The arrival of winter is swift in the Northern Hemisphere and before long, hordes of Americans will be rushing to airports in search of a warm destination. Cast your gaze towards the Caribbean, especially now that most travel limitations have been lifted from this corner of the globe. Commencing from the 1st of November, 2022, guests traveling to Anguilla from the United States no longer face pre-arrival testing or entry prerequisites, rendering it the idyllic retreat for those seeking an upscale tropical getaway.
Spanning merely sixteen miles in length and three miles in width, Anguilla may seem insignificant in the vast Caribbean Ocean, but do not be misguided by the petite size of this island! Anguilla is renowned for its serenity, drawing numerous celebrities seeking a secluded escape to detach and unwind from the world. This laid-back island – a British Overseas Territory nestled in the radiant Caribbean – boasts some of the finest beaches worldwide!
Trekking to Anguilla may appear intricate initially, but it serves as an integral part of the adventure when relishing a remote deluxe holiday. While certain guests opt to land at the Anguilla Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) via smaller aircraft or chartered planes, most visitors take a flight to the Princess Juliana Airport in St. Maarten (SXM) and then embark on a motorboat journey to Anguilla (entry requirements for St. Maarten have also been revoked). The brief 20–30-minute voyage to Anguilla can be aboard a shared or private sea shuttle, easily arranged through the top-tier Four Seasons Anguilla. The elite five-star property in the area.

Indulging in the freshest catch of the day and/or savoring sundowners at one of the charming beachfront bars are just a couple of the extraordinary culinary adventures that await you at the Four Seasons Anguilla. The hotel’s signature dining venue, SALT, perched atop a clifftop bluff, presents a contemporary twist on Caribbean cuisine, with awe-inspiring vistas of Meads and Barnes Bay below (reservations for dinner are recommended). Bamboo Grill, a beachfront eatery offering both breakfast and lunch, bestows sprawling views of the vast blue water bay paired with locally-inspired dishes (the lobster egg Benedict is a must-try!). Half Shell, the resort’s hidden gem nestled on Barnes Bay beach, allows guests to relish fresh tacos and flavorful cocktails (do not depart without sampling the Dean Supreme). Lastly, Sunset Lounge, an open-air pavilion featuring an assortment of Asian-influenced offerings and small bites for sharing, often accompanied by live music and front-row seats to the finest sunsets. With a profusion of culinary options, there’s simply no reason to leave this paradise.
The establishment is also home to a remarkably impressive Kids Club and a plethora of on-site activities ranging from tennis and basketball to rock climbing and an extensive array of water sports (such as paddleboarding, top-notch snorkeling spots, kayaking, and sailing on the hobby cat are just a few of the numerous options). Outdoor fitness classes are also on offer and can be pre-arranged through the hotel’s bespoke Conciergerie.
