Malliouhana Resort Anguilla

Perched on a bluff at Anguilla's western tip, this resort overlooks the kind of turquoise water that makes people do rash things with their savings. The rooms lean into island character without tipping into tiki-bar territory, and the beaches below are genuinely hard to leave. Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling, and West Indian sailboats keep days full. The food program punches well above what the category usually delivers. The Michelin Guide awards it 2 Keys.
