Anguilla
A British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, known for its pristine beaches, luxury resorts, and world-class cuisine.
The Undiscovered Luxury
Anguilla rejected resort development decades ago in favor of villa-based tourism. This decision means 33 beaches remain largely empty even during peak season. The island stays quiet because it requires effort to reach.
British Overseas Territory means English is universal and infrastructure works reliably. The pace is slower than St. Maarten or St. Barts by design.
