Anguilla, the most northerly of the British Leeward Islands
and with only 35 square miles retains the
laid-back character of a sleepy backwater
to make it unique. The Island had almost no visitor facilities just a decade ago, but it made a decision in the 1980s to develop tourism with a slant toward luxury hotels and villas. It has since become one of the trendier top-end destinations in the Eastern Caribbean.
Life centers around the fabulous, powder-white beaches and the enticing turquoise waters offering the snorkeling, fishing and sailing an experience that can't be beat. You will also be welcomed by one of the Caribbean most
hospitable people. |

The island's luxury hotels, inns and
villas range from some of the world's most exclusive to
affordable. Hang-outs of the rich and famous include
Cove castles, Cap Juluca and Malliouhana. Try the Carimar and
the Allamanda - both hotels offer great value and access to
stunning beaches. There are also some good bed & breakfasts
on the island for those on a budget. You can go
shopping, dine in some of the finest restaurants in the
Caribbean or just relax in the sun. If you're a water sports
enthusiast then Anguilla is for you! |

History buffs will find Wallblake House interesting. Built in 1787 and now fully
restored, this plantation house withstood French invasions in the late
18th century. It is the only surviving plantation house on Anguilla and
one of the few plantation houses in the Caribbean where the entire
complex of buildings including the kitchen, stable and workers quarters
have survived virtually intact. The island is also the home to some of
the finest restaurants in the Caribbean. At dusk, beachfront restaurants
provide a front row seat for sunset before a star-studded show takes over
the sky.

You can find additional attractions on Anguilla range from their national sport of boat racing and sailing to
the local art galleries. If you rent a car for a day to tour the island
you'll meet many of the local artists, each perfecting their art and
proud to share their talents with you. Anguilla is also noted for its
gourmet restaurants, luxury resorts and charming locally owned
apartments, inns and guesthouses. If diving is what you're after,
Anguilla offers a superb reef system and offshore wrecks to explore.
Snorkeling is sensational off Scilly Cay, a two-minute boat trip from
Island Harbor on the northeast end of the Island. |
