Opening This Season on Meads Bay: Tranquility Beach Anguilla
Tranquility Beach Anguilla has made outstanding progress. The premier Meads Bay project will be opening as a boutique hotel with vacation rentals and ownership opportunities this coming season!
Tranquility Beach's first phase, Signature Suites broke ground early last year. In September 2018, we stepped inside the luxury development with its award-winning architect and developer, Ian "Sugar George" Edwards of Sunset Homes. We were blown away by the progress (click here for our video tour with Sugar George).
Since then? Tranquility Beach Anguilla has impressed us all over again. The developer's extensive experience in the region shows.
Villas A, B and C are standing tall, built deep into bedrock.
Walls have been poured, lights are on and high-end furnishings are on their way. All that is left now - as of October 2019? Just finishing work and installations.
Let's take a sneak peek inside...
Tranquility rules supreme at Tranquility Beach Anguilla. You are immediately struck by commanding views and soothing sounds of Anguilla's most coveted beach. Mere steps to Meads Bay's waterline, the property's location is unmatched.
Its setting goes hand in hand with superior design. Sugar George blends modern-cool with tropical-warmth. Outside, wood ceilings contrast elegantly against strong pillars, stone tile and a white color scheme.
Inside, a wave of tranquility envelops you yet again. Through oversized windows, you are wrapped in Meads Bay blue.
That feeling of sumptuous calm carries through each room, from luxurious ensuites...
... to modern kitchens.
Location, design and furnishings all combine to create a state of the art Meads Bay property.
Nearing completion, Tranquility Beach Anguilla delivers on its promise amidst Anguilla's top tier resorts and restaurants. Tranquility Beach Anguilla will be the epicenter of the epicenter of Caribbean luxury living.
Welcome to Tranquility Beach, Meads Bay, Anguilla...
A huge congratulations to Sugar George and his partner Neil Freeman and their team! A labor of love, Tranquility Beach Anguilla is on track for its grand opening.

The end of this month marks the two year anniversary since the passing of Mr. Albert A. R. Lake. An Anguilla hero, Mr. Albert A. R. Lake was a pioneer who shaped the very Anguilla we know and love today. An established businessman and philanthropist, Mr. Lake was honored twice with a British Empire Award by Queen Elizabeth the Second. He was an extraordinary man. Sadly, Mr. Lake passed away on October 30th, 2017. His contributions to Anguilla and his memory continue to live on today.
That's all for now.
With CuisinArt, Four Seasons, Belmond Cap Juluca and Malliouhana all re-opening at the end of October/beginning of November, it is sure to be all fun in the sun this season. Hope to see you on the island this Fall :-)
