Shoal Bay Villas met all of our expectations based on the reviews we had read. I was there with my wife and 14 yr old son and 12yr old daughter. They met us at the airport, drove us three minutes to the dock and took care of all the paperwork. It took about 30-35 minutes to arrive on Anguilla. One of Altamer -- Russian Amethyst’s garden houses offers over 1,000 square feet in loft design. Hosting a bathroom with shower and bedding for two adults or four children.
Cap Juluca is a luxurious retreat with 98 rooms and suites in 18 elegant villas located on 179 acres of prime beachfront real estate. The beachfront villas are perched on a secluded beach nearly a mile long with powder white sand and crystal clear inland waters. Despite its remote location, Cap Juluca is only a 15-minute boat ride from the shops, restaurants, and nightlife of St. Maarten. The resort is also known for its Mind Body Spirit Weeks and Dance for Joy programs, both held several times throughout the year. Cap Juluca is a secluded, sophisticated and romantic 179 acre retreat with 72 spacious rooms and suites and six pool villas located in 18 very private white Moorish style two story beachfront villas. All rooms have ocean views and are air-conditioned.
The beach is not near any large hotels but it is often visited by vacationers from some of the smaller hotels nearby. You’ll find a small number of hotels near this beach. It is simply the best and I have barely seen any hotel that provides you the same access to staying on the beach (in the Beach Villas). It is simply wonderful. If the hotel confirms your reservation request, your credit card will be charged and you will receive a confirmation email. If the room(s) are not available, you will be informed as soon as possible by email and your credit card WILL NOT be charged. That’s just about how all of them work. You need to ask for other requirements.
Spectacular stretch of white sand beach. Fifteen minutes to the ferry services to St. Thomas. Tranqil and exclusive island of beaches. On a scenic rocky stretch of beach lies an offshoot of Myron Goldfinger’s Covecastles. Goldfinger and his wife, June, teamed up as architect and designer to create a spectacular seaside refuge that is as lovely to look at as it is to live in. Ku is designed after the minimalist cool of South Beach and sets the mood for the young or the young at heart. This sensuous, 27-suite, air-conditioned hotel offers bright accommodations that include oceanfront or oceanview balconies or patios, sitting/dining rooms, full kitchens, and separate bedrooms and bathrooms. BeachCourt Villa has 6 air-conditioned bedrooms accomodating up to 12 people. A study and an additional room with bathroom at tennis court level can accommodate an additional 4. Many islanders and well traveled visitors alike think Shoal Bay East is the most beautiful beach on the island if not the whole of the Caribbean. The location was chosen to take advantage of the view of the sea and surrounding landscape.
You have to climb down a rope to get to this incredible little beach. While Ira and I swam here, pelicans flew around and swam in the water with us, in some cases diving for fish just ten feet from where we swam. Along with these five star dining options and world- renown beaches, an integral part of Anguilla’s tourism product is its accommodation. Most of the resort properties have their own unique architectural design, and visitors find themselves drawn to the Moorish domes of Cap-Juluca, the Moroccan artistry of Sonesta Beach Resort, the old world charm of Rendezvous Bay or the ultra modern white expanses of Cove Castles Villa. Dive shops run uncrowded operations and have and wealth of experience in these waters.
