Posted on Last updated: 22 April, 2022

Anguilla is the Caribbean’s best-kept secret. Just a few miles away from busy St. Martin, Anguilla couldn’t be more different. One trip is all it will take to fall in love with this Caribbean gem, but there are a few things you should know before you go.

Whether you traveling to Anguilla with your family or off on an Anguilla honeymoon here are 18 must-know Anguilla travel tips.

19 Anguilla Travel Tips

1. take the ferry from st. maarten.

How to get to Anguilla is super easy and quick. The fastest way is to take the Anguilla ferry from St. Maarten airport, click here to book online.

After clearing immigration & customs in St. Maarten literally right across the street hop in the boat for a  quick twenty-minute ferry to Anguilla. There are flights to Anguilla but this actually takes longer than the ferry and costs more.

2. All Beaches Are Public

All the beaches in Anguilla are public. Even if there is a hotel right on the beach there will be a public access path to the beach. At Cap Juluca there will be a public beach access parking lot and signs down to the beach. If you’re ever at a hotel just ask them where the public access path is.

3. Use USD instead of Eastern Caribbean Dollars (EC)

We thought using the local currency, Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollars would be a better deal but it actually was a bigger headache. All the restaurants in Anguilla were listed in USD and would have to convert the prices in EC for us. Some of the beach bars ended up costing more in EC than if we just paid in USD.

4. Get USD At ATM Machines

The ATMs in Anguilla dispense USD and EC. There is no reason to bring tons of cash as ATMs are located all over the island. Don’t purchase EC before traveling to Anguilla or exchange money at the SXM Airport.

5. Rent A Car in Anguilla

The best way to explore Anguilla is by rental car. Anguilla is a small island but you’ll want a car. We rented with Junie’s Car Rental which was located right at the ferry terminal for $35 a day, there are several Anguilla rental car companies. Note you will have to purchase an Anguilla driver’s license but if you ask us it’s a pretty neat travel souvenir.

6. Bring Enough Sunscreen

Make sure to bring enough sunscreen because if you forget it you’ll be paying a premium. We have learned on our travels the more you need sunscreen the higher the price. We purchased an 8 oz bottle of SPF 50 for roughly $20 while a 16 oz bottle on Amazon is only $8.

If you do run out of sunscreen in Anguilla the best place to buy some is at Best Buy, there are two locations on the island.

This was our 5 bedroom villa at CeBlue Anguilla

7. Stay In A Villa

Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a gorgeous luxury villa? When in Anguilla stay in a villa, we stayed at CeBlue Anguilla in Crocus Bay. We had a gorgeous 5 bedroom villa with a private pool complete with ridiculous views. There are a ton of villas listed on Vrbo I would start there but we highly suggest staying at CeBlue Villas .

8. Pack A Floatie

If you have ever thought about buying an 8-foot unicorn or flamingo this is the time. It will be the best $40 you spent. Not only will it be a great photo prop but they are great to just lounge on. Click here for the unicorn

If you travel with a drone as we do, floaties look epic from above. The best drone for travel is the DJI Mavic , it’s super small and easy to fly. Don’t forget to bring DJI filters to make the colors pop.

9. Visit As Many Of The 33 Beaches As Possible

There are 33 beaches in Anguilla, visit as many as possible. Spend a day just road tripping around Anguilla exploring the beaches. There are a ton of things to do in Anguilla but beach hopping is our favorite. This is another reason to rent a car!

10. Get a Local SIM Card

Stop by Flow or Digicel and pick up a local SIM card and data package. A 1GB plan with Flow will cost roughly $11 or 3GB. For the price, it’s worth having data at your fingertips and of course driving directions. There are several, Flow and Digicel stores just stop in and pick up a SIM card. If you have T-Mobile you will have coverage with Flow.

11. Set Google Maps Before Leaving

If you don’t have data on your phone you are not SOL when it comes to directions. Before getting off WIFI put in your destination and pull up driving directions. Once you leave maps will follow your location and you’ll be to see where you are and determine when you need to turn etc. It won’t tell you when to turn so you’ll still need a copilot.

12. Bring A Mask & Snorkel

Don’t forget to pack your snorkel set. You can rent snorkel gear right on the beach but if you plan on spending several days on the beach bring your own. There are several snorkel sets on Amazon for under $20 like this one .

13. Pack a Dome for your GoPro

To get great shots like this one all you need is your GoPro and a $40 GoPro dome. Anguilla’s water is clear and perfect for underwater photography. Here is everything you need to know about GoPro Domes before your next Caribbean vacation.

14. Go Sailing in Anguilla

Get out on the water with Tradition Sailing. We spent the day sailing with the guys at Tradition sailing and it was one of our favorite days. We sailed to Little Bay where we snorkeled and had a lobster roll lunch right on the boat. They sell out fast so it’s best to book online in advance.

15. Pack a Polarizing Filter

If you want great shots of the stunning water that Anguilla is famous for then you need just one simple camera accessory to make the water pop off the picture, a polarizing filter . If you’re using a DSLR check for a number printed on the front of your lens it should be by in millimeters (mm), for example, 62mm. Find out what size your lens is and then order a polarizing filter to fit, all you need is that one number.

They install by screwing onto the end of your camera’s lens and they work like polarizing sunglasses. They have an outer ring you can rotate until you see the glare from the water disappear. Without the glare, you see the pretty blues of the water and not the white reflections. Other cameras other than DSLRs may be able to find polarizers too, we have polarizing filters for our DJI Mavic & Phantom.

16. Know What Nights To Be Where

There is always something happening on the island but you’ll want to know where to be when. There are also some great beach BBQ buffets on the island where you can eat as much lobster & crayfish as you want!

• Monday  are pretty chill but good live music at Dad’s Bar & Grill
• Tuesday  $5 burger night at Pumphouse ***Damaged in Hurricane Irma, currently closed***
• Wednesday Cap Juluca beach BBQ buffet with lobster, mahi-mahi, and much more $75
• Thursday Caribbean night at Zemi’s live music & Caribbean BBQ
• Friday  Ken’s head to the Valley from some of Ken’s famous BBQ ribs & chicken
• Saturday Cuisinart Resort famous Lobster BBQ buffet at Le Bistro $95 all you can eat lobster, brisket, fish, lamb, and much more
• Sunday  live music at Gwen’s Reggae Grill

17. Get Lost

Most people avoid getting lost when traveling but don’t be afraid to get lost in Anguilla. Turn down random roads and see where it brings you. The island is so small you won’t ever be too far from the main roads.

18. Shop At Best Buy (West Location)

The biggest and best grocery store in Anguilla is Best Buy West.  There are two locations but the west location is twice the size and has a much bigger selection.

If you are staying in an Anguilla villa plan on doing your grocery shopping here. Best buy is open daily and it’s right off Route 1 near Mead’s Bay.

19. Spend A Day On Sandy Island

Dedicate one day to doing nothing but enjoying island life on Sandy Island. Sandy Island is a quick 10-minute boat ride from Sandy Ground. Here’s everything you need to know about Sandy Island . Make sure to get the Caribbean grilled lobster with coconut curry sauce it’s out of this world.

Everything You Need To Know About Visiting Anguilla Right Now

Visiting some of the caribbean’s most beautiful beaches comes with a lot of requirements and responsibilities—but it’s worth it..

With 33 sandy sweeps, luxurious hotels and villas, and an impressive clutch of restaurants, the 35-sq. mi. Caribbean island of Anguilla is a sun-seekers dream. And as the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out begins, it's a dream we're having more often. Open to international visitors since November, Anguilla has instituted rigorous entry protocols which, so far, have managed to keep the virus at bay and position the island as one of the region's safer travel destinations.

If Anguilla's on your 2021 vision board, here's everything you need to know to plan a trip and the skinny on what it's like when you get there.

Anguilla is currently COVID 19-free

Last March, the island recorded three coronavirus cases and subsequently closed its borders. The government's swift action prevented community spread within its population of 16,000 so effectively that Anguilla was the only Caribbean island to hold its summer Carnival. The World Health Organization declared the island officially COVID 19-free in June , and since its reopening last November, only 13 cases have been recorded, all of them caught on arrival.

The CDC currently classifies Anguilla as a Level 1 – Low Risk destination, and, to date, there have been no recorded deaths from the coronavirus.

You’ll need a travel visa

As is the protocol with all Caribbean countries, travelers must apply for travel authorization to visit Anguilla, and the island recommends applying seven days in advance. You'll need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result within five days of arrival , and that you have medical insurance that covers COVID-19-related costs. Prospective visitors apply online .

There are three tiers of visas—valid for stays of up to five days, 90 days, or a year—and you can apply as an individual, couple, or family. Current fees start at $300 per person for a stay shorter than five days and escalate to $3,000 for a year-long stay for a family of four.

Fees include the cost of on-island monitoring and two PCR tests, one administered on arrival, the other at your hotel or villa, either near the end of your quarantine or the end of your trip—a boon for U.S.-bound returnees .

HOT TIP: If you're coming to Anguilla via St. Maarten (most visitors fly into SXM and then take the 30-minute ferry ride over to AXA), you'll also need to apply for travel authorization to enter St. Maarten.

There’s a mandatory quarantine

When you land in Anguilla (either at the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal or the Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport), you'll be given a PCR Covid test, fitted with a quarantine wristband, and transferred to your hotel or villa. Once there, you'll be confined to your room (with no restaurant or beach access) until you get your (hopefully negative) results, in six to 12 hours.

On a recent trip, I had my results within in four hours, just in time for a moonlit beach stroll. Visitors from the United States and other countries deemed high risk must then quarantine for 14 days. But that doesn't mean you spend the next two weeks in your hotel room! Read on to find out why.

Anguilla operates a “bubble system”

How can visitors enjoy the island while minimizing their contact with—and therefore chances of transmitting the virus to—locals? In Anguilla, the answer is the bubble system. Visitors may stay only at Safe Environment Certified or "bubble" hotels and villas (the current list includes Belmond Cap Juluca , Tranquility Beach Resort and Four Seasons, Anguilla ), where staff have been trained in pandemic protocols and procedures.

For the next two weeks you can dine exclusively by reservation at bubble restaurants (the list, updated weekly, includes favorites such as Straw Hat , Sandy Island , and Ember ), which reserve certain days for quarantining visitors and others for locals, so the two groups never meet. Your hotel or villa manager can also arrange specific approved activities, such as yoga, golf, and diving.

You can't rent a car while you're in quarantine, so your hotel or villa manager will arrange a certified taxi, authorized to take you directly to the restaurant and back, with no spontaneous stops (a necessary but painful procedure for an inveterate shopper like me!). You can enjoy the beachfront at your hotel, but if you want to walk down the beach to another bubble hotel or restaurant, you must be escorted by a friendly "beach warden," who makes sure you don't make any impromptu detours.

