved hallway leads from the living area to the room's oversized bedroom with bathroom.
With sand-colored tiles underfoot, white all around and wood accent pieces, all of the elements work together to create a chic Caribbean feel.
The top floors boast a lofty feel with vaulted ceilings overhead.

Next, we move over to the Deanna Building for a look at the Oceanview Suites.
These suites have a large living room, with Venetian mirrored accent pieces and large flatscreen television and open onto a terrace that looks out to Shoal Bay East.
Twice the size of the standard room's terrace, the superior room's terrace wraps around to the living room. A fantastic use of space!
Oceanview Suite
Set above the pool, this spacious one-bedroom suite offers sweeping views toward Shoal Bay East. The vivid blue view immediately grabs you.
The bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, a television and large glass doors that open up to the balcony.
King Bedroom
Equally immaculate is the oversized and plush ensuite bathroom.
Oceanview Suite Bathroom
Elegant and encased in white, all bathrooms feature sink tub with tiled walk-in shower.
Beyond these accommodations, Manoah also offers Standard Beachfront Rooms, additional Oceanview Suites, a Two-Bedroom Oceanview Suite and a Presidential Penthouse.
All rooms are elevator accessible and are just a 30 second walk to the beach.
Next to the Deanna Building is the...
At the heart of Manoah is the hotel's inviting pool, surrounded by comfortable loungers and tropical plants.
Dazzling Pool at Manoah
Large, with ample seating, the pool itself slopes up to its edges, making for easy wading. Another smart touch are the lounge chaises that sit directly in the pool.
It is the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon, whether you're cooling off between dips in the sea or settling in with a cocktail and taking in the Anguilla sunshine.
Poolside at Manoah
Is that not the utmost in total relaxation?
Just steps from the pool is Manoah's signature restaurant, L'Étoile, that sits right on the sands of Shoal Bay East.
L'Étoile Restaurant
The focal point of the resort, the space is a successful blend of French Riviera-chic and Anguilla-cool. The owner's experience of developing beach clubs in St. Martin and St. Tropez is apparent.
Bright, open and effortlessly chic, the restaurant has a relaxed beach-club atmosphere with beautiful views of the turquoise sea.
L'Étoile is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, making it easy to enjoy a meal here whether you're staying at Manoah or simply visiting for the day.
For lunch, you can settle into a table overlooking the water or take your meal right out to one of the beachfront cabanas.
Lunch on the Beach
The menu combines fresh seafood with island-inspired favorites and satisfying beach-day fare. We particularly enjoyed the grilled mahi and blackened shrimp, served with chimichurri, garlic butter and spicy mayo.
Come evening, the restaurant takes on a more romantic feel, with twinkling lights, crisp linens and gentle waves providing the soundtrack to dinner.
Dinner is Served at L'Étoile
L'Étoile captures the laid-back luxury of a day on Shoal Bay.
If you want to keep active during your stay, Manoah's Fitness Center is open 24/7 and is equipped with treadmills, stationary bikes, cross-trainers, free weights and other cardio and strength-training equipment. Yoga mats and balls are also available, with personal trainers available upon request.
Of course, one of the biggest reasons to stay at Manoah is right outside your door.
Shoal Bay East
Shoal Bay East stretches for more than two miles, with soft white sand and some of the clearest turquoise water in Anguilla.
