Issue #175, September 30, 2024


It may officially be autumn but it's summer vibes 24x7x365 in Anguilla 😎💗🏝



Did you know that the off season is one of our favorite times of the year on-island?



If you love having beaches all to yourself, you already know what we mean 😉💗⛱️



Now is a great time to come down and get your float on!



This time of year many businesses close to repair and rejuvenate for the coming season.

As a result, beaches are quiet and waters shimmer clear in a million shades of aquamarine.



One of our favorite places to visit in the off season is Scilly Cay!

Join us in this video for a Sunday on Scilly Cay.

The first thing to do when you arrive on Scilly Cay? Dive right into that blue...

After sunning, swimming, snorkeling and fun in the sun, hunger calls!



Scilly Cay answers with excellent BBQ eats, including chicken, ribs and a catch of the day. If it's crayfish and lobster you prefer, Scilly Cay serves up one of Anguilla's best. Scilly Cay serves it with all of the trimmings. Pasta salad, fruit salad and Le Bon Pain garlic bread make the meal complete.

After lunch? It's all beach & repeat 🥰🥰🥰

How to Spend a Birthday in Anguilla

Anguilla is the perfect destination for celebrating special occasions, whether it’s a honeymoon, wedding, anniversary, or birthday.

Whether you prefer laid-back, relaxing beach days, thrilling adventure boat charters, or a day filled with delicious cuisine and cocktails, Anguilla offers it all.

How I Spend My Birthday in Anguilla...

To start the day, I treat myself to the sumptuous breakfast buffet at the Four Seasons Anguilla. Its stunning ocean views set the tone for the day ahead.



Breakfast here is one of the finest in Anguilla. The buffet offers seemingly endless choices of homemade granolas, gluten free pastries, breakfast meats, the must-have omelet station and so much more.

The property is also the perfect spot to snap a couple of birthday photos!



Stomachs full and Instagram photos posted, it's time for a massage!

There’s no better way to relax and unwind than with a luxurious spa day at Sorana Spa at Aurora. Known for its calming ambiance and expert therapists, the spa offers a range of treatments that will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.



I usually go for a deep tissue massage or a mani-pedi, but on this special day, we’re doing both — treat yourself!

For a bit of retail therapy, head over to Keenie's Boutique at the Q Hotel, a favorite for chic and unique finds, perfect for picking up a birthday gift for yourself or a birthday outfit.



After a morning of relaxation and shopping, lunch at Savi Beach Club is the perfect next stop.



Set on Meads Bay beach with panoramic views of the ocean, it’s the ideal place to enjoy fresh seafood and sip on refreshing cocktails while soaking up the sun and sea breeze.

Next, nothing can close out a special day like a sunset sail with Tradition Sailing!



There is nothing more magical than enjoying Deb's cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. The peacefulness of sailing in the golden light, combined with the rich flavors of on-board appetizers, makes for the perfect ending to a memorable birthday celebration.

Still have energy and space for more food? Head to Tokyo Bay for an indulgent meal of expertly prepared Asian bites. I mean, it is your birthday after all!



To wrap up the night, it’s off to Sandy Ground for late-night cocktails. The nightlife there is always buzzing as it’s the party center of the island.

My advice? Start from Waves and make your way down to Elvis'.

With Anguilla’s perfect blend of luxury, natural beauty, and warm hospitality, celebrating a birthday here is more than just a day — it’s an experience to treasure forever.

To save while you celebrate, be sure to get your Anguilla Card.




A Luxurious Beach Escape

If you are looking for a fall beach escape, look no further than the aptly named Beach Escape Villa.



A luxurious villa with chic beach house charm, Beach Escape sits on secluded Sandy Point beach.

Sandy Point glistens in a million hues of Anguilla blue. Shallow calm waters stretch for as far as the eye can see, before dropping off to St. Martin's majestic mountains in the distance. A hidden gem, you feel as though you have stumbled upon a secret beach all your own.

Beach Escape opens right onto this stretch of sand.



Five plush bedrooms, a posh kitchen and several beachy-chic living areas span out over two villas that take full advantage of the sandy beachfront setting.



Rich in upscale beachy-chic charm, Beach Escape Villa is one of a kind.



With Apple TV, SONOS, EVO grill, tropical landscaping, solarium-eque showers, luxurious outdoor couches, oversized screened-in patios, and plenty of areas to lounge, you have everything you need at Beach Escape.
