March 2011: Anguilla is our Island of the month

Long revered as an escape for the super rich and famous, Anguilla is one of the loviest Caribbean Holiday destinations in the region. Accessiblity for foreign visitors is best sought by flying in to Princess Juliana International Ariport on the Dutch-side of St. Maarten and then ferrying across from either the Dutch or French sides. We prefer the French departure as the ride is much shorter and reliable.

Anguilla is called tranquility wrapped in blue and when you get there you will realise why. The ocean looks like a perfect pool, warm and inviting. The sands are powdery white and quite dazzling on a bright sunlit day.

If the super high-end hotels and villas are out of reach from your budget, don’t worry, there are many guest houses and self-contained apartments that will be happy to serve you.

Visit the many quiet and gorgeous beaches and be awe inspired by the breath-taking views such as Shoal Bay, Rendezvous Bay and Mead’s Bay. Make sure and book a day trip to one of Anguilla’s offshore keys like Prickly Pear. So much to do but keep it in the true Caribbean mode, take it easy, take it slow, one day at a time. Enjoy your Caribbean adventure!
