As this island has been formed from coral you will find an abundance of palm fringed beaches as opposed to lush vegetation. This makes the island a perfect getaway for sunworshippers looking for unspolit luxury.

There is lots to see and do on Anguilla from turtle hatching between May and November to the underwater magic of Stoney Bay Marine Park. Take a yacht to Prickly Pear Cay, Scrub or Dog Islands and take in the mesmerising views.
