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 Aurora Anguilla's spectacular Merrywing Bay is staying open ALL season long!
Aurora Anguilla is thrilled to announce plans to elevate their Rendezvous wing, creating an even more luxurious experiences for guests. As this exciting journey begins, the Rendezvous wing will be temporarily closed from August 26 to October 11.

A Delicious Breakfast at Tasty’s POV in AnguillaJoin us for a mouthwatering breakfast at Tasty’s POV overlooking Sandy Ground, Anguilla. Renowned for offering one of the best breakfasts on the island, Chef Dale Carty delivers a menu filled with rich flavors and diverse dishes. Join us in this video for a look at breakfast at POV.
Tasty's POV offers a picturesque view of Sandy Ground, where the sun shines brightly over the turquoise waters by day and the harbor shimmers under the midday light.
We started the morning with a rich coffee and strawberry and passionfruit mimosas...
Juices, coffee, cappuccino, espresso, tea, mimosa and bloody marys are all up for grabs. For breakfast, we had to have the classic French Toast with eggs, bacon and delightful watermelon.
The French Toast was beautiful! Made from thick slices of bread rich in cinnamon, it was pan-fried to a golden-brown while still being soft and fluffy. Next, the the Avocado Toast! Two pieces of toast are generously spread with creamy avocado and topped with perfectly cooked over-easy eggs.
Another favorite is the Saltfish and Boiled Egg...
This is a hearty plate, rich in Anguilla flavor! Saltfish, hard boiled eggs and a creamy avocado salad are all rounded out by Chef Dale's famous Johnny cakes. This plate is a true taste of Anguilla. The menu also features omelette options, pancakes served with syrup and fresh fruit, and other favorites like the great Grand Marnier french toast. Tasty's POV is an Anguilla Card Partner.
