Anguilla might be a small island, but what she lacks in size she makes up for with personality and the ability to make you feel right at home. You won’t find the glitz and glam of other Caribbean islands, Anguilla’s charm lies in her power to erase all cares and worries and helping you achieve tranquility through the slower pace of island life.

After a day or 2 soaking up the Caribbean sun on one of our many beaches, why not charter a boat out to Prickly Pear Cay and Sandy Island? The snorkeling is excellent with many tropical fish species and even a few shipwrecks nearby. The fact that these tiny cays are uninhabited give the feeling that you’ve escaped to a deserted island and that the tropical beauty is all your own.

If you prefer to explore the life above the waves, try visiting Island Harbour on the northern part of the island for a taste of everyday life in Anguilla . You’ll find friendly neighbors chatting away as they wait for today’s fresh catch to come in on brightly colored fishing boats. Life for locals in this fishing village remains largely untouched by tourism so you’ll be able to see what it’s really like to be an island dweller.

As the sun sinks into the turquoise sea, it’s not your heart swelling at the sight of such pure and stunning beauty that you hear, it’s the beat and melodies of calypso music played live in charming little venues across the island. I have a few favorites and I’d love to point you in the right direction so you can have an evening full of swaying your hips and enjoying one of our island’s most fun traditions.

The vibrant bloom of Anguilla’s scenery and people will surely find a special place in your heart as she lulls you into tranquil bliss and helps you and your loved ones create unforgettable memories on your next luxury vacation with Time & Place.
