In Anguilla, "beach" is always the answer 😁💗⛱
Things have been heating up fast in Anguilla! CuisinArt, Four Seasons, Malliouhana and Cap Juluca have all opened their doors. With mega weddings, lots of re-openings and plenty of upcoming events, the season is off to a superb start.
What's new since last time? Lynne Bernbaum's Art Gallery Joins The Anguilla CardOne of Anguilla’s most high-profile artists, Lynne Bernbaum’s work is iconic. Her impressions of Anguilla have captivated the imaginations of many for years. It is no surprise that Lynne’s pieces adorn the walls of celebrity homes and high-end restaurants and villas around the island.
A charming, sweet lady from Texas, Lynne fell in love with Anguilla during her travels to the Caribbean in the '80's. She moved to Anguilla a few years later in 1995, and has been living her dream ever since. My mom adores Lynne's artwork, how she pictures Anguilla and how she captures the spirit of Anguilla so beautifully. Ms. Bernbaum has a unique, award-winning style, with absolutely fascinating images of Anguilla. Let's take a peek inside her gallery...
In addition to her Hat Series and classic pieces (the Dominoes and Market Scenes) seen in the photos above, Lynne commissions paintings of the Delicate Bar. A sweet, neighborhood bar right across from her gallery, Lynne has been inspired by the different bar "moments." Whether it is joggers stopping in for a refreshing drink, or a cyclist taking a break with a cool beverage...
Lynne can personalize your Delicate Bar "scene" however your heart desires. With pets, friends, having a chat with the bar owner, jogging past the bar or taking it easy with a drink - Lynne will work with you to develop your Delicate Bar painting. A touching series, we are in love with these paintings! More on Lynne Bernbaum here. Lynne Bernbaum is an Anguilla Card Partner.

NEW Cocktails, Dishes & Desserts at MezeWhen it comes to tasty bights, refreshing cocktails and excellent tunes, Meze is a favorite. Set just below Veya, Meze is a go-to for a light evening meal set to some of the best live music on-island. Chef Carrie has unveiled a NEW menu this year, including one of our FAVORITE cocktails of all time, the Bird of Paradise (left of photo below).
Made with guava, passionfruit, lime and Grey Goose, it exudes tropical flavors! When it comes to bites, the tzatziki is a classic...
Cool, chunky and fresh tzatziki pairs perfectly with the side of warm flatbread. What's new for light bites? The steak skewers are not to be missed. For the full effect, dip the steak in the side of guacamole topped with pickled onion!
Another new favorite? The lettuce shrimp wraps...
Seasoned with Moroccan spices, each bite is an explosion of flavor. Meals at Meze don't end there. Be sure to finish your evening with an after-dinner drink. The Dark n' Fluffy is sinfully delicious...
Made with marshmallow vodka, chocolate liqueur and a splash of cream, it is a dessert in and of itself. We would be remiss, however, to not mention one of our favorite desserts of all time, Carrie's Key Lime Pie In a Jar.
This dessert is perfect in every way! The cookie crumble in the middle, the hefty cream on top, the key lime on the bottom... it deserves a round of applause. Meze is open nightly with live music Monday-Saturday. Save 10% at Meze when you dine with your Anguilla Card.