Quarantined visitors are expected to wear masks in taxis and all public places except the beach, and to maintain social distance. (Of note: Because there's been no community spread in Anguilla, there's no mask mandate for residents outside the bubble.)

There are bubble neighborhoods

On the southwest coast, a section of the sweep at Meads Bay, stretching from Frangipani Beach Resort north to Carimar Beach Club , has been designated as the Meads Bay Bubble. If you stay in this neighborhood, you're free to walk along the beach beyond your hotel and to visit the other hotels and restaurants within in its limits during your quarantine. The only caveat is that you must be accompanied to and from by the beach warden at your hotel.

Not only does this allow you more freedom of movement, it saves you the cost of taxis, which like most things on Anguilla, can be pricey (think $60 for a five-minute ride.) Over on the island's east coast, you can stay in the Shoal Bay Bubble, which starts at Shoal Bay Villas and ends at the Point, allowing full access to the sandy strip in between.

But not everything is in the bubble

For businesses that rely on tourist dollars to survive, being in the bubble makes economic sense. But for those whose bread and butter is patronage by residents, it's not necessarily worth the certification costs.

So, while popular offshore excursions such as Prickly Pear , restaurants including Blanchards , and the course at CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa are open for bubble guests on specific days, places such as Elvis' Beach Bar , Garvey's Sunshine Shack , and The Dune Preserve are not in the bubble. If you're staying for less than a couple of weeks, take them off your list.

If you test positive on arrival, here’s what happens

Should you test positive upon arrival (and provided you're asymptomatic) you'll have to isolate—at your own expense—at the hotel or villa where you're holding a reservation. All of the Safe Environment Certified hotels and villas on island are required to set aside at least one room from the rental pool, which is reserved exclusively for arrivals who test positive. There you'll be monitored by medical staff until you test negative or transferred to a hospital, if necessary.

Despite the hurdles, it’s worth it

Although the process is easy and efficient, applying for entry to Anguilla is time-consuming and pricey. Tourism officials recommend applying a week in advance, so forget that spontaneous weekend getaway. Your favorite hotel or villa may not be on the certified list, your favorite restaurant may not be in the bubble, and spas may not open until next year.

However arduous or inconvenient they may seem, these strict pandemic protocols have helped keep Anguillians safe and circumvented the spikes in cases seen in other Caribbean islands when they reopen to foreign visitors. The numbers—16 total cases and zero deaths in the last year—speak for themselves.

And, trust us, after you've applied, tested, arrived, retested, quarantined, and finally sink your feet into the silken sands of Maundays Bay, you'll know it's all been worth it.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN ANGUILLA

As you can tell from the Viator links above (also check Orbitz HERE ), there are quite a few things to do in Anguilla despite only being 35 square miles in size! And if you didn't know, it sits less than 11 miles from the island of St Maarten & can be easily accessed by ferry if you want to do a little Island hopping!

But let's chat about our vacation to Anguilla! In true orderly fashion, Nate & I (along with our siblings) decided to rent a car and explore Anguilla instead of depending on someone else to show us around. If you have been following our travels via our YouTube channel , you may have already seen some of these locations in 2019, when we first discovered Anguilla! 

Once again, we were reminded just how beautiful & safe Anguilla is, along with experiencing quite a bit of change over the past few years. Some good and some bad , but we will get into that below as we tell you about some of our favorite places & things to do in Anguilla!

1. Explore Sandy Ground - Sandy Ground is known for its long, beautiful beach, surrounded by massive hills, with smooth waters, a working port, a variety of restaurants and bars, nightlife, and of course, our FAVORITE PART. ... the incredible picture-worthy Shipwrecks (pictured above). 

A few noteworthy things to know about Sandy Ground:

• Quick access to Sandy Island - If you look far enough out to the ocean, you will see the tiny Sandy Island. There are a few boats in the bay area that will be happy to take you to Sandy Island. And if you're not sure what Sandy Island is... in a nutshell, it's essentially a sand bar with a tiny shack that serves lunch and drinks out in the middle of the ocean! I suggest making a reservation or contacting the Sandy Island crew before you start your day. Click HERE for their website & contact details. Don't worry; if you are at Sandy Ground, & decide you want to experience Sandy Island at the last minute, they will be happy to have you, as long as there is no private event. 
• Calm waters & a gentle slope - One of our favorite parts about Sandy Ground is how calm the water is & the slow, steady slope of the sand into the ocean. I would say this is one of 2 spots (Little Bay is the 2nd) where you will find the water to be the calmest, especially when the wind blows above 8 mph. 
• Home To MULTIPLE boats - Sandy Ground is where most of the locals & visitors will be leaving their boats.... meaning... if you are going to swim, please be aware of your surroundings and watch for boats and anchors in the sand. Also, you can find multiple tour boats ( fishing , snorkeling, sailing , etc.), and you can typically get their contact information pretty easily. This is also where 100's of boats will gather for ANY boat race & especially during Carnival .
• A handful of beachfront restaurants & little shops - There are a handful of restaurants & shops sitting on the beach front & the two that we visited and loved were Elvis' Beach Bar & Criss Conch Shack . Elvis' is typically open in the late morning, & Criss' is only open for dinner. If you are a sports enthusiast, Elvis' Beach Bar is your best bet to find the sports game you want on a big-screen projector! And the Conch at Criss' is seriously delicious & cooked to perfection!  
• Home to a few shipwrecks (pictured above) - At the opposite end of all the restaurants and shops, you will find 2 or 3 shipwrecks in Sandy Ground's corner. Although they are incredibly picturesque, PLEASE be careful when you walk over by them! There are multiple sharp metal pieces of ship, buried in the sand, and they are easy to step on, especially if you are barefoot!

2. Day Trip To Little Bay - Little Bay is one of those hidden gems that are only accessible by either water vessel or by 'activating' the adventurer in yourself & doing a little cliff climbing hike! Trust me when I say this is a MUST-SEE! This is simply because of how secluded it is! Talk about feeling like you have a private oasis all to yourself, surrounded by massive limestone walls, beautiful soft white sand, & some of the smoothest waters on the island!

A few noteworthy things to know about Little Bay:

• How do you get to Little Bay - There are two specific ways to get to Little Bay: by water vessel or by hiking in and climbing down the cliffside: 
• Suppose you want to experience Little Bay as we did & do a self-guided tour. In that case, there is a small parking area for your car (enter this latitude & longitude precisely as shown in Google Maps): 18.2281995, -63.0678290 & once you are parked near the small fence, you should see a small hiking trail down the side of the hill. You will follow that to where you see the small cove & be on the lookout for a rope that will help guide you down the cliff side. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take a pair of close-toed shoes that you don't mind getting wet, especially if you plan to jump off the rock! I have these water shoes that have a nice sole & dry quickly.
• If you prefer to avoid the cliffside & hike, there are multiple tour boats/charters that you can catch. These charters can be as luxurious as you would like ($$$$) or a little simpler & much friendlier on the pocketbook ($$). For instance, you can catch a sailboat , hop on board a private speed boat or yacht , find Calvin under the big Tamarind Tree on Crocus Bay near Da'Vida , or adventure by   Kayaks from Crocus Bay (also nearest Da'Vida)
• Do a little cliff diving - There is a larger rock that sits just below this Villa property (yes, you can rent the villa!) that is known for cliff diving. In the first 20 seconds of this 1-minute clip , you can see exactly what I'm talking about if you want to see our experience! A word of advice... to climb the rock, you have to be able to hoist yourself up with a rope (it's secure) & you will be essentially climbing up a coral-like rock & it's incredibly sharp! I wore these shoes to climb up the rock, but Nate & our siblings decided to go barefoot. It's roughly 20 feet up, and when you get to the top of the rock & are ready to jump, try to jump as far as possible. It is deep enough, but if you are taller, I suggest jumping and tucking! It's deep enough to step right off, but I don't like to take any chances.... just JUMP & TUCK... and remember to empty your pockets BEFORE you jump!
• Little Bay has nothing else - meaning no food, no drinks, no bathrooms, no chairs, & one tiny tiny shade tree. So make sure you are prepared 
• Take a backpack - We easily spent 6-7 hours at Little Bay & after doing this, here is a list of items that we brought & wish we would have brought (ps, we used this drybag backpack 40L ):
• Snorkel Mask & flippers (make sure you burn the inside of the lens of your goggles & wash with dish soap; this will help with fogging)
• Towel or thin blanket to lay on or to use for shade cover
• Sandwich/snack items
• Portable Charger
• Water/Gatorade (at least 2-3 per person, depending upon how long you are staying)
• Water Shoes/tennys to climb
• SPF long-sleeve shirt ( Nate's preference & my women's preference )
• Hairbrush/comb (long hair & saltwater = nasty tangles)
• Ocean-friendly SPF (I have a sun allergy & this is the one lotion that doesn't irritate my skin & is ocean-friendly)
• Ziplock Baggy with wet, clean washcloth (this was amazing to use on our faces after swimming for hours in the saltwater!)
• The sea life is not as dense as it used to be - just like any location in the ocean that becomes a popular area sadly, the coral dies off, and the sea critters disappear as well. Yes, you will see sea life as you snorkel, but unfortunately, it isn't as good as it used to be.

As I said before, Little Bay is very secluded, and most likely, you will have the entire beach to yourself. But do keep in mind, if you go snorkeling, be aware of your surroundings & watch for the incoming boat traffic. They very rarely pull up to the beach and tend to anchor closer to the rock where you would jump off. So, snorkel with caution and keep an eye out for incoming boats. 

3. Explore The Famous Anguilla Arch - The Anguilla Arch is a natural limestone arch located on the western tip of Anguilla. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Anguilla and is known for its stunning beauty and its dramatic location. Although the water seems calm in our picture, this is not typical & when the wind is above ten mph, this water is quite rough and can be a dangerous area to swim & snorkel due to the amount of sharp limestone & coral rocks just under the ocean's surface.

A few noteworthy things to know about the Anguilla Arch:

• How to get to the Anguilla Arch - Once again, just like Little Bay, there are 2 specific ways to get to the Anguilla Arch; by water vessel or by car . And if you want to swim under the Arch, once again, you will have to activate that 'adventure' side of your brain & body! If you are driving and only want to view the Arch, type in these exact coordinates into Google Maps (exactly as they are listed): 18.1691773, -63.1629921   But... if you are driving and want to snorkel under the Arch like we did, the easiest way to get down to the water is NOT at the same spot. If you type these exact coordinates into Google Maps: 18.1701788, -63.1626863 these will take you about 2 more seconds away & you will find a concrete staircase leading you to multiple areas of getting into the water. The only 'con', you have a little bit of swimming to do before you reach the Arch.
• Just like Little Bay, there is nothing surrounding the Arch except some homes ( see this VRBO rental right next to the Arch )- meaning no food, no drinks, no bathrooms, no chairs, no shade & some shrubs. So, make sure you are prepared! 
• Take a backpack - We easily spent 4-5 hours at the Arch & would suggest the same items that we took to Little Bay (above)
• The sea life is not as dense as it used to be - just like any location in the ocean that becomes a popular area sadly the coral dies off, and the sea critters disappear as well. Yes, you will see sea life as you snorkel, but unfortunately, it isn't as good as it used to be.
• The ocean can be very rough - If you are planning on visiting the Anguilla Arch and doing a little snorkeling, be sure to check the weather! Any wind over 10 mph will stir up the water and make it crazy choppy. Also, there is nothing 'blocking' the island's West side, and it gets hit the hardest with the wind, whereas if you were on the southeastern part of the island, it is 'blocked' by Anguilla's sister island, Saint Maarten.

