With the Caribbean island paradise of Anguilla just named the world’s safest place to travel, this British territory of some mere 35 square miles is sure to see an influx of visitors. Here are Polo Lifestyles’ recommendations on where to stay to experience Anguilla’s most luxurious and gracious accommodations.

Four Seasons Resorts and Residences Anguilla

From generously appointed guestrooms to one-bedroom suites to five-bedroom, oceanfront villas, the Four Season’s property in Anguilla is the epitome of serene luxury in the world’s safest travel destination. Beachfront and poolside cabanas create idyllic perches for lazing away the day and for those seeking some quiet, the adults-only infinity pool is perfect. Meads Bay Beach, one of Anguilla’s most beautiful, is at your doorstep. Five different dining venues with diverse offerings ensure that if your day calls for staying on property, you are exceedingly well provisioned. And of course, that signature Four Seasons’ service and attention to every detail, including at the on-site spa.

Malliouhana Anguilla

A Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) member, the gorgeous Malliouhana was recently recognized by Forbes as the Best Overall Hotel in Anguilla. Pristine white walls meet azure waters, including those in their beautiful waterfall infinity pool, in a seaside location set above some of the island’s most highly regarded beaches. The casual West Indies vibe plays out in pastels and vibrant blues throughout the property and richly textured furnishings. An intimate spa on property offers additional opportunities for tranquility. The partnership announced in early 2024 between Hilton and SLH allows for enhanced benefits for those with Hilton HHonors status.

Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla

Renovated and redesigned by luxury travel brand Belmond following Hurricane Irma in 2017, perfectly white and plastered arches and columns are found everywhere and create an almost Mediterranean feel. The Spa By Guerlain’s offerings compliment the overall focus on wellness that can be found throughout the property. Luxurious but unfussy accommodations include villas with private pools and well-appointed suites with terraces and ocean views. The property’s private mile-long beach on Maunday’s Bay is utterly breathtaking and creates unparalleled tranquility and exclusivity.

Aurora Anguilla

This expansive, family-friendly, luxury property – replete with a Greg Norman signature 18-hole golf course and six onsite restaurants – is spread out across 380 acres along the crescent curve of Rendezvous Beach. Large enough for diverse experiences, such as their amphitheater and Entertainment Park, the 178 suites and villas and onsite spa provide opportunities for indulgence. Consistent accolades, especially for the golf course, has this resort property focused on a more active stay among swaying palms and a picture-perfect beachfront location.

Quintessence Hotel

For an intimate stay at a smaller scale property, the Quintessence Hotel, part of the Relais & Chateaux hotel family, awaits. Described as a “Tropical Grand Mansion,” twelve individual and impeccably designed suites with Frette linens and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries are available, or for larger gatherings, a full buy out of the property is also possible. A world class wine cellar and owner Geoffrey Fieger’s extensive Haitian art collection create an exclusive, yet homey stay.
