2 Best Hotels in Anguilla

These hexagonal two-story villas are a good choice for a funky, budget-friendly, low-key guesthouse experience. The pricier units on the top floors are more spacious and a bit quieter, with spectacular views of Island Harbour and beyond to Scilly Key. Under new ownership, the standard rooms have been beautifully renovated, with modern furniture, flat-screen TVs, and attractive bathrooms and kitchens. You can combine these units to suit a group. While the property's on the water, it's not quite on the beach---though a small private cove with a sandy beach is a five-minute walk away. Common areas have Wi-Fi. Special rates and packages, including for long stays, are available.

Although it's not on the beach, this family-owned and -operated boutique inn sitting on a cliff in the middle of the island offers breathtaking views of Sandy Ground Village and Road Bay below. The one- or two-bedroom suites here are clean and spacious with hints of bright colors. Each suite has a kitchen and small dining area; some rooms have large private balconies with an ocean view. The restaurant, swimming pool, and conference room are nice additions to this local hotel's amenities.