  4. Explore the larger resorts & their restaurants/amenities - Don't be afraid to explore the resorts on the island, especially the larger resorts. Most of the larger resorts have excellent restaurants and bars open to the public, & not to mention you can get access to their Spa & onsite shops. These larger resorts typically have a guard & and a gate at the front entrance. They will let you in if you tell them you are headed to one of the restaurants or lounges. We suggest checking out these resorts:

• Four Seasons Anguilla - If you didn't know, Four Seasons Anguilla was where Nate & I stayed on our first visit to Anguilla (watch our resort tour here) . We suggest checking out the Sunset Lounge for a cocktail & dinner, along with some live entertainment (typically on a nightly basis). Also, check out the Half Shell Beach Bar & the Bamboo Bar & Grill for a late lunch or early dinner. You can also book an appointment with their incredible Spa team!
• Belmond Cap Juluca - Also, on our first visit to Anguilla, Nate & I got an entire resort tour of the Belmond Cap Juluca as well (watch our resort tour here) & WOWZA! We suggest checking out the Cap Shack for a late lunch or early dinner & Uchu for lunch or dinner & also expect some live entertainment. 
• Zemi Beach House - On our most recent stay, we decided to change it up a bit & we stayed here over the week of July 4th (click here for a quick snapshot) . Every Wednesday, they have a MASSIVE all-you-can-eat cookout & it was delicious! Along with this unique all-you-can-eat meal, they also are home to two very distinct amenities that you will NOT be able to find on the rest of the island, a Rhum Room & a Thai House Spa .
• Aurora Anguilla - I'll be honest, we have not explored Aurora Anguilla, but they do seem to have the one thing on the island that no other resort has... a Golf Course! Here is the direct link if you want to make a request for a tee time while on vacation in Anguilla (do this well in advance!).

5. Explore Anguilla's 33 Hidden Gem Beaches  - Despite only being 35 square miles, Anguilla is a Caribbean island paradise known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back atmosphere. With 33 beaches to choose from, there is something for everyone in Anguilla. 

 Here is a guide to 4 of our favorite beaches to visit in Anguilla:

•   Shoal Bay (East): This two-mile-long stretch of white sand beach is one of the most popular on the island, and for good reason. The water is calm with that clear turquoise color, and the beach is lined with palm trees, restaurants, and a few well-known resorts. Two significant resorts you will find on Shoal Bay are the Zemi Beach House ( watch our full room & resort review HERE ) & Shoal Bay Villas . Two of our favorite restaurants are Olas Tacos & Madearimans .
•   Meads Bay: This crescent-shaped beach is another popular spot, known for its soft white sand and clear blue waters. Meads Bay is also home to a number of luxury resorts, making it a great place to stay and enjoy the island's best amenities. Two significant resorts you will find on Meads Bay are Four Seasons ( watch our full room & resort review HERE ) & Malliouhana . Two of our favorite restaurants are Blanchards Restaurant & Beach Shack , and Straw Hat .
•   Little Bay: As I had mentioned above , this secluded beach cove is known for its soft white sand, crystal-clear waters, dramatic rock formations & cliff diving. Little Bay is a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. There is nothing but a tiny beach here, no services, nor toilets!
• Sandy Ground: As you know from above , this popular beach is known for its laid-back atmosphere, beautiful calm ocean & beach, plus a vibrant nightlife, & a few very picturesque shipwrecks. Sandy Ground Beach is also a popular spot for water sports, such as kayaking, snorkeling, and diving. This Villa captures the best views of Sandy Ground, if you are looking for a place to stay!

Anguilla TRAVEL TIPS: 8 TRAVEL TIPS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Must know tips when traveling to anguilla.

1. IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL TO ANGUILLA? This is one of the SAFEST tropical islands we have ever traveled to (day & night). But we know it's always best to double-check! If traveling from the USA, check the travel information HERE to ensure no warnings on the Anguilla Travel Advisory website. Since we are on the subject of safety, if you're looking for travel insurance, we always use Travel Insurance Masters . Click HERE to get a quick free quote (you should see my name - Ashley Broders - in the top left corner)

2. HOW DO YOU GET TO ANGUILLA? There are two primary ways to get to Anguilla: you can either fly directly into Anguilla or fly to Sint Maarten (SXM) & catch a water vessel over to Anguilla. 

• Getting To Anguilla From Sint Maarten/Saint Martin - Most visitors choose to fly into Sint Maarten (SXM) & then either catch a ferry , a privately chartered boat (request a transfer) or a private air charter to Anguilla. There are multiple private companies that you can get a transfer from, but the majority of visitors use the Sint Maarten Public Ferry, which can be found across from the Princess Juliana Airport (SXM). Keep in mind that there are 2 ferry terminals, & if you are flying into SXM, the fastest & easiest terminal will be the Sint Maarten Ferry Terminal (Dutch side). The second ferry terminal is about 10 minutes from SXM, known as the Marigot Ferry Terminal in Saint Martin (French side). Here are five essential details that you should know:  
• You will go through 2 sets of customs & immigration before you reach your final destination in Anguilla. So be sure to have your passports readily available & on hand upon your arrival to Sint Maarten (we use this small over-the-shoulder travel bag for passports, travel docs, & phones)
• Expect to pay 2 sets of departure tax & terminal/security fees on top of your 'crossing fee' - the first is when you depart Sint Maarten to get to Anguilla & the second is when you leave Anguilla to return to Sint Maarten. Make sure to have cash on hand, just in case they aren't accepting cards. Your main 'crossing fee' can range from $30-$75 per person & your additional 'fees' can range from $15-$30 per person
• The waters can be VERY rough, so if you don't have your 'sealegs', be sure to take some Dramamine at least 30 minutes before you board your boat. 
• Ferry's typically depart every 30-45 minutes (starting at 9 am) & the ferry ride from Sint Maarten to Anguilla (& vice versa) can take about 25-35 minutes to cross the ocean. Click here for the Sint Maarten departure times (nearest SXM), here for the Saint Martin Marigot departure times , & here for the Anguilla Blowing Point Terminal departure times. Try to book in advance if possible, but don't panic if you can't book early. Just be sure to arrive at the terminals as early as possible to ensure a ride in a timely manner.
• Remember that you will be lugging around your luggage the entire time, so try to be mindful of how many bags you carry around with you. We typically stick to 1 backpack per person (considered a 'personal item') & 1 carry-on-sized bag per person. If you need more 'space', consider using these compression packing cubes to help with creating more room in your bag.
• Flying Direct To Anguilla - We have traveled to Anguilla (both of our trips) by flying direct to Anguilla (AXA). In my opinion this is the fastest way, but it can also be a bit risky because there aren't as many flight directly to Anguilla & it may cost a little more. Also, getting thru security and immigration only takes about 10 minutes (huge bonus)! The airport is very small, and can only receive certain sized planes at the moment, which is why the majority of visitors fly into St Maarten (SXM). Be warned, if you fly into AXA direct from Miami, American Airlines consistently has issues, such as THIS one when we flew direct. Also a side note: if you are flying out of AXA, be sure to eat before you get to the airport. There is a small cafe, but nothing else once you get thru security in preperation for your flight home. 

3. WHAT IS THE CURRENCY IN ANGUILLA? The currency in Anguilla is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (EC$). However, US dollars are also widely accepted. I suggest downloading the US Dollar to East Caribbean Dollar app to your phone, and then you can have an exact conversion. Also, be sure to carry cash on you, not just a card. Major stores & resorts will have a credit card machine, but if you go to these smaller restaurants & shops, most only take cash. Also, the GAS STATIONS ONLY ACCEPT CASH! So if you plan to rent a car, make sure you have cash to get fuel!

4. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GOING TO ANGUILLA? I go over these specific details in THIS short video , but here is a few things I think are worth mentioning:

• Renting a car in Anguilla (we suggest renting for at least 2 or 3 days)- If your are renting a car in Anguilla ( check rates here ) , here are a few things to know: (1) You will have to purchase a temporary drivers license, 3 days for $15 or 3 months for $25. Essentially, whomever you rent the car from, they will do this paperwork with you. (2) You can either pre-book a car or wait until you arrive at your hotel & evaluate how many days you want a car for. Your hotel can call a rental company & the rental company will bring the car to you & pick it up after you are finished. (3) Be prepared to drive on the left side of the road in Anguilla. If you are not used to this, at first it will take a minute to get used to, but after that, it's pretty easy. (4) Most of the roads are dirt, besides the one main road that circles around the island. Also, very few of the roads have road signs/names. So if you are looking for a specific restaurant down on one of Anguilla's 33 beaches, it will most likely be down a dirt road that looks like a dead end, but just keep going, you will find it! (5) Anguilla has 6 gas stations & the one we went to ONLY TOOK CASH! So, be sure to have cash on hand just in case they don't accept card.
• Anguilla has 2 taxes that total to an amount of 28%. So, just as a heads up, be aware of the additional tax that you will be paying for nearly everything that you purchase. We may sound like lushes after I say this, but it was MUCH cheaper to purchase our alcohol from the grocery store. And if you are considering doing the same, we suggest going to Albert's Marketplace & Wholesale for your bulk items & alcholic beverages. And if you are wanting a MUCH larger grocery selection, check out Best Buy West, which is closest to Four Seasons Anguilla.
• Before you travel back home , you will pay a $28 departure tax (per person)

5. DOWNLOAD THESE APPS before leaving home (unless you have an unlocked phone or a  an International plan)

• WhatsApp - In every country we have traveled to, we noticed this was the app we used the most! This has been the best way to communicate to other people (especially the locals) via wifi, without getting charged for roaming services!
• US Dollar to East Caribbean Dollar - This is an exchange rate calculator for the Anguilla currency (and other Caribbean countries)
• Maps.me or download Google maps for an offline map - download before leaving your home! While exploring Anguilla, this was a HUGE HELP! There is one main paved road that circles the island with all the other connecting roads that are primarily dirt & have NO NAMES on them! So, haveing a gps or map of some sort is a HUGE help, especiallly if you are trying to find a certain restaurant along the beach, which is down a road with no name.
• Netflix - download whatever series/movie you are watching to your phone while connected to strong wifi & watch without an internet connection... great for the plane ride!
• Your Airlines app - For instance, we flew with American Airlines (we are not fans because of THIS incident ) & downloaded their app. This will allow you to get checked in, see your gate & flight details, and your boarding pass, and it should send you updates for delays & cancelations. 

