It's hard to believe that we are already approaching the end of the off-off-season. In nearly one month all hotels, resorts and restaurants will be open again. And what a season it will be with 3 NEW hotels opening this year... The Reef, Four Seasons and Manoah! Until then, let's take a moment to bask in the total tranquility that comes with the off-season :-)
From Meads Bay...
To Shoal Bay East...
To the crystal cove on Barnes Bay...
To below the sea...
(For more Anguilla photos, follow us on Instagram here!) Anguilla's off-season is peace and quiet at its most soothing. It hasn't all been quiet and calm, however. This off-season we got adventurous with a trip out to Scrub Island... Add THIS To Your Anguilla Bucket ListAnyone who knows Scrub Island generally knows it for its mysterious stories. The island's half-finished and abandoned hotel, notorious Deadman's Bay, the plane crash site. What we didn't know was that the waters that surround Scrub are just as, if not more, fascinating and diverse. The man who knows Anguilla's waters and Scrub Island like the back of his hand, Nature Boy opened our eyes to Scrub's giant blow holes, its high seas (the area is home to the roughest waters in Anguilla), shipwreck sites...
... and fascinating sea caves.
It was one of the single most memorable days any of us have experienced. Mind-blowing in every way, if you're up for adventure, I cannot recommend this enough!
More on Scrub Island with Nature Boy. Pure AnguillaMore exploring, this time on land, Pure Anguilla's tour takes you into Cavannagh Cave...
... and 180 feet below Anguilla into Katouche Cave!
Expert guide Oliver shows you the way, explaining the flora, fauna and prehistoric caves.
A real Anguilla adventure - bring your running shoes and a whole lot of courage! How to Get to Long BayLong Bay's curves and shimmering-blue waters are simply stunning! We fell deeper in love with Long Bay when we discovered this...
.. a magical secret cove tucked away on Long Bay, complete with a fascinating stairway! When we posted the original photo to Facebook and Instagram, we received a lot of requests for its location. Via Snapchat, we tracked it down and showed you how to get there. If you missed the Snapchat adventure, here's how to get to that magical cove and the "stairway to heaven."

NEW Restaurant: Spice of IndiaAnguilla's first dine-in Indian restaurant, complete with a tandoor oven, Spice of India has been getting rave reviews and it's not hard to see why! Here are a few favorite dishes from this authentic Indian eatery...
“Chef’s Vegetarian tandoori appetizer platter” - large tandoori mushroom, four pieces of a stuffed potato, paneer tikka and malai paneer tikka (cubes of cheese marinated and cooked in the tandoor oven) and tandoori kesari gobi (marinated cauliflower that’s barbecued in the charcoal fire).
Prawn entree with a rich coconut sauce, the Murgh tikka masala (chicken) and the Yellow Dal Tadka.
