The food is guaranteed to please anyone taking a luxury vacation. High-end places to eat include (in alphabetical order) Blanchards, Hibernia, Mango´s, Olivers, Overlook, Straw Hat, and Tasty´s.
Inside Advice - Eating in Anguillas´ fine restaurants is a fantastic experience. But you don´t have to visit the top-rated places to get great food. The Anguillans really know how to prepare delicious meals and many small beach bars and cafes offer truly excellent dining at a fraction of the price of the celebrated restaurants.
For great food and good value on Anguilla we particularly recommend; Le Bar and Uncle Ernies (Shoal Bay), The Arawak Cafe (Island Harbour) and many of the BBQ´s you´ll find dotted around the island.
Anguilla Accommodation
Anguilla hosts many fine hotels, resorts, inns and B&B´s. Luxury hotels / resorts include: Cap Juluca, Covecastles, CuisinArt Resort & Spa, Frangipani Beach Club, and also Malliouhana.
Inside Advice - Due to taxes and other legislation/regulation on Anguilla, hotels and other accommodations tend to be relatively expensive. However, many luxury villas are owned by off-islanders who only use them occasionally, and offer them for rent the rest of the time. As a result you can usually rent an entire luxury villa for a fraction of the cost of a hotel suite!