6. WHAT IS THE BEST MONTH TO VISIT ANGUILLA? This is a bit of a loaded question, but in my honest opinion, we suggest going during the 'low/end season' for Anguilla. We personally enjoy traveling to Anguilla between the last week of June to the end of July. Let me try to break it down a bit more, because traveling to Anguilla isn't like traveling to the United States, where everything is open all year around and where the 'seasons' make a HUGE difference:

• Anguilla's dry season (also known to be the 'high' season & MUCH higher rates) is from December to April. During this time, the weather is sunny and clear, with an average temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity is also low, making it a comfortable time to be outdoors. But again, keep in mind that rates will be inflated during this time of year. Check rates yourself here to get an idea .
• Anguilla's wet season is from May to October, and the humidity is heightened a bit more, with average temperatures of 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I would say the likelihood of it raining on a consistent 'daily' basis is VERY rare unless of course, there is a nearby hurricane. Hurricane season typicallly can start as early as June to November, but again, this is VERY rare for Anguilla to get hit with a hurricane & the weather tends to offer sunny skies with the occasional rain here and there. Not to mention, rates will be lower during this time of year. With this being said, I think it's important to know that a majority of the smaller business & restaurants typically only open Thursdays - Sundays during this time of year. So make sure you are staying over a Thursday - Sunday, to experience that true local feel.

Basically, if you are looking for the best weather and the least amount of rain, then the best time to visit Anguilla is during the dry season, from December to April. However, if you are on a budget, then you may want to consider visiting during the wet season, from May to November. The prices for flights and accommodation are lower during this time, and the island is still beautiful, even if it rains a little bit more. 

7. PRINT OFF ALL YOUR TRAVEL INFORMATION & TAKE IT WITH YOU! Let's be honest... all your travel details will be on your phone & most of the time, this is how you will gain access to them, but trust me when I say... PAPER COPIES ARE A HUGE HELP, and here's WHY I suggest you print ALL your travel documents to take with you:

• Just in case your phone dies ... you will not always conveniently be sitting next to a charging port... especially is you are waiting at the Anguilla airport, which I don't recall seeing ANY chargers in the one tiny waiting area. Do what we do... make sure your portable charger is nearby!
• No access to the internet/wifi ... and I'm primarily talking about while walking in/out of customs, on the airplane, or in transit to/from your resort. Plus, don't try to depend on the wifi at the Anguilla airport, just take my word for it!
• If your resort/hotel can't find your reservation or they want proof ... we have been lucky so far and have never had to deal with this, but I have heard horror stories. If you have your printed documentation & you need to show them proof of payment & the confirmation numbers, you are better off with the paper document!
• When filling out any airline documentation or going thru immigration... having quick access to your destination information is vital.... and most of the time, this is when your phone is dead, lol

QUICK TIP: Take screenshots of your travel details as well! This has ALWAYS served us well for obvious reasons, especially when we need the travel details fast!

QUICK TIP #2 : We use THIS small over-the-should bag specifically for our documents, passports & phones

8. PACK A FEW SNACK ITEMS & A REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE FOR YOUR FLIGHT...  

I don't know about you, but as soon as we step foot into the airport, we see all the snacks & beverages, then end up paying double for a Snickers bar, Pringles & water 🤦‍♀️ and then do it AGAIN while ON THE FLIGHT 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Don't be like us 😂

QUICK TIP: Most airlines allow you to have a free personal item (purse/backpack) & after flying a bazillion times, I found there are specific items that will come in handy to have immediate access to vs being in your carry-on luggage up above your head. These items are:

• Pen (black or blue) 
• Portable charger, charging cord & cube
• Headphones with a 'regular' old school jack (not wireless) to listen to the TVs on the plane (if your plane offers it)... they might sell you crummy headphones if you didn't bring any, & if you are not sitting in first class
• Light sweater - the plane gets very cool during transit
• Snacks 
• Laptop/tablet (make sure it's fully charged!)
• Book or other paperback entertainment
• Sanitizer or wipes for your tray

ANGUILLA Packing List

Sunbum spf 50 - ocean & reef safe.

Trust us, the higher coverage, the better... especially in Anguilla!! 

Sun Bum has the BEST smell, does NOT give you that 'burning' sensation, is water-resistant up to 80 minutes, and most importantly, OCEAN & REEF FRIENDLY! Before leaving Anguilla, we noticed a deeper tan with the higher SPF coverage vs the lower!

ps... if you stay at Zemi Beach House, they supply Sun Bum spf at each pool!

2 PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES

I'm not sure if it's just a me thing, but somehow, something ALWAYS happens to the ONE pair of sunglasses that I bring... and then I end up buying a pair that I don't like that much... tell me I'm not the only one this happens too?! I LOVE these bright ones from Knockaround & the best part... THEY WON'T BREAK THE BANK!

Don't let your accessories make your vacation to Anguilla, a negative one!!

GOPRO - WATERPROOF CAMERA

If you DON'T have a waterproof camera on your Grenada vacation... we need to have a serious talk! The GoPro 11 is our MAIN camera for everything , even our YouTube videos . Giving you 4K videos, amazing photos, incredible stabilization, & it's super compact! Check out our Anguilla video series HERE , and you will understand!

SNORKEL GEAR

Take a backpack/day bag.

Call me a germaphobe, but the idea of utilizing a snorkel set from the resort or a tour, that multiple other people have used... nah, I'm good! This one can get tight enough for my small head and larger enough for our son's (bigger) head & of course these water fins are the perfect size for your carry-on! 

When you get to Anguilla, exploring can be fun, but be sure to take your 'small' essentials with you in a small backpack of some sort! And if you are going ANYWHERE there will be water, take a dry bag backpack (small) or dry-pack backpack (large) instead! There is nothing worse than wanting to take your cell phone, other electronics, & a pair of clothes & try to keep them dry in a wet environment!!

SPF CHAPSTICK

Do  NOT leave home without this! Yes, Anguilla will have chapstick , but IT WILL COST DOUBLE! The sun gets hot and since most of the time you will be either in the sun or salty ocean, you will want to keep your lips from getting fried and dried out! Once again Sun Bum SPF 30 is one of our favorites!

SPF/UPF SHIRTS

Garbage bag & ziploc baggies.

We each brought 5 of these guys on our recent Anguilla trip! Living in Florida, we are out on the ocean & beach as much as possible and because of that, we now incorporate these SPF/UPF shirts on every vacation and beach trip that we go on. Here are Nate & Blake's SPF preference (men's), and my SPF preference (women's).

I know this sounds odd, but these were the BEST random items we brought with us to Anguilla. We are those people who like to get in a 'last ocean swim' before we catch our plane home... of course, this leaves us with soaking wet bathing suits! So we bring a few empty Ziploc baggies for those last-minute wet items & then throughout the week, we throw all our dirty clothes into a garbage sack. That way, we know what is dirty & what is clean, and we only have to do 9 loads of laundry vs 10!

You might also bring one or two regular-sized plastic grocery bags to put your sandy shoes inside! You are welcome!!

PORTABLE (SOLAR) CHARGER

What we packed to anguilla.

 I can't tell you how often this portable charger has been a HUGE lifesaver, mainly because we are NOT always conveniently sitting next to an electrical outlet. 

'I want to stay inside for an hour to charge my phone while on vacation in Anguilla'... 

SAID NO ONE EVER! 

ANGUILLA PACKING LIST CONT.

Now that we have been to both the Four Seasons Anguilla & Zemi Beach House, these are a few suggested items for you to take/consider (this is based on 8 days of travel & in a carry-on only, no checked bags). If you need to 'make' space, consider using these compression packing cubes to help with creating more room in your bag.

• Your travel outfit - comfort is key, and remember... the fewer things in your pocket & easy slip-on shoes (ALWAYS wear socks) helps get you thru security MUCH faster! 
• 3 dressy outfits - Onsite, at both resorts, there were a couple restaurants in which they said you needed to be 'formally dressed.' But honestly, we noticed people wearing nice jeans & khaki shorts as well. I think overall, they didn't want you to wear swimsuits or sweats!
• Swimsuits - I took six swimsuits for 8 days, & Nate took 6 pairs of swim trunks. Be sure to wash these off after you swim in the ocean! They will smell sour if you don't!
• 1-2 Swimsuit coverups - Be sure to have these when you go to the beach or poolside, especially if you are wanting to sit at the bartop. You must be covered, otherwise, there are beach & pool attendants that will bring you drinks and food if deisred. As an added bonus for ladies, sometimes you can double these as a 'dressy' outfit (you're welcome)
• 2 pairs of socks per day - sounds like too many, BUT we worked out every day. Not to mention, after being in flip flops/sandals all day & walking on sand, slipping into a pair of socks at the end of the day makes your feet happy... trust me!
• 2 pairs of underwear per day - once again, we worked out every day, so the extra per day was necessary
• Workout clothes - depending on how sweaty you get or if you even plan to work out, this can vary. We took 1 outfit per day that we planned on working out. 
• 4 pairs of 'regular' shorts - MOST of the time, during the day, you will be in your swimsuit & cover-up (just food for thought). Nate brought 3 pairs but was also primarily in swim trunks the entire trip.
• 5 regular t-shirts - We explored nearly everyday, so having a comfy t-shirt was nice to change into after we had gotten out of the water. 

LAST ANGUILLA PACKING LIST

• Shoes - We each brought one pair of flip flops/sandals, one pair of sneakers, & heels for me (lol... not Nate), & converse. If you are going OUTSIDE the resort, be sure to pack a pair of tennis shoes or water shoes that you don't mind getting wet or dirty ( I prefer these ). You especially want tennis shoes if you are trying to hike down to Little Bay & do some rock jumping!
• OTC drugs/supplies -  Be sure to bring EVERYTHING you usually use. Otherwise, you WILL be paying DOUBLE or get an off-brand item that doesn't work 'like normal'. Anguilla does have little shops, and a few larger grocery stores (we suggesst Albert's Marketplace & wholesale or the Best Buy West). Both resorts had an onsight boutique with your basic necessities, but if you are looking for something specific try either the grocery stores or the medical clinic.

STAYING AT zemi beach house in anguilla

The zemi beach house in a snapshot.

