Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean, is one of the most exclusive destinations in the region. This small island, just 16 miles long, provides a serene alternative to the busier Caribbean destinations, drawing discerning travellers who value privacy, natural beauty, and exclusivity. Anguilla is surrounded by coral reefs and dotted with offshore cays, making it a big draw for beach lovers. Whether you’re exploring the calm waters of Shoal Bay or soaking up the sun on Meads Bay, Anguilla promises an idyllic Caribbean experience that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Anguilla’s history stretches back thousands of years, originally inhabited by the Arawak people who left behind petroglyphs and archaeological sites. Its modern history began in the 17th century with European colonisation, as it became a British territory with a legacy of plantation agriculture. Today, Anguilla’s culture reflects a blend of African and European influences, evident in its music, food, and festivals.

The island is home to some of the region’s most opulent resorts and boutique hotels, including the world-renowned Four Seasons Resort Anguilla and the sophisticated Malliouhana. These properties have everything from private villas with infinity pools to beachfront suites with direct access to the powdery sands. For those seeking even more seclusion, Anguilla’s private villas provide unparalleled privacy and bespoke service, catering to celebrities and high-profile visitors who value discretion. Gourmet dining is also a highlight, with a range of upscale restaurants serving fresh seafood, international cuisine, and local specialities like grilled crayfish and johnnycakes.
Anguilla’s allure lies in its ability to offer luxury without losing its authenticity. Unlike larger islands, Anguilla has maintained strict development controls, ensuring that its natural beauty remains unspoilt and its beaches uncrowded.

Is Anguilla LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Anguilla, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is banned and workplace protections cover sexual orientation and gender identity. Equaldex gives Anguilla an Equality Index of 53 out of 100.

Anguilla is a quiet, low-key island, and that suits many of the same-sex couples who come here. There is no gay scene at all. The appeal is long, empty beaches, very good restaurants and small luxury hotels and villas where privacy comes as standard.
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory, and same-sex relationships are legal. Local attitudes are more conservative than the international crowd at the hotels, so most couples keep public affection for the resort, the villa or the beach club rather than the island’s villages.
We choose hotels and villas where same-sex couples are welcomed as couples, with no awkwardness about one bed or a honeymoon setup, and can pair Anguilla with St Barth’s for a little more energy.

General information
Anguilla’s compact size makes it easy to explore, whether you’re traveling by rental car, taxi, or bike. While there’s no public transportation system, taxis are readily available and provide a convenient way to get around. For more flexibility, renting a car is recommended, especially if you’d like to visit the island’s secluded beaches and local dining spots at your own pace. Driving is on the left-hand side, a nod to Anguilla’s British heritage, and the roads are well-maintained, making navigation simple. Many of the island’s luxury resorts and villas also offer shuttle services, ensuring hassle-free transfers between accommodations and nearby attractions.
Anguilla enjoys warm, sunny weather year-round, with average temperatures ranging between 26°C and 30°C. The dry season, from December to May, is the most popular time to visit, offering perfect beach conditions and calm waters. The wet season, from June to November, typically brings brief showers and a quieter, more laid-back vibe, with fewer crowds and more attractive rates at luxury resorts.
What Everyone Does In Anguilla
A visit to Anguilla revolves around its pristine beaches and indulgent luxury hotels. Days are spent lounging on the soft white sands of Meads Bay or Shoal Bay, often ranked among the best beaches in the world, with turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Dining is a highlight, savoring fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants or enjoying gourmet cuisine at world-class resorts. Exploring the island’s culture is also a must, whether it’s attending a boat race, sampling local dishes like grilled crayfish and johnnycakes, or enjoying live Caribbean music at a local bar.
What Some People Do In Anguilla
For those looking to venture off the beaten path, Anguilla offers a treasure trove of lesser-known experiences. Adventurous travelers might explore the island’s hidden beaches, like Little Bay, which can only be reached by boat or a thrilling climb down a cliffside rope. History enthusiasts can visit the Heritage Collection Museum, showcasing artefacts that tell the story of Anguilla’s past. Some opt to take a private boat trip to explore the offshore cays, such as Sandy Island or Prickly Pear Cays, where you can snorkel in clear waters and enjoy a remote beach all to yourself. Birdwatchers flock to East End Pond, a protected wildlife area where herons and other exotic species thrive.
What No One Else Does In Anguilla
For the truly adventurous and curious, Anguilla offers rare, under-the-radar experiences that few visitors ever seek out. Charter a private boat to visit the Sombrero Island Lighthouse, an uninhabited rocky outpost off the coast of Anguilla, steeped in history and rugged, untamed views. Dive deep into Anguilla’s heritage by meeting local fishermen at their docks and learning about traditional fishing techniques that have sustained the island for generations. Explore hidden caves like Big Spring, where ancient Arawak petroglyphs remain etched into the walls, connecting you to the island’s prehistoric past. Few travellers also think to venture inland for a private cooking lesson with a local chef, where you’ll learn to prepare Anguillian specialities like pigeon peas soup or salt fish. And if you really want to go off-grid, spend an afternoon volunteering with one of Anguilla’s conservation projects, such as turtle tracking or beach clean-ups, giving back to the island while gaining a unique perspective.
Getting to Anguilla
Getting to Anguilla usually involves flying into Princess Juliana International Airport in nearby St. Maarten, followed by a scenic 20-minute ferry ride or private boat transfer to the island. Alternatively, you can fly directly into Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport, Anguilla’s small airport, via regional airlines or private charters. Many luxury resorts and villas assist with arranging seamless transfers, including VIP meet-and-greet services.
