Olas: Making Waves on Shoal BaySpeaking of bluuuetiful Shoal Bay, let's taco 'bout Olas Bar & Grill. Situated in the middle of Shoal Bay, near Madeariman, Olas is perfectly placed. It is within a few steps of the bay's enticing blue water. This wooden beach shack is owned and operated by Bev and his girlfriend, Eulandy. Some of you may know Bev, who also runs The Fountain Resort on Shoal Bay.
Olas offers an ocean of refreshing drinks to beat the warm Anguilla sun. Eulandy fills her cocktails with passion, love and care. Her margarita is prepared with pride. Made with the freshest ingredients, these are extra-refreshing! The passionfruit and mojito go down as BEST on-island.
With cocktails in-hand, tacos call! The menu begins with appetizers of green salad, onion rings, freshly made guacamole, salsa and chips, picaditas and yummy chalupas...
The menu then expands into a variety of kebabs, fajitas and tacos, burritos, tostadas, chimichangas and quesadillas and oh so tasty enchiladas...

Inside Anguilla's Most Impressive Luxury VillasOn an island known for catering to the jet-set, Anguilla's villas are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Two villas that sit at the top of the "best villas" list? None other than Long Bay Villas and Santosha Villa Estate. Let's sea why these iconic properties rank as some of the island's best!
Long Bay Villas takes your breath away in three distinct ways: Sky Villa, Sea Villa and Sand Villa.
The estate's three stark-white villas tier down the lush hillside that slopes up from pristine and exclusive Long Bay beach.
Long Bay beach is a special slice of paradise. 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.

Just steps from Long Bay's shores...
To Sea's perch in the sky, overlooking the ocean blue...
And then there's Sky's tower to the clouds...
Long Bay Villas is in no short supply of show-stopping architecture that complements the natural beauty of its surroundings!
Inside, all 3 villas combine to boast 16 bedrooms with over 19,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space that can accommodate 33 guests. With state of the art furnishings, the villas are a dream!
Next door to Long Bay Villas, sister property Santosha Villa Estate reigns as Anguilla's most grand villa. A 37,000 square foot West Indian-style estate, Santosha is of a bygone era.
Santosha Villa Estate sprawls across 4.5 lush acres. Its design is classic Caribbean, immaculately executed. A marked sense of relaxed sophistication washes over you as you walk through the nine bedroom property. From regal crown moldings, to mahogany four poster beds, to antique sconces, louvre doors and double-paned windows, to the grand spiral staircase and wrap around verandas, each and every piece has been carefully designed.
Beyond the properties' sheer beauty and elegance, they are renowned for their excellent service. Property manager, Patricia Bygrave and her staff go above and beyond to deliver the most blissful escapes. For a full look at the Long Bay Villas and Santosha Villa Estate experience, click here.