Zemi Beach House can be found on Shoal Bay East & if you didn't know, this is a Hilton Hotel & part of the LXR Collection Hotels. We stayed for a total of 7 nights/ 8 days, and if we were to stay again, we think 5 or 6 nights would have been plenty of time to visit & explore Anguilla. Click HERE for us to get you a free quote!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ( click HERE to see the resort map) :

•  Hilton owned property (make sure to set up your free rewards account prior to arrival so you can get points towards a future stay with HIlton)

• 8 miles (20 minutes) from Blowing Point Ferry Terminal (if coming from SXM) 
• Located on Shoal Bay (East) 
• Nearby walkable restaurants via the beach (we ate at Tropical Sunset, Olas, & Madearimans and really enjoyed them all) 
• Excellent breakfast buffet available daily at 20 Knots (our room included the breakfast, but I am not sure this is included on a regular basis or not) 
• 2 full restaurants - 20 Knots & Stone  
• Rhum Room - Rum tasting & cigar lounge/room (only one on the Island) 
• Outdoor Bar & Lounge (covered)- Bohio  
• 2 pools - one located on the beach (family-friendly), 2nd located in the middle of the resort, and is more of a quieter adult area. The 2nd pool has a lap pool attached as part of the infinity pool. 
• SunBum Sunscreen can be found (free of charge) at both pools, along with bottled water (free of charge)
• All beach chairs & cabanas are first come, first serve (free of charge) & there are always beach and pool attendants to assist with any chairs/cabanas and will get everything set up for you. You can also order beverages and food with them as well. We never had issues with getting a chair, but we also went during 'off-season', so this may be different depending on the time of year you visit 
• Full service Spa (Thai-style experience) with a juice bar and hammam. See the menu here
• Small gym with basic necessities to get in a quick workout with towels & water supplied (free weights, yoga mats, ellipticals, arm & leg machines, one bike & 3 treadmills (the treadmills were all having issues and 'skipping' when we tried using them, so be cautious)

2 things that are note worthy & I feel could be an easy 'fix' if addressed:  

• Water in rooms (shower & tub) was cool to lukewarm majority of our stay. If you let the water run for about 10 minutes, it did heat up
• All 3 Treadmills in the gym need to be fixed or replaced

The resort was absolutely stunning & beautifully built. Be warned, it is a HUGE resort & depending on where your room is on-site, it can be a bit of a walk to the different areas. It was VERY easy to miss the stairs to Half Shell Beach Bar, so be sure to ask the staff or take a walk/golf cart ride around the resort to check things out.

The Instagram Guide to Anguilla

Escape to this Caribbean island for peace and pampering.

Editor's note: We encourage our readers to check the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website  for up-to-date information on how to safely travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hop over to the Caribbean island of  Anguilla , about an  hour ferry ride away  from St. Maarten, for a laidback vacation of lounging on shimmering white sand beaches, snorkeling in the crystal-clear water, and exploring a mix of top-notch resorts and lowkey local spots. Though the island is only 35 square miles, renting a car will give you the freedom to wander on a whim. Still, nobody will judge you for spending your entire stay in a hammock under a coconut tree! Whether you come to the island for relaxation or adventure, we've rounded up some ideas, below, for an idyllic stay in Anguilla.

Dive Into Meads Bay

A post shared by Michelle Stansbury (@discoverwithmichelle) A photo posted by on

Grab a snorkel, paddleboard, or sailboat and enjoy the crystal clear visibility of Meads Bay. With impressive coral reefs, diverse marine life, and silky soft white sand, Meads Bay is the perfect spot to post up for a beach day.

Stay at the Four Seasons

Set on a bluff between two beaches,  The Four Seasons Anguilla  is a five-star resort with luxurious accommodations and a prime location. For an over-the-top experience, book one of the villas, which offer between two and five bedrooms and come with their own private infinity pool and hot tub.

Get a Taste of Anguilla’s History

SALT restaurant  first wows you with the incredible ocean views and then pays homage to Anguilla’s history. Anguilla was once a major producer of salt, exporting up to 90,000 barrels annually. Although the salt is no longer commercially harvested or exported today, you can still taste some of the locally produced salt at the namesake restaurant.

Go Robinson Crusoe on Sandy Island

Just a 10-minute boat ride off "mainland" Anguilla is the pristine cay of  Sandy Island , where you will feel a world away from the stresses of everyday life. A solar powered beach bar and grill serves up cold drinks and fresh lobster on picnic tables for a chance to unplug.

Listen to Local Music

Sip cocktails over Barnes Bay while enjoying live music from local island favorite artist  Omalie 360 . Or, see what cover bands are playing at the beach bars around Anguilla. Either way, the warm nights and rum punch will have you dancing along to island tunes.

Stay In The Know

Marie Claire email subscribers get intel on fashion and beauty trends, hot-off-the-press celebrity news, and more. Sign up here.

Visit The Arch

One of Anguilla’s most iconic spots, The Arch is a natural wonder carved out of the island’s limestone cliffs on the far southwestern coast.

Go Crazy for Crayfish

Anguilla is known for its crayfish—and for good reason! Crayfish, also known as spotted spiny lobster, is sweet and buttery with a soft, decadent texture and no fishy taste. Try it at  Blanchards Restaurant , a charming spot on the beach that is regarded as one of the best restaurants in Anguilla.

Kayak in the Dark

Kayaking gets a disco twist with  Liquid Glow Kayak  in Island Harbour, where the kayaks glow in the dark. Through your transparent kayak, check out turtles sleeping at the bottom of the sea and even Ballyhoo fishes that may or may not try to jump in your kayak!

Traveling to Anguilla: A Complete Guide

Everything You Need to Know Before You Visit Anguilla

Anguilla is a small Caribbean island popular as a luxury and private getaway for Hollywood celebrities.

Anguilla is the low-key alternative for St. Barts. While celebrities visit St. Barts to be seen, they visit Anguilla to get away from the media.

That doesn’t mean it’s less lavish though, and it also doesn’t mean you can only travel to Anguilla if you’re ready to spend a lot of money. In fact, Anguilla is also an easy and popular day trip from St Maarten .

The island of Anguilla is also one of the least visited Caribbean islands , which makes it a more unspoilt destination, that generally caters to more high-end and private getaways.

In this Anguilla travel guide I’ll share all the information you need to plan a perfect visit to Anguilla. From things to do on the island and where to stay, to how to get here and general things to know about the island.

Let’s start with some general information that’s useful if you plan to travel to Anguilla.

Where is Anguilla?

Anguilla is part of the Leeward Islands or the group of islands in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles.

It is located nine miles (14.5 km) north of St. Maarten and one hundred and fifty miles (240 km) east of Puerto Rico which are also the closest islands that have direct connections to Anguilla.

Quick Facts About Anguilla Island

• Anguilla is a British territory , therefore the citizens are British passport holders.
• Anguilla is a Spanish word for eel because the island is eel-shaped.
• Anguilla is only 16 miles (around 26 km) long and 3.5 miles (6 km) wide.
• Like the Cayman Islands , Anguilla is a tax haven as there are no capital gains or any form of taxation for foreigners.
• There are a total of 33 public beaches in Anguilla. One of them is listed here as one of the best beaches in the world .
• Because the island is small, there are only 16,000 residents living on the island.
• Unlike the more popular luxury islands in the Caribbean , such as St. Barts and St. Lucia , there are very few cruise ships visiting Anguilla. This is ideal for those who want to avoid the crowds that large numbers of cruise ships bring to other islands.
• The island is so laid back that it doesn’t have cinemas, shopping malls, high-rise buildings, or casinos.
• The currency in Anguilla is the Eastern Caribbean dollar but US dollars are widely accepted.
• The power plugs and sockets used on the island are of type A, which is the same as in the USA. The standard voltage is 110 V.
• Cars drive on the left, and if you want to rent a car while visiting Anguilla you’ll need a local driving license. Any car rental agency on the island will help you get this license, you simply have to pay the fee to obtain one.

Do You Need A Visa To Visit Anguilla?

Visa requirements depend on your citizenship. For specific information per country check the visa requirements on Anguilla’s government website .

Traveling to Anguilla as a US or Canadian Citizen

You don’t need a visa if you’re traveling to Anguilla as a US or Canadian citizen and are staying for less than 90 days.

Make sure to bring a valid passport with you. Unlike the nearby US Virgin Islands , Anguilla is not a US territory and a passport is required for American citizens as well.

Traveling to Anguilla as a British Citizen or EU Citizen

As a British territory, British citizens can enter Anguilla visa-free for three months but accommodation must be booked prior to arrival. The same thing applies to EU citizens.

For Other Countries That Require a Visa to Visit Anguilla

You can find a list of all nationalities who require a visa here .

However, if you already have a valid UK tourist visa, you don’t need to apply for an additional visa to visit Anguilla.

As an additional requirement, make sure that your passport is valid for at least another 6 months from the time you travel to Anguilla.

How To Get to Anguilla

American Airlines offers direct flights to Anguilla from Miami, Florida.

But otherwise, a popular way to get to Anguilla is to fly to St. Maarten first or to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

From St. Maarten you can take the ferry to Anguilla or if you prefer to travel via Puerto Rico you can take a short flight from San Juan to Anguilla.

Traveling to Anguilla By Plane

If you are flying from North America, you have the option to fly from Miami to Anguilla, or from many North American airports to San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Maarten.

From Europe, flights to San Juan and St. Maarten are generally your best option.

From San Juan and St. Maarten, there are daily flights to Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd Airport.

The flight from San Juan to Anguilla takes a little over an hour and the flight from St. Maarten a mere 10 minutes.

Please note that all travelers departing Anguilla by air will need to pay a US$28 departure tax (discounts apply for children). Only cash is accepted.

Traveling to Anguilla By Ferry

There are several direct flights from the USA and from Europe to St. Maarten. A lot of people wanting to travel to Anguilla therefore choose to fly to St. Maarten first.

From St. Martin (the French side of the island), it’s just a quick ferry ride to Anguilla.

The Anguilla Ferry System runs between Marigot (the capital of the French side of St. Martin) and Blowing Point (Anguilla).

There are normally 8 daily departures in each direction. From Marigot the first ferry departs at 9:30 am, and from Anguilla the first ferry departs at 8:30 am. You can find a full list of departure times on the official website here .

The regular one-way fare is US$30 per adult and US$20 for children under 12 years old, plus a US$5 St Martin departure tax.

Do note that the ferry schedule is weather-dependent and can change depending on high and low season. I, therefore, recommend checking the schedule for the day as soon as you arrive and expect some waiting time.

Unfortunately, you can’t make reservations for these public ferries online.

Everyone traveling to and from Anguilla by ferry must clear Customs & Immigration at the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal.

When you are leaving Anguilla by ferry you’ll have to pay a departure tax in the ferry terminal. The fee varies depending on the age and whether you’re leaving Anguilla permanently or not. You can pay by credit card or in cash.

Things To Do In Anguilla

1. enjoy the white sand beaches.

There’s nothing more quintessential in the Caribbean than enjoying its beaches.

Despite being small, Anguilla has 33 public beaches for visitors to enjoy. Relax on these palm-dotted white sand shores, enjoy the turquoise water and just appreciate life in Anguilla.

Among the top beaches in Anguilla are Shoal Bay , Meads Bay, Sandy Ground Village, Rendezvous Bay and Maundays Beach.

