3. Belmond Cap Juluca
Perched above Maundays Bay on Anguilla’s southern coast, Belmond Cap Juluca is a quiet resort fronted by a mile of white sand. Each Greco-Moorish-style villa features an oceanfront view and private terrace, patio or solarium. Guests rave about the luxurious accommodations at this Belmond Hotels outpost. Each features white and blue decor and comes equipped with a stocked minibar, complimentary Wi-Fi access and a smart TV as well as a terrace or patio with ocean views. If you’re seeking relaxation outside your waterfront digs, lounge by the infinity-edge pool or on the beach. All room rates cover use of two beach lounge chairs, plus snacks, drinks and chilled towels delivered via beach butlers. When you need a break from the sand, play tennis or unwind with a treatment at the Arawak Spa.
4. Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Recent guests said the accommodations and service at this resort overlooking Anguilla’s Shoal Bay East are exceptional. Sprawled across 6 acres, the resort’s 76 rooms and suites come equipped with deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers and furnished balconies with pool, resort or ocean views. Past visitors loved the spacious layouts of their accommodations (which range from 600 to 2,826 square feet) and the contemporary Caribbean interior design (think: natural wood furnishings with crisp white linens and accents). Lodgers were equally impressed with the outdoor infinity pool, which overlooks the ocean and is considered one of the world’s most beautiful, as well as the spa, which is housed within a 300-year-old Thai house and features a hammam and a juice bar. The resort also offers a fitness center, yoga classes and a beach boot camp, but if you’d rather get your adrenaline pumping in the water, you can ask the beach concierge to organize water activities, such as kayaking and snorkeling.
