Things to do in Anguilla
Stroll Mead's Bay, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach in Anguilla
Grab a drink at Leon's at Malliouhana, and bring it to swim in Nim's Nook Cove. *Tip: Leon's makes the best rum punch on the island.
Catch the sunset at the Four Seasons Sunset Lounge
See Anguillan legend Bankie Banx perform at The Dune Preserve. *Tip: Friday nights after 9pm and Sundays starting at 12pm are the best time to see Bankie perform.
Charter a catamaran and spend the day visiting the uninhabited white sand cays around Anguilla.
Rent a classic British moke and drive the island in style, exploring in your own time
Take a boat trip to explore Scrub Island *Tip: I can arrange a tour guide with unlimited rum punch and beer during the excursion
Surrounded by 7 marine parks and blessed with great visibility, Anguilla is the perfect place to learn to scuba dive.
Indulge in a couple's spa at the fabulous Arawak Spa at the Belmond Cap Juluca Hotel. *Tip: choose from an outdoor pavilion experience or indoor shared room.
Day trips
If you're looking to add more luxury to your trip, I can arrange a day trip to St. Barts via plane or boat for a day of shopping, sightseeing and fine dining.
Places to eat & drink in Anguilla
Lunch
Sunshine Shack - This great lunch spot is on Rendezvous Bay and has the best BBQ chicken and ribs I've ever had.
Straw Hat - Located at the Frangipani Resort, this restaurant is ideal for any time of day, but I always find myself coming back for lunch. It's a lovely place to be during the day.
Blanchard's Beach Shack - The best tacos on the island. Pair these with a cold beer on a hot day and you've got a version of heaven.
Elvis Beach Bar - Known for his Rum Punch and college sports memorabilia, Elvis's is an island icon and can't miss.
Da'Vida - Can't miss the Sunday Funday BBQ starting at 12pm.
Dinner - all reservations recommended
Jacala - Known as the best restaurant in Anguilla. Must make reservations in advance (no website).
Mangoes - Still dream about their sesame seed-crusted red snapper and fresh-caught grilled lobster (no website).
Cip's by Cipriani - This restaurant at the Belmond Cap Juluca has brought in a chef from Siciliy in the last year, and it shows. The pizzas and gelatos are out of this world.
Blanchards - No visit to Blanchard's is complete without a slice of their famous coconut cake at the end.
Sharky's - I still dream about the cinnamon spice soup. Once you sit down, you completely forget you're sitting on the side of the road.