If you want to snorkel , Shoal Bay and Maundays Beach are good choices, and if you just want to relax at the beach, head to Rendezvous or Meads Bay.

If you want to enjoy the island’s nightlife after a full day of swimming, then head to Sandy Ground Village. This fish hook-shaped bay is a popular nightlife spot and it’s also the main port for yachts.

2. Learn About History in Anguilla’s Only Museum

Anguilla only has one museum but this museum is packed with information and history of the island.

You can learn more about the history of Anguilla, its geology, the history of Arawaks, the sugar industry on the island, and also the history of slavery in the Heritage Collection Museum .

Learn about the Arawaks (or Taino) that played a big role in the Caribbean’s agriculture. They are a peaceful farming tribe whose history dates back to prehistoric times.

And you can learn more about how the sugar industry in Anguilla contributed to slavery.

3. Explore the Fountain Cavern National Park

The Fountain Cavern National Park is the oldest known ceremonial cave site in the Caribbean and it’s the top archaeological site in Anguilla.

This underground cave was used by Amerindians as a place of worship based on the number of petroglyphs in the rocks.

One of the most significant features in this cave is the 16-foot tall stalagmite carved in the shape of Jocahu – the supreme being of Taino Indians.

And although the cavern itself is closed to the public, the park can be explored, you can learn more about the cavern and there is a short trail.

4. Visit Anguilla’s Only Surviving Plantation House

Wallblake House is the oldest structure on the island. Built by sugar planter Will Blake in 1787, it is one of the fully intact plantation homes in the Caribbean.

A tour of this plantation home will give you a glimpse of life in Anguilla in the 1700s.

The slave quarters, living room, and kitchen remained intact and they are some of the highlights of the house. The house also showcases Anguilla’s history through the exhibits.

The house is open to the public but tours must be booked in advance.

5. Go Scuba Giving in Anguilla

Anguilla is also a popular diving destination in the Caribbean. With seven marine parks and intentionally sunken ships, it is thriving with marine life and artificial reefs. If you are a professional diver or an aspiring one, Anguilla is a paradise.

The seven marine parks in Anguilla are considered some of the best diving spots in the Caribbean and there are dive sites that cater to both novice and experienced divers.

If you’re into wreck diving, there are lots of options in Anguilla. A popular wreck dive in Anguilla is the wreck of Sarah , a sunken ship and the largest wreck in Anguilla at 232 feet long. Unlike other ships around Anguilla that were intentionally sunk, this ship was a victim of a hurricane in 1984.

Meppel and Oosterdiep are also good wreck dives. Meppel played a big role in the battle of Dunkirk in World War II before it sank while Oosterdiep was intentionally sunk by the government when it drifted ashore.

6. Enjoy a Sunset Sail on a Historic Rum-Smuggling Sailboat

Anguilla’s coastline is beautiful, and what better way to experience that than on a historic boat with a cocktail in your hand!

Step aboard a former Caribbean rum-smuggling sailboat and sail along the Anguilla coastline while enjoying Champagne cocktails, a premium open bar, and house-made hors d’oeuvres.

Where to Stay in Anguilla

Anguilla caters to the more discerning travelers hence the price of accommodation is higher than in other parts of the Caribbean.

But you can still find some places that won’t break the bank and visit Anguilla on a budget. Or, as I mentioned before, Anguilla is also a popular day trip from St Maarten , where accommodation is generally cheaper.

Below are the places we stayed in when we traveled to Anguilla.

1. Anguilla Great House Beach Resort

This place is not as luxurious (and rooms are dated) as the other hotels we stayed at in Anguilla but it has a nice garden, a nice beachfront and a nice view of the coast.

Plus, Anguilla Great House Beach Resort is located in Rendezvous Bay which makes it easy to get around.

The staff is wonderful and if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly place to stay when visiting Anguilla, this resort is a good option.

2. Four Seasons Resort and Residences

If you have the budget to splurge, I recommend staying in the Four Seasons.

Four Seasons is well known as a luxury resort chain and so far, their resort in Anguilla is my favorite.

The resort is beautifully landscaped and located in one of the best spots in Anguilla. The resort has three restaurants and a sunset bar which non-hotel guests also go to for sundowners.

Book one of the rooms with an outdoor jacuzzi for a romantic Caribbean getaway .

It’s a perfect resort for a stress-free vacation.

Where to Eat in Anguilla

To finish this Anguilla travel guide I’d like to share with you some of the best places to eat.

The island might be small but it’s packed with amazing restaurants. It is said that there are over 100 restaurants here.

There is also a great variety of cuisines on the island so if you are tired of the local fare, you have other options to try out.

And, there are restaurants to fit any budget, so no worries about going bankrupt when eating out in Anguilla.

1. Blanchards Beach Shack

Blanchards Beach Shack in Meads Bay is a popular lunch spot in Anguilla. Not only because it offers a great view of the ocean but also because of its reasonably priced food and amazing meals.

This beach shack offers a wide range of comfort food from burgers to chicken platters, tacos (highly recommended!), and wraps.

Per person, expect to pay between US$10-20 for your meal.

The beach shack is open from 12pm to 8pm, which also makes it a great spot to enjoy a sundowner.

If you are looking to splurge or are celebrating a special occasion, I recommend trying Pimms.

At this beautiful restaurant located right on the beach, you can’t only enjoy a great meal in a fantastic setting, but if you’re lucky you might even see a barracuda and other fish swim near your table.

I recommend trying the lobster bisque, the crawfish, and the red snapper.

Most of the dishes here cost over US$40 but it’s all worth it!

Traveling to Anguilla – Conclusion

There you have it, all of my tips to make the most of your visit to Anguilla.

2 thoughts on “Traveling to Anguilla: A Complete Guide”

Can you bring any food with you from the US to Anguilla? Fruit bars for kids, biscuits, anything?

Yes, things like sealed fruit bars and a sealed package of cookies, crisps, etc., should be fine.

I’m not sure if you can’t, but I wouldn’t bring any fruit, cheese or meat with me to Anguilla. So I wouldn’t pack sandwiches for the kids, for example. Just to be sure.

An Itinerary for an Island Getaway to Anguilla

Anguilla is a those lesser-known Caribbean island compared to some of its more famous neighbors {ahem, like the Bahamas because #bahamamama} While that may mean more limited flight schedules, it also means seclusion and gorgeous {not super populated} beaches — the perfect winter {or any time of year} escape for sun, sand, and peace + quiet. Keep reading for everything you need to know about an island getaway to Anguilla. 

How to Get There

While getting to Anguilla is not always the easiest to get to, it is definitely worth the trip.  The runway at Clayton J. Lloyd Airport in Anguilla is not large enough to accept commercial jets, so you have a few options for how to get there — fly directly into Anguilla from a neighboring Caribbean island on a smaller prop plane or fly directly into St. Martin and take a ferry boat over.  The ferry is about 45 minutes and is a really fun way to travel and clear your lungs of all that airplane air while sipping a rum punch in the sunshine {sounds solid to us}.

Where to Stay

Malliouhana { meads bay}.

Perched at the opposite end of Meads Bay from the Four Seasons, Malliouhana is a gem atop a cliff. This resort is a retro decor lovers paradise — painted rattan chairs in cool ocean tones, mirror tiles in the floors, and bold stripes at the pools decorate the property. Although the beach is a few steps down the hill and not right out the front door, it is worth every step. The beach is bluer than you can imagine and with no major resorts aside from the Four Seasons sharing the beach, you will have the beach almost completely to yourself.

Four Seasons Resort Anguilla {Barnes Bay, West End}

The Four Seasons Anguilla is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful resorts in the world.  Located at the end of a point, the resort is sandwiched between two beaches : Meads Bay and Barnes Bay. The resort is peppered with spectacular artwork everywhere you turn. The property’s original owners carefully constructed the resort, filling it with sculptures costing millions of dollars and artwork that should be hanging in the Louvre. But don’t worry  — the resort still has a very seaside, casual feel. Sit in the Sunset Lounge for the most perfect view of the sun setting.

Belmond Cap Juluca {Maundays Bay}

Suites with their own pools and stand-alone villas are sprinkled up and down the beach at Cap Juluca. The resort recently got a complete makeover and the new look is stunning. The Belmond brand is synonymous with refined luxury around the world and Cap Juluca is no exception.

Where to Eat

^ Some of the delicious crayfish you can get in Anguilla!

Despite Anguilla’s small size and very small population, it has some of the best restaurants in the entire Caribbean. Choosing where to eat will likely be a lengthy and difficult decision, but these are a few of the best:

Blanchard’s {Meads Bay}

Blanchard’s is one of the most popular restaurants in all of Anguilla and for good reason. Bob and Melinda Blanchard opened up this joint back in 1994 when they sold everything they owned to move to Anguilla. They serve up local specialties like grilled Anguillan crayfish in the restaurant’s adorable cottage setting. If you love their food but want a more laid back meal, consider visiting their beach shack located adjacent to the main building for some more casual seaside fare.

Veya { Reverend Carty Road, Sandy Ground}

The owners of Veya have dubbed its food as the “cuisine of the sun”, which means you can expect a lot of exotic flavors, some you’ve probably never tried before. Indian spiced yellow pea soup, snapper sauteed with mint, and warm chocolate cake with chili demonstrate these unique flavors that the restaurant is so well-known for. The restaurant has a bit of a treehouse feel with big windows that open up to the lush grounds that surround it. Sit up in the trees and enjoy the live music that they feature every night, like local musical legend Omari Banks.

Jacala {Meads Bay}

Owners Jacques and Alain {hence the name Jacala} brought French cuisine to the Caribbean in a big way. The atmosphere at Jacala is much quieter than that of other restaurants. When guests walk in, they’ll immediately feel at home in the quiet space. 

da’Vida {Cocus Bay}

Located in the laid back and quiet Crocus Bay, elegant da’Vida is the only building to be found on the entire stretch of sand. It is truly worth the drive down the steep and windy road to get here. The fine-dining menu includes deliciousness such as seared Chinese spiced chicken, pan-seared miso grouper, and conch carpaccio.

Johnno’s Prickly Pear {Prickly Pear}

Johnno’s is not just your average restaurant that you can catch a taxi to. In order to visit Johnno’s, diners must take a boat out to Prickly Pear, a pair of uninhabited cays off the coast of Anguilla. The boat will pull up and visitors have to hop out into the water to make it onshore. Once there, it’s hard not to notice that the island doesn’t have electricity.  The restaurant operates by a generator. Guests can dig elbows deep into huge platters of fresh-grilled seafood , jump in the ocean to wash it all off, and take a walk around the island to check out the local birds that inhabit it.

Although small, there is no shortage of things to do on the island of Anguilla. Here are a few must-do activities .

Visit Sandy Island

^ The view from Sandy Island!

