With new restaurants and festivals on the horizon, it is all "blue & news" here in Anguilla! What's new since last time? Do You Have Your Tranquilitee? 👕 💗🏝A huge thank you for all of your wonderful feedback on our labor of love, Tranquilitee!
Tranquilitee has been months upon months in the making. Louise and I set out to capture the warm, relaxed vibe of Anguilla and “wrap YOU in blue” with the softest, most perfect Anguilla tee we could dream of. Our credo, every step of the way, is never to say “good enough.” From sourcing a manufacturer who does top-of-the-line work for luxury brands in the USA, to reaching out to 43 watercolor artists to find the one with "just the right touch." We even developed custom, "wrapped in blue," eco-friendly packaging...
I never realized that developing a simple t-shirt could be so involved. The reality is that creating something that is truly special is far from “simple.” After so many months of developing and perfecting Tranquilitee, your feedback means the world!
Louise and I are over the moon happy that you love your Tranquilitees! We are floating on all of the good vibes 🤗💗
If you don't have your Tranquilitee yet, we have made a limited first-edition run. Please visit... Special Bonus!
An ocean of thanks for all of your support over the years! We hope your Tranquilitees bring you Anguilla calm for years to come 💗🏝

A little spit of sand that jets out to St. Martin, Sandy Point is a hidden gem. I remember the first time my Dad and I discovered this beach back in 2004. Fluffy white sand, waters sparkling in blue, and just the two of us... this beach has always held a special place in our hearts.
Hand-in-hand with that discovery was the discovery of Beach Escape Villa. Set right on these sandy shores, Beach Escape Villa has long been one of our family's favorite beachfront villas.
Beyond location, Beach Escape is one of the most comfortable and user-friendly villas in Anguilla. Five bedrooms, plush media room, modern kitchen with outdoor cooking options and indoor and outdoor dining and lounging spaces span out over the villa's two buildings. Two heavenly master suites lay in the villa's main house, with two additional master suites and a twin room in the guest house. The layout makes it an ideal choice for families and friends traveling together.
With direct beach access, grassy lawn, sandy front, Apple TV, SONOS, EVO grill, tropical landscaping, solarium-eque showers, oversized screened-in patios, luxurious outdoor couches, housekeeping six days per week and on-call staff... This villa is irresistibly comfortable. Read more on Beach Escape Villa and Sandy Point beach here. See our video tour inside Beach Escape Villa here. Barrel Stay is BACK"Barrel Stay" is a famous name in Anguilla. A well known spot right on the shores of Sandy Ground, the beloved Barrel Stay is BACK with new management and ownership.
After previous owners Graham & Jill decided to retire and return to the UK, Condon Proctor took over the restaurant and has rekindled its flame with Chef Junior. One of the most romantic settings in Anguilla...
The location and Chef Junior's world-class cuisine is a match made in heaven. What's on the menu at Barrel Stay? The Creole lobster gets our vote for one of the best lobsters on-island!
Lobster meat is taken out of the shell, cooked and then placed back into the shell making it oh-so easy to eat. Tender and succulent, the lobster's flavor is equally noteworthy. This lobster is prepared in a rich, savory creole sauce. It is often so difficult to infuse lobster with flavor, but not for Barrel Stay's chef. Chef Junior's talents shine! We instantly fell in love with this dish.. Another favorite? The Stuffed Airline Chicken Breast.
Stuffed with spinach and goat cheese, and bathed in poultry jus, this is one tasty bird. Every bite is perfection! Goat cheese and spinach make for a creamy and decadent filling, beautifully rounded out by the jus. The dish's sides of mashed potatoes and vegetables make it complete!
A huge congratulations to Chef Junior, Condon and the whole team at Barrel Stay. An iconic and breathtaking location in Anguilla, we couldn't be happier that Barrel Stay is back - and packing impressive flavor. The new Barrel Stay gets an A+ in our books!

Long Bay beach is one of Anguilla's little known "big beauties." True to its name, Long Bay is a long stretch of powdery-fine sand. Here, waters glisten in a cool gradient of blue, capturing every shade imaginable.
This impressive beach is set just next to famous Meads Bay. Unlike Meads, however, you won't often find another soul on this beach. Long Bay is where to be for total peace and tranquility.
For transcendental tranquility? Check into either of Long Bay's two ultra luxury villas, Long Bay Villas and Santosha Villa Estate. Set on the lush hillside that slopes up from Long Bay beach, Long Bay Villas' three villas, Sky, Sea and Sand, each deliver a unique blue view. From Sky Villa...

This part of the beach (photo above), is cut off from the rest of Long Bay. It is a soothing escape, a beach all its own. With enigmatic cliffside all the way to the east, and surrounded by crystal clear waters, the setting is utterly peaceful. Long Bay Villas' & Santosha's therapeutic effect doesn't stop at the beach.
Long Bay Villas and Santosha bring true meaning to the term "beach therapy" with...
