Anguilla has long been synonymous with barefoot elegance, crystalline beaches, and hospitality that feels both refined and effortlessly warm. Now, the world’s leading tastemakers have made it official: the Michelin Guide has awarded three of the island’s most celebrated resorts—Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel; Malliouhana; and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla—with the coveted Two Michelin Keys, a distinction reserved for hotels that excel in design, service, authenticity, and exceptional guest experience.
In the same way Michelin Stars honor extraordinary kitchens, Michelin Keys shine a spotlight on the world’s best hotels—and out of thousands of contenders, these three Anguillian icons rose to the top. Each offers its own brand of Caribbean luxury, and together they reinforce Anguilla’s growing reputation as one of the most exceptional destinations in global hospitality.
Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel: A Crescent of Pure Tranquility
It takes only a moment on Maundays Bay to understand why Cap Juluca has captured the Michelin inspectors’ imagination. Framed by a pristine crescent of powdery white sand, the resort blends Greco-Moorish architecture with breezy island character to create a sense of dreamy, cinematic calm. Suites and villas feature private terraces, plunge pools, and sweeping ocean views that make even the simplest morning unforgettable.
Wellness is woven into every corner of the guest experience. The Cap Juluca Spa by Guerlain invites guests into a sanctuary of seven treatment rooms, plunge pools, and a thermal suite inspired by the island’s natural rhythms. Treatments draw on local Arawak traditions, encouraging guests to reconnect with the Caribbean’s timeless spirit through grounding rituals, yoga, pilates, and sailing excursions.
Of course, Cap Juluca’s culinary story is equally compelling. The waterfront dining at Pimms showcases contemporary Anguillian cuisine, while the vibrant flavors of Peru take center stage at Uchu. For toes-in-the-sand afternoons, the Cap Shack delivers tapas, tropical cocktails, and the kind of beachside bliss that Michelin Keys are made of.
Malliouhana: A Storied Classic with Modern Caribbean Glamour
Perched elegantly above the turquoise expanse of Meads Bay, Malliouhana is a timeless emblem of Anguilla’s luxury landscape. Frequently recognized as one of the region’s very best—the hotel’s Forbes accolades are just the start—Malliouhana combines glamorous design with a deep sense of place. Nautical touches, island-inspired artistry, and 63 beautifully styled rooms create a visual identity that feels both nostalgic and distinctly modern.
The resort’s award-winning spa is another standout, featuring a tranquil infinity pool, six serene treatment rooms, and a thoughtful collection of fitness and wellness offerings. Guests can immerse themselves in signature experiences like rum tastings, sushi workshops, or ocean adventures including snorkelling, paddleboarding, and guided kayak excursions.
Dining plays a starring role here as well. Celeste by Kerth Gumbs puts a sophisticated spin on Caribbean flavors, offering open-air dining with spectacular cove views. Down on the sand, Leon’s Beach Bar & Grill brings laid-back indulgence to life with Asian-Caribbean plates and nightly reggae rhythms that capture the soul of Anguilla.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla: A Playground of Refined Adventure
Already celebrated for its five-star pedigree, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla has now added a Two Michelin Key honor to its long list of achievements—and with good reason. This is where elevated elegance meets endless possibility. Accommodation options range from intimate ocean-view rooms to expansive multi-bedroom villas with private pools, offering something extraordinary for couples, families, and multigenerational travelers alike.
Guests can drift between three outdoor pools, including the sophisticated adults-only Sunset Pool, or spend the day on either of the resort’s two stunning beaches—Meads Bay or Barnes Bay. As a hub for aquatic and outdoor adventure, the Four Seasons features rock climbing, a sports pavilion, non-motorized watersports at the Sea Centre, and even moke rentals for exploring the island. Sunset cruises are easily arranged right from the resort’s jetty, making every evening feel like a celebration.
At the spa, treatment rooms—both indoor and open-air—set the stage for deep relaxation, with specialty suites tailored for couples’ wellness experiences. Meanwhile, a spectrum of dining options ensures every craving is satisfied. SALT offers impeccably fresh seafood, Lima-Limon brings bold Mexican-inspired dishes to the shoreline, and the Sunset Lounge pairs sushi with flawlessly crafted Caribbean cocktails.
Anguilla’s Bright Future in Global Hospitality
Michelin’s recognition of these three remarkable properties doesn’t just celebrate Anguilla’s luxury credentials—it affirms the island’s unique ability to pair world-class sophistication with genuine warmth and natural beauty. For travelers who seek unforgettable stays grounded in culture, creativity, and connection, Anguilla now shines even brighter on the global map.
With Cap Juluca, Malliouhana, and Four Seasons leading the way, the island continues to set the standard for Caribbean hospitality—and offers every visitor a chance to experience something truly exceptional.