Standing on the beach in the little village of Sandy Ground, many likely think to themselves that Anguilla can’t get much prettier. But then they’ll ll gaze out onto the horizon and see a little speck of an island and realize that it can get much, much prettier. That little speck of an island is known as Sandy Island {perfectly descriptive} and is accessible only by boat. The tiny little boat known as “Happiness” leaves Sandy Ground every hour and heads out to this little island.

Once there, hop in the water for some snorkeling and when you come out, head straight over to the bar. You’ll likely have worked up an appetite with all that swimming. It’s the perfect place to order a big plate of fresh grilled crayfish and rice and beans, a delicious local specialty. Sandy Island is definitely one of those places visitors will be thinking about long after they’ve returned home.

Take a Day Trip to St. Martin

The best part of Anguilla is how quiet it is, but that also means there is not much by way of shopping. Consider taking a boat ride over to neighboring St. Martin and get a fill of Caribbean culture and shopping. Visit either the French side known as St. Martin or the Dutch side of Sint Maarten which is unique to this island.

Ride Tiger Boats

Picture a jet ski with essentially an inflatable bumper around the edges — that is a tiger boat. The bumper gives riders a sturdier feel and helps them feel like they won’t be knocked off. On a tiger boat, people can ride into the smaller coves that larger boats can’t get into and can really explore the coastline and that turquoise water. It’s a great way to be out on the water without being on a large boat.

Mix tropical adventure with island relaxation in Anguilla

Nov 17, 2021 • 5 min read

Shipwrecks lay in ruins on the shores of Sandy Ground Beach, on the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean. (3415)

Sponsored by

Anguilla as a vacation destination can be described as a "best of both worlds" Caribbean paradise. 

For the traveler whose vacation dream is simply walking along a stretch of powdery white sand, Anguilla's 33 beaches are in a class by themselves. Grab a book, grab a drink, and decompress in near-perfect 80-degree temperatures.

For the traveler who likes to take in all that a destination has to offer, Anguilla aims to please. Scenic diversions range from boat charters, island hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, paddle boarding, golf, tennis, ATV routes, horseback riding, and a nightlife scene offering legendary food, music, and drink.

Anguilla By Sea

A day trip to  Prickly Pear  Cays is one of Anguilla's most popular island excursions. Imagine arriving on an uninhabited white sand beach that is perfect for snorkeling. Swim, birdwatch, sip a cocktail, or go exploring on Prickly Pear. Top off your day with a scrumptious meal at the Prickly Pear Bar & Restaurant. Excursions can be booked through boat charter services such as  Calypso Charters Anguilla .

The  Gourmet Catamaran Excursion  is smooth sailing aboard a luxury cruising boat. You and seven other passengers will enjoy an itinerary featuring ocean views, beaches, and gastronomy. On your trip, you'll view Anguilla's best beaches, islands, and cays, with opportunities to snorkel, paddleboard, and kayak, although the highlight of the adventure just might be the four-course gourmet lunch served aboard.

Since 1984, vacationers have made the half-day trip to  Sandy Island  an integral part of their Anguilla escape. Departing from Sandy Ground, your arrival at this one-mile strip of sand might feel like stepping into "Robinson Crusoe." Once your toes are in the sand, enjoy drinks, food, music, and chats with the occasional yachtie coming on-site to see what's happening.

Additionally, many accommodation options on the island make exploring the ocean easy. The Carimar Beach Club , for example, has a concierge that can help you book excursions and offers free rentals of snorkeling equipment. Or, simply enjoy the easy beach access offered by most hotels such as Royal Palms Holiday Suites , which also features a secluded pool. 

Anguilla By Land

Most vacationers are surprised to learn that Anguilla is home to a world-class golf course. Seven of the 18 holes at the Greg Norman-designed  Aurora International Golf Club  are along the ocean, with panoramic views of St. Maarten. Aurora's Mediterranean-style clubhouse deck also delivers amazing views after your round. 

For tennis lovers, there's the  Anguilla Tennis Academy  located near Blowing Point. This ultra-modern facility features six courts, a locker room, and a pro shop. Just to remind you that you're playing tennis in Anguilla, the facility is surrounded by palm trees. 

Seaside Stables Anguilla  is a private ranch, and it's the place to go for anyone who has ever dreamed of riding a horse along a deserted beach. Seaside's Paso Fino horses are said to be some of the most gentle and smoothest riding horses in the world.

Anguilla on wheels

One of the best ways to experience Anguilla is to  rent a car  and just drive. When you see a photo opportunity - pull over. When you see an exciting restaurant - pull over. When you see an entrance sign for a secluded beach or snazzy hotel - pull over. There is a $25 fee for a temporary driver's license while on the island. Most rental car companies will deliver your desired ride right to your hotel.

If you're a vacationer who likes a bit of flair in their automobile, look into renting a Moke from  Moke Anguilla . These open-air vehicles are a cross between a golf cart and a jeep. Mokes display a rainbow of colors and tout colorful names such as "Mango," "Starfish," and "Flamingo."

Malliouhana Resort  on Meads Bay sits on 25 luxurious acres. A pedaling tour is a relaxing way to take in the resort amenities, flowers, and landscape. Hop on a cruiser bicycle and make your way along their paved bike paths threading throughout the property.

Trying a new activity on Anguilla

If your children accompany you on your Anguilla vacation, consider signing them up for a sailing lesson with the  Anguilla Youth Sailing Club . After checking in on the beach at Sandy Ground, a certified instructor will train your child on one of their Hobie Cat sailboats.

If you've never tried stand-up paddleboarding, then  Anguilla Watersports  will make a believer out of you. Their instructors teach newbies about technique, balance, and building your core strength. Anguilla's calm waters are the perfect place to learn this fun and relaxing sport.

Wouldn't it be great to bring your favorite Anguilla beach memory home with you?  AnguillArts  offers painting classes and parties by the Caribbean Sea. Contact owner Karen Vendetti for details on setting up a painting party or attending one of her classes. 

Anguilla By Night

For some, an Anguilla island vacation is all about making a magic moment. One of the best places to take in an Anguilla sunset is the aptly named  Sunset Lounge at the Four Seasons . Located on dreamy Barnes Bay, this bar and restaurant proposes toasting your sunset experience with one of their vintage rums. 

Speaking of rum, discover a new favorite by attending the Rum Master Class at the  Aurora Anguilla Resort . Peruse their extensive selection of white rums, dark rums, and premium-aged rums. When in Anguilla, sip as the Anguillans do.

On your final night on the island, go all out at reggae legend Bankie Banx's  Dune Preserve . This beach bar on Rendezvous Bay is a tribute to driftwood construction, live music, and all things Caribbean. Order up a plate of delicious barbecue and a refreshing rum punch. Even once you've returned home, there's still Bankie's song "Still in Paradise" to remind you of your Anguillan adventures.

Everything You Need To Know About Visiting Anguilla (& What To Do There)

Quick links, a brief history of anguilla, what to know of anguilla today, visiting anguilla & what to see and do.

The Caribbean is full of small independent island nations and territories . Anguilla is one of the British Overseas Territories and is one of the great places to visit in the Caribbean. Anguilla is a stunning tropical island that is frequently overshadowed by major Caribbean destinations like the Virgin Islands and Punta Cana.

Anguilla is a rewarding Caribbean destination with its own identity and heritage. Another British Overseas Territory to explore in the Caribbean is Montserrat whose capital has been covered by volcanic ash similar to Pompeii.

It is possible that Christopher Columbus was the first to see the island, although this remains a matter of debate.

• Status: British Overseas Territory
• Official Language: English

The island was caught up in the centuries-long rivalry between the European powers for control of the islands in the Caribbean. The Dutch arrived in 1631 and built a fort there (which was destroyed by the Spanish just two years later). The first English settlers seem to have arrived in 1650 from Saint Kitts.

The French took over the island in 1666 briefly, but it was soon back in English hands (the French would also attack in 1688, 1745, and 1798).

The indigenous population mostly disappeared within decades of the Europeans arriving and today most of the Anguillans are descendants of the African slaves the Europeans brought to work the plantations. Slavery was completely outlawed by the British in 1834.

After briefly becoming independent of British rule and an associated state of Saint Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla during the 1960s, the Anguillans decided to return to being a British colony.

21 Famous People on Their Favorite Sheets

In our column “What I Can’t Live Without,” we’ve interviewed hundreds of famous people about their favorite products — and here, we’re going deep into their favorite bedding . Whether they run hot, care deeply about their top sheet, or just buy what their spouse recommends, the stars are just like us — they sleep best with their favorite set of sheets. And while the list includes some pricier brands, like Frette and D. Porthault, there are plenty of more affordable options in the mix, too, including sets from Strategist-favorite brands Brooklinen and Parachute. To help you peruse their picks, we’ve organized this list by category — sets and standalone pieces — and in cases where more than one celebrity recommended the same bedding, we’ve included all of their quotes. For your convenience, all prices listed are for queen-size sheets unless otherwise specified.

Nikki Glaser “I don’t really allow a lot of luxury in my life because I’m a self-loathing comedian, but this always makes me feel really rich and just the way I should be treating myself — the way everyone should treat themselves is to have things like Cozy Earth sheets. They feel buttery and cooling and just elite.” — May 2024

Dominique Ansel “I don’t sleep much, but when I sleep, I like to sleep well. It was only after I’d been in the U.S. ten, 15 years that I started to appreciate bedsheets. I remember going to a very nice hotel once and slept so well, then looking at the bedsheets and they were these. They’re smooth, soft, and high quality.” — January 2022

Gail Simmons  “I bought some linen sheets from a fancy Italian linen brand when we moved into our home a few years ago, and we loved them because linen is just the most comfortable fabric. It gets softer the more you wash, and more worn in, in this great way. Well, we wore them in so much that we got holes in them. Then we thought, Parachute is so approachable, we might as well try them . Now, we’ve had them for three months, and we love them. They’re great linen sheets that won’t cost you a crazy amount.” — October 2017

Rachel Antonoff “Sheets are one of those products you’re tricked into thinking are better the more expensive they are. These sheets are certainly not cheap, but after having slept on Frette sheets, I think these are just as soft and lovely. I’ve been using them for about five years now. I don’t remember who recommended them to me, but I do vaguely remember saying to someone, ‘Oh my God, these are the greatest sheets I’ve ever felt. Don’t even tell me how much they cost.’ And they leaned in and they were like, ‘Lands’ End.’” — December 2023

Molly Baz “My gift to myself after signing my second book deal was in some ways the gift of rest, something I knew I was going to need a lot of to pull another book off. I splurged on a brand new set of Tekla bedding — I love Tekla, but it’s not cheap! — and went for the whole shebammy. Duvet cover, pillow covers, top and bottom sheets. If you’re wondering how this relates to my kitchen? Yup, you guessed it. They were all the color of butter.” — June 2023

Perfume Genius “I’m kind of obsessed with bedding and am always trying to perfect the whole experience. I resisted linen sheets because I always thought they’d be scratchy. But linen makes the most sense to me. I sleep really hot. They are soft but feel sturdy and delicate at the same time. They breathe, and it feels kind of luxe but in a natural way” — June 2022

