Staying in Anguilla

Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the northern Lesser Antilles, offers a serene alternative to the busier Caribbean hubs. Lying east of Puerto Rico and north of Saint Martin, the island is renowned for its pristine beaches and exclusive luxury resorts. Unlike neighboring St. Martin, Anguilla lacks a major international airport; access typically involves connecting through regional gateways like St. Maarten or Antigua. The accommodation landscape is dominated by high-end all-inclusive resorts and private villas rather than large-scale urban hotels. Consequently, major global hotel loyalty programs have a minimal footprint, making this destination ideal for travelers prioritizing privacy and relaxation over points accumulation.

Entry & getting around

Entry & Getting Around

Anguilla has no major international airport. Most travelers fly into nearby St. Maarten (Princess Juliana International Airport) or Antigua, then take a small propeller plane or ferry to reach the island. Once there, transportation relies heavily on rental cars or taxis, as public transit is limited. The roads are narrow but well-maintained. While the capital is The Valley, most tourist infrastructure and hotels are concentrated along the northern coastline.

Where to Base

Accommodation in Anguilla is characterized by scattered resorts and boutique hotels rather than a centralized city district. The primary lodging areas are located along the northern beaches, offering privacy and direct beach access. Given the island's small size (approximately 26 km long), most destinations are easily reachable regardless of where you stay. There are few large business-oriented hotels, making it a destination strictly geared towards leisure and relaxation.

Loyalty Landscape

Anguilla has a very low presence of international chain hotels. Major global loyalty programs such as Marriott, Hilton, and IHG have minimal to no physical footprint on the island. Travelers relying on points redemption or elite status should verify availability of partner properties or alternative arrangements in advance. The market is dominated by independently operated luxury resorts, which often have their own membership programs or partnerships with specific high-end booking platforms.

Entry Requirements

As a British Overseas Territory, Anguilla maintains its own entry regulations. Visa requirements vary by nationality; for example, Chinese citizens typically need to apply for a visa in advance. Always check the official guidelines from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office or the Government of Anguilla, and consult the relevant consulate for the most current visa information before traveling.
