Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, famous for its stunning white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, upscale yet laid-back atmosphere, and exceptional culinary scene. Located north of St. Martin, it’s a small, flat island known for its calm, beautiful environment, boasting 33 beaches and numerous small offshore cays, attracting visitors seeking relaxation, fine dining, and water activities like snorkeling and sailing.
Shoal Bay is one of Anguilla’s most iconic beaches, known for its brilliant turquoise water, soft white sand, and both lively and quiet stretches depending on where you settle. Its calm, clear waters make it great for swimming and snorkeling, and its long shoreline means you can always find your ideal spot.
Meads Bay offers a more refined, upscale beach experience with luxury resorts and excellent beachfront dining. The beach itself is wide and calm, perfect for relaxing swims, long walks and enjoying gourmet meals just steps from the water. Sunsets here are especially beautiful thanks to the bay’s open horizon.
Rendezvous Bay features wide sandy stretches, gentle waters and stunning views of St. Martin across the channel. It’s peaceful, spacious, and great for leisurely swimming or strolling. The beach also carries historical significance as the site of a colonial‑era battle, adding interest to its natural beauty.
Savi Beach Club is inspired by Anguilla’s famous hospitality in bringing people together to eat, drink, celebrate and raise their energy. The pearly white beach behind you and the atmosphere of celebration around you are guaranteed to help you shift into holiday mode.
Savi’s location offers a very modern and sophisticated take in its ambience with superb service that has already earned rave reviews from locals and visitors alike. Its trending menu, set by chef Dario Schiavo, features unique dishes and drinks inspired by traditional Italian and authentic Japanese cuisine, bringing the best of both worlds fused with fresh Caribbean ingredients. The bar has a variety of cocktails inspired by the Italian summer and Japanese spring that will help you make your day even more enjoyable as you listen to the waves gently roll onto the powdery white sands. Most nights feature live entertainment.
Jacala is a staple on the list of “must visit” when on Anguilla. You’ll find it on Meads Bay Beach set in an open-sided dining room giving right onto the sand. Owner Alain Laurent and his daughter Angelique call their cuisine “intuitive,” which put simply, allows ingredients — a good cut of local fish, lobster or beef — to do the work, rather than smothering them with rich sauces. Intentionally simple, but also very French at its base. Jacala’s decor is almost entirely white, with just a few splashes of color in some cushions. The menu features light fare and delicious desserts for both lunch and dinner. The wine list is decidedly French but features a few American selections as well.
Surrounded by lush tropical gardens with the sea just a few steps beyond, guests at Blanchard’s dine by candlelight under lazy ceiling fans and rustling palms. The cuisine is creative and sophisticated with flavors from the Caribbean, Asia, America and the Mediterranean. The wine list is a Wine Spectator award-winner, yet the atmosphere is as comfortable as can be. No attitude, no jackets required — no pomp and circumstance. Blanchard’s has been hailed as one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean.
Nestled by an idyllic tropical cove on the northern coast of Anguilla, you’ll find the Da’Vida Restaurant & Spa. More than just another island hot-spot, Da’Vida is an experience that entices and encourages guests to celebrate life! From their celebrated team of global chefs serving up a delightful fusion of local and international dishes to world-class facilities and beautiful beaches, Da’Vida truly is a celebration of the finest life has to offer.
Contemporary Mediterranean flavors find their perfect setting on Shoal Bay West at Karaya, where award-winning cuisine and hospitality create something entirely new. From the teams behind Veya Restaurant and SandBar comes toes-in-the-sand dining that celebrates the authenticity and quality of Mediterranean cuisine. Named Karaya, meaning “moonlight” in Taíno Arawak, this restaurant honors both the island’s indigenous heritage and the natural beauty that surrounds every meal.
