Compared to other Caribbean islands, it’s fair to say that Anguilla offers a smaller range of activities and attractions. But this is by design; travelers who know what Anguilla is all about choose this tiny hotspot specifically because it does a few things very well. Out-of-this-world cuisine, unforgettable underwater adventures, postcard beaches and soothing music are enough to keep most visitors entranced for the duration of their vacations.

One can’t gush enough about the food, which ranges from fresh-caught fish to mouthwatering BBQ. You’ll be impressed by every restaurant, whether it’s an unpretentious beachfront shack or an elegant open-air dining room. And after dinner, be prepared for your nightcap to last a few hours, as Anguilla’s casual and friendly taverns can be difficult to pull yourself away from.

When you need a break from simply lazing about the beach, keep in mind that you’re mere steps from some of the Caribbean’s best snorkeling spots. You can also explore the 35-square-mile island on horseback, catch some waves on a chartered boat, pamper yourself with professional spa treatments or swing through 18 holes at the Temenos Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman. And when you’re exhausted from all the relaxation, the fantastic resorts and hotels in Anguilla provide the perfect setting in which to recharge for the following day.
