Anguilla Information

This small island, 16 miles long and 3 miles across at its widest point, is 5 miles north of St. Martin. The island is low and arid and beaches are the main attraction here with powder-white sand and very few people. They are very clean and most are protected by coral reefs so the water is calm. It is a very safe island and the fine restaurants, exceptional waters and feeling of seclusion has led to Anguilla being "discovered" but it still remains quiet and informal. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back with everyone enjoying their own private paradise.

Island Inns specializes in luxury hotels and villas in the Caribbean and Bahamas.
