ANGUILLA IN A NUTSHELL
Anguilla offers a luxurious and stylish Caribbean hideaway for those seeking peace and quiet, almost to the point of sedation. The flat terrain of this coral island is compensated for by impeccable beaches with blinding white sands and, although renowned for its few truly luxurious hotels, Anguilla is a long way from being over-developed or spoiled in any way. Gourmands will love Anguilla – whether you eat in the hotels or one of the many outstanding restaurants, the cuisine is of a very high standard.
CARIBTOURS' PERSONAL VIEW
Ana comments: "If you have any sort of interest in history, spend some time at the Heritage Collection, a private collection of artefacts and treasures collected by Coville L. Petty OBE, a proud Anguillan with wonderful stories to tell." Gemma adds "It's all about beaches for me and I'll never forget the boat trip across to Scilly Cay for a wonderful lunch and memorable rum punch".
DID YOU KNOW...?
The Amerindians who originally discovered the island, originally called it ‘Malliouhana’ meaning ‘arrow-shape sea serpent’. It was renamed Anguilla by the Europeans in the 15th century because the island's long narrow shape resembles an eel – "anguille" is French for eel.
Overlooking the Caribbean, this elegant hotel is situated directly on two miles of coast with spectacular white sand beaches and secluded coves.
Malliouhana is the epitome of understated elegance and, in keeping with its French influence, boasts outstanding cuisine and an extensive wine cellar – Michel Rostang is the menu consultant and personally recruits a number of chefs from his own Paris restaurant each winter season.
With its unique children’s playground, this is that rare breed of hotel which manages to offer a stylish and romantic retreat whilst catering for the needs of discerning families.
