Features and Amenities

Outdoor lounging is irresistible on each villa’s fifty-foot beachfront covered terrace, furnished with a hammock and seating, while just steps away, the powdery white sand is set with chaise lounges and market umbrellas. Calm, crystal clear waters invite excellent swimming and provide the ideal conditions for snorkeling. Fine dining may be enjoyed at Cove Castle’s elegant oceanfront dining room or served privately at the villa. Award-winning Chef Dominique Theyenet of France and his assistants create delectable French and Caribbean cuisine. Leisure activities include tennis (court is lit for evening play), sunfish sailing and kayaking. Snorkeling gear and bicycles are available.

Location

Tucked away in the Eastern Caribbean, Anguilla is the most northern island in the Leeward Island chain, less than ten miles north of St. Martin and 200 miles east of Puerto Rico, two of our major gateways.  We are located just a small step off the beaten path, which helps to protect Anguilla’s character and exclusivity while offering travelers convenience in getting here by air or by sea. From the U.S. East Coast, travelers can leave in the morning and arrive mid-afternoon in time for a swim and to catch the sunset.

Approximately 16 miles East End to West End and 3 miles at its widest point, Anguilla is flat, low-lying and comprised of coral and limestone, covered mostly with rock, sparse scrub oak, few trees and some salt ponds.  One main road runs through the center of the island, making Anguilla easy to traverse by car in less than a half an hour. Envied for its pure, pristine white sands and wrapped in brilliant turquoise waters, Anguilla boasts well over 33 of the most beautiful beaches in the world.   Beach access is public, and beaches are uncrowded. Dusty roads that branch off of the main road lead to quaint villages, majestic hotels, romantic restaurants and, of course, our amazing beaches.

Climate

63º East, 18.5º North, Anguilla enjoys warm and sunny days and star-filled nights, with an average temperature of 80ºF and gentle trade wind breezes year round.   Rains typically fall in September and October, but usually not all day; and February through March is the dry season.

Water temperatures range between 70ºF and 80ºF, perfect for swimming.  Most beaches are placid and calm with gentle shoals; occasionally, the Atlantic side of the island can produce some surf. This generally happens in the winter months when swells move off the East Coast of the United States.  Surfers can’t be guaranteed waves, but wind and kite surfers find Anguilla to be heaven.
