Issue #173, July 31, 2024


A warm welcome to Indigo Villa who has joined Anguilla-Beaches.com as a Site Sponsor!

Indigo is a tranquil space where the blue Caribbean Sea meets lush, secluded gardens. Part of the private enclave called Little Harbour Estates, Indigo is one of Anguilla's premier luxury villas.



The property evokes all of your senses: The scent of the gardens, the sounds of the ocean, the views of St. Martin and the sea, the taste of Indigo's cuisine, and the feel of the villa's luxurious design and top-tier amenities.

This is the place to relax and rejuvenate.

Join us for a night at Indigo...



As you arrive, the sweet smiles of Indigo's staff greet you with a cocktail and chilled towels. Manager Akeera assures you that your every need will be taken care of during your stay.



As you walk through the property, you are welcomed by the expansive entrance, with a tennis court adjacent to a dreamy bougainvillea walkway.

Immediately, you realize the scale of the property. Indigo is immersed in 1.5 acres of fabulous tropical gardens. The villa's stunning surroundings go hand in hand with its sophisticated design and luxurious comforts.

The main house is straight out of a magazine with its tall columns, large glass windows and doors, all surrounded by lush greenery.



Inside, you will find a spacious living area with plenty of comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV, perfect for family gatherings and lounging.



The room is breezy, with sliding doors leading to the patio. Here, you are immediately drawn to the breathtaking view...



The large patio is expansive. From here, you can access the kitchen.

The over-sized kitchen features glossy cabinets, top-class appliances, and a wide window letting in plenty of sunlight and offering sweeping views of the ocean.



A few steps away from the main living area, you will discover a glistening pool and the master bedroom...



There are ten bedrooms in Indigo, located throughout the first and lower floors of the villa.

The first master bedroom features a king-size bed with luxurious linens and a flat-screen TV.



Most impressive of all are the grand doors that lead to a private balcony, providing beautiful garden and ocean views.

The cavernous ensuite bathroom is noteworthy, with double sink vanities tiled in stone.



The cherry on top? You have the option to shower inside or step outside into your outdoor rainfall shower, surrounded by stones and palm trees.

The other bedrooms on the first floor are equally impressive. Let's step inside Seahorse...



Seahorse is spacious, with its own private porch and ensuite bathroom. The bedroom truly stuns with its view of the garden and St. Martin.

On the lower floor, you will find three more bedrooms.

One of our favorites is the Seashore Room, which opens out to a lush grass lawn that leads right to the beach.



The room has an ensuite bathroom and seating on the breezy patio.

From here, you’ll find the second pool, encased by stone. This pool is dreamy.



The lagoon-like pool is surrounded by lush green grass and plants. The palm trees provide natural shade, creating a tropical oasis.

We could spend all day lounging by the pool, soaking up the serene atmosphere.

Three more bedrooms can be found in the entrance courtyard.



On the first floor, there is one bedroom with a king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom.

Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. This floor also includes a full kitchen, living room, and a balcony that looks out towards the ocean.

These rooms are perfect for teenagers to have their own space, offering privacy and comfort.

Indigo offers plenty of plush common areas to sit back, relax and soak up the Caribbean sunshine.

Our favorite spot to unwind? On a beach chair in the sun...



The beach at Indigo is equipped with lounge chairs, beach umbrellas and cozy cabanas. This is the best place for a beach cocktail! Rum punch in hand, this strip of sand beckons you to soak up the sun and the serene ocean views.

Here you will also find the villa's deck and pier where you can launch a kayak or set off on a morning snorkel. The clear waters are perfect for exploring the marine life.

After beaching? The pool calls! Indigo answers with not one but two sparkling swimming pools...



Indigo's host of amenities don't end there. The villa features a gym and an immaculately maintained tennis court.

The villa's amenities ensure there is something for everyone, whether you prefer active pursuits or relaxing downtime.

When the sun sets, the villa is bathed in a magical glow...



The starry lights of St. Martin in the distance create a dreamy atmosphere. The lights of the villa will enchant you, too. They twinkle against the night sky.

For dinner, enjoy one of Anguilla's many excellent five-star restaurants. Indigo is centrally located, just a short drive to Rendezvous Bay, Meads Bay, and Sandy Ground's dining options.

If you prefer to dine-in, Indigo's team can arrange a private dinner under the stars.

In the morning, the villa's in-house chef and staff prepare the most delightful breakfast. With freshly baked breads and pastries, you will be in heaven each morning at Indigo...



Indigo's chef whips up a number of buttery, flakey pastries and serves them alongside pancakes, waffles and other items of your choosing.

After breakfast, what's on the agenda?

Relaxation, of course!



Indigo offers a peaceful and private retreat, where every detail is meticulously attended to by the dedicated staff.

From the moment you arrive, to the moment you depart, the warm and welcoming team ensures that all of your needs are met with exceptional care. Whether it’s preparing gourmet meals or providing fresh towels by the pool, the staff is committed to excellence!

Indigo truly lives up to its reputation as one of Anguilla's top tier villas.

Here, you can expect the finest - the finest service, the finest facilities and the finest location on the Caribbean Sea.

Tranquil and luxurious, Indigo is a genuine paradise.



A huge thank you to Indigo Villa for their support in making Anguilla-Beaches.com possible.
