From the moment you pull up to Manoah Boutique Hotel's lobby, you enter a world grand and modern.

Dressed in crisp whites, shimmering tiles are interspaced with luxurious wood floors underfoot. The lobby is fresh with views of Shoal Bay blue in the distance. It is an indication of good things to come.

A boutique property, Manoah offers 31 rooms total. 22 of the rooms are set inside the hotel's main building, which stretches 6 stories high. The remaining 9 rooms are directly on the sands of world-famous Shoal Bay East.

Let's take a look...

The Main Building's Oceanview Rooms

Set inside the "sandcastle" that sits on Shoal Bay East, Manoah's main building houses three types of rooms: standard rooms, superior rooms (standards and superiors can be joined to create 2 bedroom suites) and the presidential penthouse suite. It occupies the entire 6th floor.

The owner of Manoah is known for his successful restaurants and beach clubs in St. Martin and St. Tropez. Long-term lovers of Anguilla, he and his late wife had always dreamed of opening a hotel on Shoal Bay East.

Today, the beachfront building is named Liz in her honor. The main building is named after Deanna Mussington, a dear family friend whose career the owner helped blossom.

An interesting and touching background, we were ready to see the first room on the tour.

Standard Rooms

Behind Deanna's first door, a short hallway painted a vivid blue curves and leads you to the standard room.

Lavishly appointed, a floor-to-ceiling art piece makes up the room's backdrop. With sand-colored tiles underfoot, white all around and wood accent pieces, all of the elements work together to create a chic Caribbean feel.

The bedroom is complete with a television, coffee bar with mini fridge, a sumptuous bathroom and...

The balcony features a small dining table, two chairs and a comfortable swing for long snoozes while listening to the waves of Shoal Bay.

Tip: If it is privacy you seek, book a room on floor 2 or 3. The balconies on these floors are separated from the other balconies. If it is a panoramic view you prefer, or if you are traveling with another couple or extended family, floors 4 and 5 are open with low dividers.

Twice the size of the standard room's terrace, the superior room's terrace wraps around to the living room. A fantastic use of space!

All rooms are elevator accessible and are just a 30 second walk to the beach.

Beachfront Rooms

In a three story building, Manoah's beachfront building is directly on the sands of Shoal Bay East. It houses 6 superior and 3 standard rooms. All are accessible by elevator.

Standard Rooms

The rooms in this building lay out similarly to the rooms in the main building. However, the beachfront rooms feature rich, hard-wood flooring and the top floors boast a lofty feel with vaulted ceilings overhead.

The focal point of the resort, the space is a successful blend of French Riviera-chic and Anguilla-cool. The owner's experience of developing beach clubs in St. Martin and St. Tropez is apparent.

Dazzling Pool

Large, with ample seating, the pool itself slopes up to its edges, making for easy wading. Another smart touch are the lounge chaises that sit directly in the pool.
