Anguilla holidays
As the northern outpost of the Leeward Isles and with just a sprinkling of luxurious hotels, this island offers exclusive mile upon mile of pristine white sands and offshore coral cays. The island atmosphere here is addictively quiet and peaceful, with an exceptionally friendly local population. Anguilla's name, meaning 'eel', is an apt description for an island measuring 16 miles long by just three across, but it belies the outstanding beauty and the warmest of welcomes that are tucked away on this, the Caribbean's best kept secret.
The miles of unspoilt soft white coral sand and clear crystal waters are absolutely dazzling in their beauty. If you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger then why not take a trip to Scilly Cay, sail to Sandy Island or charter a power boat to Prickly Pear Cays for snorkelling and picnic outings. If you do fancy a change in pace then the cosmopolitan part - French and part-Dutch island of St Martin with its duty free shopping and entertainment is only a 20 minute daily ferry ride away.
The journey to Anguilla is usually via Antigua - making these islands a natural two-centre holiday choice and the British Virgin Islands, where we can offer private and secluded resorts, are also conveniently close.
If you dream of dining leisurely on lobster and crayfish, of enjoying the indulgence of luxurious hotels, if a razzle-dazzle nightlife is not on your agenda but a dazzling white sand beach most definitely is and if you want to match the easy-going pace of these relaxed islanders with their wide and welcoming smiles, then choose Anguilla.
