Holidays in Anguilla 2022/2023

• Sugar-white sands and turquoise waters
• Diverse culinary offerings
• Tranquil island vibe
• Off-the-radar feel

They say the best things come in small packages. Measuring just 16 miles by three miles, Anguilla is a pint-sized marvel so paradisal, you’d think the proverb was written with the island in mind.

It seems a tiny speck within the greater array of Caribbean jewels, but a postcard-perfect concoction of coconut palms, sugar-white sands and azure waters show every inch is as stunning as the next. Better still, Anguilla is a destination that slips under the radar for most visitors to the Caribbean and its unspoiled beauty, seclusion and authenticity make it a real luxury holiday. Kaleidoscopic coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, stingrays and reef sharks offer enticing snorkelling straight off one of the 33 beaches the island boasts.

However, Anguilla holidays offer more than just shimmering sands and turquoise seas. It’s a burgeoning foodie hotspot, a culinary capital where world-class chefs serve up top-notch fare alongside authentic street shacks. Somehow, 120 restaurants are squeezed into this sliver of land, offering everything from classic seafood to a smorgasbord of fusion food, mixing Caribbean influences with European flavours. The Caribbean has never tasted so good…

Anguilla has become famous for its food scene in recent years and the island serves up a delicious array of accommodation to match it. Whether you want to stay on a pristine strip of sand, atop a panoramic bluff or enveloped in tropical gardens, you will be able to find a beautiful corner of classic Caribbean living in Anguilla.

Anguilla is a great island to visit all year round. The high season runs from December to April, with the low season occurring from May to November.

The high season sees temperatures average around 26°C and with very little rain, this is a brilliant time to plan a holiday.

In the low season, the humidity and temperature picks up, peaking in August at around 31°C. While there is a bigger chance of rainfall, Anguilla’s ‘rainy season’ is not as wet as many its Caribbean neighbours. The official hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, peaking in September, but excellent satellite forecasts give sufficient warnings so the island can make the necessary precautions. As a result, low season (the summer months) can be a great time to visit, drawing less crowds than in the high season.
