Destination: Anguilla | The Best Hotels and Resorts

Some of the Caribbean’s best beaches on this tiny, 35-square-mile island.

Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean, comprises a small main island and several offshore islets. Its beaches range from long sandy stretches like Rendezvous Bay, overlooking neighboring Saint Martin island, to secluded coves reached by boat, such as at Little Bay. Protected areas include Big Spring Cave, known for its prehistoric petroglyphs, and East End Pond, a wildlife conservation site.

Tourist Visa for US Citizens: There are no visa requirements if you have an onward or return ticket, confirmation of accommodation, and can produce evidence of your ability to maintain yourself.

Anguilla’s AXA Clayton J. Lloyd International is set up mostly for local flights, island hoppers.

Flying Private: There are several FBO options available. Assistance is offered upon request for current clients. Many good opportunities for 1-way repositioning flights.
