Anguilla is a true slice of paradise. What's new since last time?

Twin Palms Villas Join The Anguilla CardYou can't say "Twin Palms Villas" without saying "Meads"… Owned by a family who has been traveling to Anguilla for over 30 years, it’s hard to believe that the owners are coincidentally named “Mead!" And the villas are set just a 2 minute walk to magnificent Meads Bay.
A fateful coincidence, isn’t it? :-) As for the villas themselves? Fresh and beachy, bright and spacious, Twin Palms Villas blend the feel of a Cape Cod beach house with the warm vibe of a Caribbean escape.
The property is made up of two private villas... Beach Palm (2 Bedrooms) Features a spacious kitchen, dining and living space that opens onto a large, terra cotta-tiled terrace (complete with a private salt water pool).
Downstairs, the Garden Master Suite is peaceful and private. The decor is especially charming, complete with Anguillian touches (conch shells collected from the beach, wooden sailboat miniatures...).
Just across the hall, and opening onto the garden is Beach Palm’s second bedroom. Colorful and vibrant, it’s well-suited for children and/or another adult couple. Coconut Palm (3 Bedrooms) Down a winding path of palms and blossoming bougainvillea, Coconut Palm is well separated from Beach Palm. Coconut Palm is nearly identical to Beach Palm in its layout (kitchen/living/terrace and two Garden Suites downstairs).
The main difference? Coconut Palm's sizable Poolside Master Suite. It is set in its own building at the edge of the long terrace. Tucked away from the rest of the villa, it is quite secluded.
It also features a large luxurious soaking tub and a refreshing outdoor shower. An extra-special touch? Coconut Palm’s tall tower with roof-top terrace. An idyllic spot to take in Meads Bay’s stunning sunsets with an evening cocktail!
Twin Palms Villas offers all of the conveniences of home - if “home” was surrounded by tropical gardens and located just a 2 minute stroll to Meads Bay ;-) For more on Twin Palms, click here.

The announcement made headline news across Anguilla and throughout the Caribbean.
Known as the region's gem, Cap Juluca long had a reputation for its excellent fine dining. The news was a promise that Cap Juluca's cuisine would once again be five-star. Bizarrely enough, after the initial announcement, there was no "local buzz" on the new dining experiences.
Friends hadn't tried it, reviews on TripAdvisor were sparse, no "food pics" on Instagram. "What gives?" I thought. It was time to take matters into our own hands (or mouths!) and put our tastebuds to work. What did we discover?
One of the best dining experiences in Anguilla with five-star service, a terrific menu and unbeatable value! More on Spice here. Peerless Prickly PearSix miles north of Anguilla lies an unspoiled piece of paradise, Prickly Pear. One of Anguilla's offshore cays, Prickly Pear offers the best of both worlds...
