Welcome. In this “luxury issue” of True Anguilla, we give you a glimpse into our sumptuous selection of world-renowned 5 star hotels, private resorts, boutique properties and exquisite villas AND pages of gorgeous pictures celebrating the splendour of our breathtakingly beautiful beaches and the character of our people. We show you how to hire a convertible and explore the luxuries of small island life, where nowhere is more than 20 minutes’ drive away (at 30 miles per hour), where it’s safe to stop and ask directions (and grab a bite) and where all the beaches and cultural activities are public.

You’ll learn how to luxuriate in the bespoke nature of Anguilla’s unique activities. You won’t find any mass “cookie cutter” experiences here, just personalised tours with expert guides, boutique shopping, fresh art, memorable boat trips and exciting water-sports; along with flavourful, unique and frankly outstanding dining options at every price point – with not a chain in sight.

We talk about how many visitors have made new friends for life, with not just Anguillians, but also other tourists, who have welcomed them into their “best kept secret” club. And we talk to some who have decided to go one step further and take the plunge and invest, retire or live and work here.

And then there is the thing we can’t show you, the thing you have to experience, the greatest luxury of them all: Anguilla’s timeless ability to make you relax and unplug, to float weightlessly on tranquil waters, to take a deep breath of the freshest air you will ever breathe, to run and play on the beach, and to really connect with family and friends in a tranquil, beautiful, safe and peaceful place that you will never want to leave and always want to come home to.

We hope you truly enjoy Anguilla.
