A new era of beach-chic glamour and laid-back luxury allows you to take time to reconnect with what matters most. Relax and unwind with a good book and a glass of wine on the beach. If you want more of an adventure you can discover the waters through sailing, paddleboarding or scuba diving. Regardless of your choices, this resort promises to be a true enchantment. 

The resort is on one of the most spectacular beaches in the Caribbean, yet secluded within two crescent-shaped coves. The focus is all on luxury while inspiring a sense of wellbeing. It is located in the Maunday’s Village beach and stretches one mile long. Belmond, Ltd purchased this 179 acre property on Anguilla’s southwestern end of the island and by the end of the opening in November will have spent approximately $121 million in the acquisition and subsequent renovation and expansion of the resort.

As part of their expansion they have included a spa and fitness center, a rustic beach bar and and a pool and outdoor terrace featuring a shaded infinity pool. However, one of the most anticipated are the villas. They will have three and five bedroom villas which will include kitchens, large dining areas and private pools. Each room and villa will be beachfront so regardless of whether you want to wake up looking out into the sea or fall asleep to the sounds of the waves you will be truly enchanted.

Of course the cuisine at the resort will bring locally sourced seafood combed with international flavors using herbs and spices from their own garden. Pimms, the well known restaurant on the island  promises to bring elevated specialities to attract even the most discerning foodie expert. Another spectacular eating establishment at the resort will be Cip’s by Cippriani. Here they will offer a casual Italian menu which will include such dishes as risottos, pastas and salads.

For even more casual setting don’t forget to try out The Cap Shack where options will be served from a food truck brining you live calypso and reggae music to warm the heart. Finally, the Maunday’s Lounge and Pool Terrace will offer light bits and cocktails where you can stop in and relax for a bit before heading out again to explore the island.

Therefore, if you have not been to Anguilla then definitely add it to your bucket list - just wait until their grand opening to make sure you stay at one of the most promised luxurious resorts in the area.

They are now taking reservations for the grand opening. 

Opening rates begin at $725 per room. For more information visit Belmond’s site.
