Visiting the island during the months of September and October is one of the best kept secrets about Anguilla! The island's off season begins in late May/early June and ends in November. After Carnival in August, though, the island quiets right down. This is when the real off season begins.
A "secret" time to visit, it is one of the most peaceful and serene periods. Many businesses take their annual vacation during this time and many would-be visitors are "back to school."
If you love having beaches all to yourself, now is a great time to come down and get your float on!
To sweeten the deal?
Many hotels close during this period, but this year the spectacular Aurora Anguilla is staying open ALL season long!
The deal gets even sweeter...
Stay at Aurora For Just $299/Night
Aurora Anguilla's "secret" season rates are as low as $299 per night. A steal of a deal, prices like this aren't seen any other time of the year. Louise had the chance to experience Aurora during their "secret" season special. What a time she had! Click here for a video look at Louise's stay.
The Reasons Are Many to Love Aurora! First up? The location is second to none right on Rendezvous Bay. Rendezvous Bay has been named #1 beach in the Caribbean over and over again. With powdery-soft sands and gentle waves, it's not hard to sea why visitors often tout this beach as their top pick.
Aurora's plush rooms take full advantage of their stunning setting. Lofty and bright with direct beach access, Aurora's suites marry plushness with privacy and incredible location. The property boasts resort suites, beach suites and luxurious villa suites. Click here for a full look inside the villas at Aurora Anguilla.
When it comes to activities, Aurora has plenty to do. Laze by the pool, grab a drink, bike, sail, kayak, play tennis, book a spa appointment in their soothing spa or play golf. Aurora International Golf Club is, after all, one of the top courses in all of the Caribbean!
Last but not least you can't say Aurora without your tastebuds jumping for joy! Aurora's restaurants are some of the best on-island. C Level has secured itself as one of our #1 favorites for a beach day.
For dinner, Chef's Table has become a new favorite.
During her stay, Louise was delighted to see a familiar face, Chef Lester Gumbs. Chef Lester is now at the helm of Chef's Table. A talented man with a deep passion for his craft, Chef Lester's care and attention to detail comes through in each bite of his cuisine!
Some of Louise's recommendations? Don't miss the luscious lobster. Expertly cooked, it pairs perfectly with the rich butter and a drizzle of lemon. The beef short ribs is another must-have. Braised and roasted, the meat falls apart with a simple touch of the fork.
The only thing sweeter than dinner at Chef's Table? Starting the day with their decadent breakfasts!
From sun up to sun down, Aurora always amazes! One of the most special times of the year on-island, see below to take advantage of Aurora's super special rates. Book Your Stay at Aurora Anguilla...
