Set at the water's edge in scenic Island Harbour, Arawak Beach Club is one of Anguilla's most iconic hotels.
Painted tropical colors that catch the eye, the hotel's cheerful atmosphere has always been one of our family's favorites.
With a warm, inviting atmosphere, we have so many fond memories of meals and days at the Arawak. We breathed a heavy sigh when Arawak closed its doors in 2017.
Fast forward to today and we are overjoyed to announce that...
Arawak Beach Club is back!
New owners, Judd & Mindie Burdon have restored the historic property and are pushing it levels higher.
From top-to-bottom room renovations, adding a brand new bar and pool, and with a host of excellent amenities...
Arawak Beach Club is once again delivering ultra-high value Anguilla accommodations!
Let's see what Judd & Mindie have in store.

Since "day one," Arawak Beach Club has been a favorite spot in Anguilla. Back in 2002, when we first visited the island, we had countless lunches and dinners in the warm company of the Arawak family. Friendly and welcoming, Arawak has always felt like home.
Since those early Arawak days, this resilient property closed after Hurricane Irma in 2017. We all breathed a heavy sigh. The Arawak would be missed.
Fast forward and we are delighted to say...
Arawak is back!
New owners, Judd and Mindie Burdon, are breathing new life into the property. From top-to-bottom room renovations, to adding a brand new bar, not only have they restored the spirit of Arawak Beach Club, they are taking the property to new heights.

Painted tropical colors that tickle the spirit, the hotel's cheerful exterior matches its scenic setting overlooking Island Harbour.
The "heart of Anguilla," Island Harbour is a charming fishing village home to some of the island's "bests"...
Less developed than other parts of the island, Island Harbour is a true blue slice of paradise!
Scenic Island Harbour
Arawak Beach Club takes full advantage of its picture-perfect setting, with multiple areas for lounging and soaking up the Caribbean scenery.
Lush, aromatic gardens weave between the hotel's communal areas. Aloe plants, papaya trees, orchids, sea grape trees and swaying palms all please the eye as you move from the comfortable lounge area in the sand to the waterfront terrace with outdoor dining tables.
When it's time to quench your thirst? The hotel's breezy beach bar with a view of Island Harbour blue calls!
Picture-perfect, you have it made in the shade underneath the natural palapa-style roof. This breezy bar is the spot for a refreshing drink as you gaze on at the fishing boats bobbing in the harbor.
With a setting like this, you can shore see Judd & Mindie's vision!
Now, let's take a look at Arawak's rooms...
Arawak is known for its high value accommodations. Their rates are a steal! Starting at $150 and up per night depending on the time of year, you cannot get better bang for your buck.

The owners have been renovating, upgrading and totally re-doing these rooms at a steady pace. In total there will be 17 rooms when renovations are complete.
The property is made up of two story wooden buildings with apartment-style units. All units have kitchenettes, making them an attractive option for long-term stays.
The garden path leads the way to Arawak's row of iconic colorful buildings.
Meandering down the lush garden path, you have to stop to snap a photo of Scilly Cay. Picturesque, resting in the middle of the bay, it is pure paradise. Scilly Cay is known for its afternoons of peaceful sunning, snoozing and dining on crayfish, all washed down with their excellent rum punch. It is a real beach treat having this island paradise right at your finger tips when staying at Arawak Beach Club!
