Aurora Anguilla just keeps getting better. That’s made it number one in the best hotels in Anguilla.

Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

Aurora Anguilla is the island at its most expansive, hundreds of acres rolling across Rendezvous Bay with a Greg Norman golf course out back and a hydroponic farm feeding the kitchens. You can fill a morning in the healing waters of the spa and an evening at a chef-driven tasting room over the sea, and if you’re traveling with kids, the waterpark will earn its keep all week long. Few resorts in the Caribbean do scale this gracefully.

Favorite amenity: The golf course and golf center rank among the most beautiful anywhere, and the waterpark is tough to top for families.

Favorite amenity: The golf course (and golf center) is one of the most beautiful, well, anywhere. And the waterpark is pretty hard to beat if you’re traveling with families.
