Luxury Anguilla Holidays

They say the best things come in small packages. Measuring just 16 miles by 3 miles, Anguilla is a pint-sized marvel so paradisal, you’d think the proverb was written with the island in mind.

It seems a tiny speck within the greater array of Caribbean jewels, but a postcard-perfect concoction of coconut palms, sugar-white sands and azure waters show every inch is as stunning as the next. Better still, Anguilla is a destination that slips under the radar for most visitors to the Caribbean and its unspoiled beauty, seclusion and authenticity make it a real luxury holiday. Kaleidoscopic coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, stingrays and reef sharks offer enticing snorkelling straight off one of the 33 beaches the island boasts.

However, Anguilla holidays offer more than just shimmering sands and turquoise seas. It’s a burgeoning foodie hotspot, a culinary capital where world-class chefs serve up top-notch fare alongside authentic street shacks. Somehow, over 100 restaurants are squeezed into this sliver of land, offering everything from classic seafood to a smorgasbord of fusion food, mixing Caribbean influences with European flavours. The Caribbean has never tasted so good…

Best time to visit Anguilla

Anguilla is a great island to visit all year round. The high season runs from December to April, with the low season occurring from May to November.

The high season sees temperatures average around 28°C and with less rainfall, this is a brilliant time to plan a holiday.

In the low season, the humidity and temperature picks up, peaking in August at around 31°C. While there is a bigger chance of rainfall, Anguilla’s ‘rainy season’ is not as wet as many its Caribbean neighbours. The official hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, peaking in September, but excellent satellite forecasts give sufficient warnings so the island can make the necessary precautions. As a result, low season (the summer months) can be a great time to visit, drawing less crowds than in the high season.

Sailing & Snorkelling

A day’s sail to Prickly Pear Cay combines some of Anguilla’s greatest pleasures: beautiful beaches, colourful reefs and delicious food. Look out for dolphins and turtles on the journey to these two small islands, then build an appetite snorkelling among fish-filled reefs straight off the beach. You can also spot brown boobies around the rocky nesting grounds or stroll the powder-soft sands before heading to the beach restaurant. Fresh Caribbean lobster, a rum punch and views across the water make a memorable lunch.

Sandy Island is another favourite, a tiny sliver of sand scattered with vegetation and driftwood in the blue Caribbean Sea. It has all the charm of a Robinson Crusoe hideaway, but with a restaurant well worth sailing over for. Don’t miss the shrimp kebabs, marinated in the island’s signature Sandy spice, alongside a Sandy margarita. Finish with a classic rum punch and take in the uninterrupted sea views before the boat journey back.
