These Are the 10 Best Resorts in Anguilla, From Clifftop Pools to Thai Spas, and Endless Beaches

There are no cruise ports in Anguilla, no casinos, no high-rise towers crowding the shoreline. What you get instead is 35 square miles of some of the best beaches on Earth, lined with a small, serious collection of hotels that have made quiet, barefoot luxury their entire reason for being.

This is an island that rewards slowing down. You wake to the sound of the surf, walk to breakfast in the sand, and spend the day deciding between a swim, a spa treatment, and doing absolutely nothing at all. The water is impossibly clear, the service is personal in a way that’s hard to find anymore, and even in peak season you can have a stretch of sand mostly to yourself.

From Meads Bay to Maundays Bay, Shoal Bay to Rendezvous, every property here has its own rhythm, its own crowd, and its own world-class beach (along with some new flights, too). Here’s where to stay right now. These are the best resorts in Anguilla for 2026.

If you come to Anguilla to reset, start at Zemi Beach House on Shoal Bay, home to the Caribbean’s only Thai-style house spa—a 300-year-old teak structure brought over from Thailand and reassembled by hand. You’ll spend your days drifting between the beachfront infinity pool (or your own plunge pool) and the steam-wrapped vitality pool, then close the night at the rum bar with endless pours in hand. The suites are built for lingering, with deep soaking tubs that look straight out to the water. It keeps raising its own bar year after year, which is exactly why it takes the top spot in our guid this year.

Favorite amenity: The Rhum Room is one of the most amazing bars in the Caribbean, period.