Beverly Johnson “The best sheets ever. They’re beautiful to sleep in. I only bought them recently because I always felt they were a little exorbitant to just buy randomly — I could never justify them even though I always wanted them. But I had a session with my life coach, and we talked about how I need to be nice to Beverly and be good to Beverly and just start seizing the moment, so one day I decided to splurge and get the sheets. I realized I’m worth it. And now I know why everyone raves about them.” — December 2020

Mike Piazza “I have to give credit where credit’s due: This is my wife. When we started dating, she said, ‘You have the most disgusting sheets I’ve ever seen.’ I was not into bedding or sheets, but now I’m hooked. We love sheets, but they have to be very high thread-count sheets, like Frette’s.” — October 2020

Mario Dedivanovic “I’ve moved like nine or ten times in the past ten years. So I’ve gone through lots of different sheets, but I never spent a lot of money on them. When I bought my first home two or three years ago, my interior designer Ryan Corbin was like, ‘No, I need to get you your sheets,’ and he got them from Frette. Now, I could never go back to my Bed Bath & Beyond sheets. There’s such a big difference in the quality and the way they feel.” — December 2019

Melanie C  “I remember one of the first hotels the Spice Girls stayed at was the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, which is just the most fabulous hotel you can imagine … And of course, all of these hotels have one thing in common, and they all have incredible beds with the most beautiful bed linen. So you quite quickly think, I could get used to this . I actually bought this set for my brother — he moved into a house just before Christmas. He’d bought himself a nice new bed, and on his Christmas list was to get some nice bed linen. So I treated him. It’s not cheap, but there’s nothing better after a soak in the aforementioned bath, getting into some Egyptian cotton bed sheets.” — April 2020

Suzanne Somers  “I used to buy these really expensive sheets that I had to take to the laundromat to have specially washed. The whole thing was expense on expense on expense. I saw an ad for the Boll and Branch brand several years ago, so I ordered a set, and you know what, I like these better. They’re not cheap either, but they don’t need ironing, and the more you wash them, the softer they get.” — April 2020

Missy Robbins “About two or three years ago, I saw a bunch of ads for these, and I guess they worked because I’ve been using the sheets ever since. I just bought new ones because I upgraded to a king-size bed. I’m super-picky about what goes on my bed. I like everything to be really soft. I want to be super-cozy, but I don’t want to sweat to death; these have that balance I like. They’re also so soft and clean-looking. I’m a clean, white-sheet type of person.” — December 2019

Rita Konig “My mother had these linens when I was a child, and really no one else has done prints like D. Porthault. They’re just so crisp and pretty; sometimes a bed can become a real white marshmallow mountain in the middle of the room, and just a little bit of pattern can add some personality. Because D. Porthault is so horribly expensive, the collecting of it is part of the fun — like, I bought my collection in stages. I got two pillowcases on sale, then I got two more, and then I got paid for a big job and bought the sheets. I’ve also bought them on eBay, but the prices aren’t that great anymore — though sometimes an old lady dies in Des Moines and the estate will put a whole collection on there.” — October 2019

Irene Neuwirth “My interior designer Sarah Shetter tipped me off to these sheets. My boyfriend is very particular and won’t touch anything linen, but these are the softest, most beautiful cotton sheets I’ve ever felt. I have a seashell color and a light blue. They’re just really, really beautiful. I would almost say that above everything in my house, they’re my favorite thing.” — August 2019

Standalone pieces

Lynda Carter “I prefer sateen as opposed to the percale because sateen has the ply going both ways, so it lies flatter and it has less of a tendency to pill. The fabric flattens even more and gets silkier the more you wash it. They feel like hotel sheets. I always go with white. Sometimes, I get something with a little gold and silver on them or some kind of something.” — December 2023

Lucy DeVito “My mom, Rhea Perlman, introduced me to the brand. She loves a throw, like swung over the couch. I got this comforter in the ginger color for my dressing room for the play. I wanted to make the room really cozy. I’ll nap there on the cot on a two-show day. The blanket is organic cotton, baby soft, mid-weight, earth-toned — check, check, check, check. ” — December 2023

Claire Saffitz “When I was a kid, my aunt gave my sisters and me all satin pillowcases, and since then I’ve loved sleeping on a cold pillow. As an adult, I got a silk one because it’s supposed to be great for your skin and hair. I do feel like my hair dries out less when I’m sleeping on this, and if I sleep on a cotton pillowcase, I’ll wake up with creases in my skin … I can’t sleep without it now.” — November 2022

Kourtney Kardashian “I always have to sleep on a silk pillowcase. I remember when I was maybe 15, and one of my mom’s best friends, she was an actress, told us the No. 1 beauty tip is to sleep on a silk pillowcase. I’ve done it since I was in high school. And now I travel with mine. If I’m going anywhere for more than, like, two nights, then I definitely bring my silk pillowcase.” — October 2019

Kristen Bell  “When I first put the silk pillowcase on my pillow, I thought to myself, Is this who I am now? I’m the girl who blindly follows the silk-pillowcase fad? But a follower I am. So I put it on and didn’t think twice about it again. But the other morning I woke up, walked into the kitchen, and my husband said, ‘Hon, what’s up with your hair?’ I looked in the mirror and half of my head was completely normal, soft, non-tangled hair, and the other side looked like I was attacked in my sleep. I realized in the middle of the night I had switched to my back and slept on another pillow. And the side that looked great could only have been credited to my silk pillowcase! It was an accidental side-by-side experiment and the silk pillowcase won by a factor of a million.” — December 2018

Felix Burrichter “I came to Magniberg looking specifically for black sheets. Some black sheets can look a little tacky — like very satiny and as if they would come with a pair of handcuffs and maybe a whip. What’s special about Magniberg’s black sheets is they’re a very deep black with a matte finish. It’s a beautiful color. They’re all cotton, so they’re very soft to touch and silky smooth.” — August 2021

Jon Gray “I like the cotton they use. It’s not too hot; it just feels good. Being able to get into comfortable sheets just makes all the difference. Plus, these look really fresh. I got a couple because I eat those Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups in bed sometimes, and I’ll wake up with peanut-butter or chocolate stains on the sheets. It’s not fly for a young man to live like that. I keep extra sheets on deck, so when one’s in the wash, the other one is still fresh. You feel me?” — August 2021

Editor’s note: Magniberg lists all prices in euros, so the price shown for that retailer is an approximate conversion to U.S. dollars.

Earn loyalty rewards easier: Royal Caribbean launches cruise status match program

For Royal Caribbean cruise passengers, it pays to be a repeat customer.

Royal Caribbean Group announced a new loyalty status match program on Thursday, allowing guests to get equivalent status across its Royal Caribbean International , Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises brands.

“As we orbit around our customers, this new program gives them one center of gravity to orbit around us,” president and CEO Jason Liberty told USA TODAY in an email. “We are always looking for new ways to enhance our guest experiences across our portfolio. We have many loyal guests who sail with each of our brands, and now, we are giving them new ways to explore the world, with the right product to meet them for all of life’s moments.”

How does the Royal Caribbean Group Loyalty Status Match program work?

Passengers who are enrolled in more than one of the brands’ loyalty programs can get one-for-one matches. Faithful Royal Caribbean International guests who have moved through the ranks of its Crown & Anchor Society can try a cruise with Silversea for the first time, for example, and board with equivalent-tier status in the line’s Venetian Club – and enjoy the associated perks. Travelers can find more information on the company's website.

Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity already had some limited reciprocity, but the new program is more comprehensive.

“Our new Loyalty Status Match program will allow our loyal guests to try each of our brands, and a product will exist for them without compromise,” Liberty said. Guests’ status will be automatically matched within seven days of being enrolled in more than one brand's program.

When will the program take effect?

Passengers can access onboard benefits through the status match program starting with cruises departing on or after June 5.

What are the perks of cruise loyalty programs?

Cruise line loyalty programs give guests a number of perks that can help make travel easier and save them money.

Benefits for Celebrity’s Captain’s Club members, for instance, range from a special newsletter and welcome event to specialty dining discounts and complimentary laundry, among others. Liberty said during an earnings call in April that the company was seeing repeat guests more than 30% higher than 2019.

The status match program “not only rewards our loyal guests across the fleet but adds new ways for them to experience our products and see the world,” he said in the email.

What is Korean glass skin?

To truly understand Korean skincare, one must first understand the "glass skin" phenomenon. According to Wizemann, " The glass skin effect is a term popularized by Korean skincare enthusiasts and refers to a complexion that appears exceptionally smooth, clear, and reflective, similar to glass. Achieving glass skin involves having a well-hydrated and balanced complexion with minimal visible pores, fine lines, or blemishes. This look is often achieved through a diligent skincare routine focusing on hydration, exfoliation, and nourishment. Products like hydrating serums, lightweight moisturizers, and gentle exfoliants are commonly used to help achieve this effect."

Is Korean or American skincare better?

By now, you're probably asking yourself why is Korean skincare so much better? While it's easy to pit Korean and American skincare brands against each other, it would be incorrect to say one country's skincare products are '"better" than the other. Instead, think of them as having different focuses and methodologies.

" Korean skincare routines usually concentrate on keeping the skin hydrated by layering multiple lightweight products and using gentle ingredients. There's also an emphasis on achieving a glowing complexion. American skincare often prioritizes on targeting specific concerns like acne or wrinkles, focusing on more potent active ingredients like retinol and glycolic acid," explains Wizemann.

She also notes, "Some Korean skincare products may not be allowed in the US due to differences in regulations and ingredient restrictions. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strict policies regarding the use of certain ingredients, such as higher concentrations of certain acids, botanical extracts, or novel ingredients that have not received FDA approval. Some Korean skincare products may also contain ingredients that are considered prescription drugs in the US, like certain types of retinoids. For this reason, it's essential to carefully examine the ingredients list and make sure that any skincare products you purchase comply with U.S. regulations."

What are the main ingredients in Korean skincare products?

Wizemann points out that "Korean skincare is known for its diverse range of products and ingredients ," most of which focus on hydrating dry skin and soothing irritation to create plump, dewy skin with a glass-like finish. Here are a few popular K-beauty ingredients to look for in Korean skincare products:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration and plumps the skin
• Snail Mucin: Promotes skin repair and hydration
• Green Tea Extract: Rich in antioxidants, soothes and protects the skin
• Centella Asiatica (Cica): Calms inflammation and supports skin barrier function
• Niacinamide: Helps brighten skin and improve uneven skin tone
• Beta-Glucans: Moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier

Impressive cushioning within the insoles of these shoes allows every step to feel like you’re walking on a cloud, while the lightweight construction ensures that they’ll be easy to tuck into your suitcase. Plus, with a water-resistant faux leather exterior, the shoes won't leave you struggling if your feet get drenched in a summer shower.
