Anguilla, a quiet gem in the northern Caribbean, has long been noted for its welcoming attitude towards visitors, exemplifying the hospitality many associate with the wider region.
At Anguilla’s Frangipani Beach Resort, this legacy of kindness is taken very seriously and demonstrated through their mantra: “Come as a guest, leave as a friend.” This family-owned boutique resort offers an oasis of luxury for an intimate island getaway.
Excellence in Accommodations
Frangipani, located on the brilliant strand known as Meads Bay, was voted the best beach on the island and in the top three beaches in both the Caribbean and worldwide. The beach is famous for its pristine white sand and calm turquoise water, where the Caribbean Sea laps gently at the beach just steps from the resort’s idyllic pool.
