We’re jammin’ at Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel, Anguilla​, a Moroccan-inspired marvel in the Leeward Islands’ northernmost spot, Anguilla. There’s a laid-back, leisurely pace of life at this waterfront retreat, where the biggest effort will be deciding between the sublime ceviche at the club, a carb coma courtesy of Cip’s by Cipriani, or barbecued ribs served out of a vintage food truck on the beach. Sea-facing suites are standard issue, as are blindingly white buildings with arches, domes and billowing white drapes bringing a little North African flair.

Our favourite rooms

Each room has its own bicycles, but if that sounds like too much exertion go for a suite or above, which will bag you a golf buggy as well. If you want to be steps from the sand, choose a room on ground level and get to your sun-worshipping spot swiftly. Or head up for the views in a Premium Beachfront King Room with sea-facing sunloungers on the rooftop terrace.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Go for a table at the edge of the terrace at Cip’s for sea views with a wave-crashing soundtrack. At Maundays Club, choose a seat by the emerald-tiled pool.

Dress Code

Barefoot and bikinis, but something slightly smarter for Pimms.

Hotel restaurant

The waterfront Cip’s by Cipriani is where breakfast is served. Be sure to return at the end of the day, since the terrace over Maundays Bay is one of the island’s most spectacular sunset spots – and you can order carby Italian comfort food to accompany it. Also on the edge of the bay, Pimms cooks up Caribbean classics using lots of local produce (highlight: the lobster). The Cap Shack on the far end of the beach serves barbecued tapas (ribs, tacos, burgers) right out of a vintage truck, with a bar for rum punch and cracking calypso beats.

 

Hotel bar

Maundays Clubs is one you’ll definitely want to be a part of: Hemingway would love to sip a daiquiri at this poolside space, with green panelled walls, a black marble bar and a tinkling fountain. It has the added bonus of the only Peruvian restaurant in Anguilla, which serves up super ceviche for lunch and dinner. 

Last orders

Breakfast hours are 6.30am to 10am. Dinner at Cip’s and Pimms is available from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. Lunch at the Cap Shack is from noon to 5pm.

Boats from Sint Maarten dock in at the Blowing Point terminal on Anguilla.

Worth getting out of bed for

The resort has plenty to keep you captive, whether you fancy some water-based sports (stand-up paddle-boarding, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking, tubing or waterskiing), tennis coaching with Anguilla’s acclaimed instructor Shawn, an afternoon at the spa or a yoga class. Golfers can tee off at the 18-hole course on the Cuisinart Resort a 10-minute drive away in Rendezvous Bay. The hotel can help facilitate boat rentals so you can cruise the Caribbean in style, stopping off to snorkel on reefs and drop anchor at the best beaches – one of which is Little Bay, where there’s a rock for the brave to jump off. Enjoy Bankie Banx’ banging beats at the musician’s Dune Preserve, a shack on the shore with regular live-music sets.

 

Local restaurants

If lobster on a sandbank sounds like your kind of meal, head to Sand Bar, a restaurant that’s only accessible by boat, where the crustacean cookery is next-level. For a laid-back lunch, try Beach Shack on Meads Bay, where tacos and jerk-chicken sandwiches are washed down with frozen cocktails. The island’s most marvellous Mexican food can be found at Picante in the West End. Enjoy a whistlestop whizz around the world Veya in North Hill Village, where dishes include Moroccan-spice shrimp, Korean barbecued pork and Vietnamese-style crispy calamari.

Local bars

The temple-like Sunset Lounge at the Four Seasons outpost on Barnes Bay is, predictably, a great spot for sunset – the classic cocktails and live music aren’t bad, either.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this island hotel in the Caribbean and unpacked their board shorts and Bermudas, a full account of their luxury beach break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel? in Anguilla…

In A-list-favoured Anguilla, the Caribbean’s ultimate Hollywood haven, Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel has just benefitted from a $100-million makeover and it’s not hard to see where the money went. On an already-photogenic island, Maundays Bay is probably its prettiest patch, and the hotel’s dazzling white Moorish villas form an orderly line along the sand. There’s no standard signage around here: hang the green tassel to have your room made up, or the red one for privacy. Even the minibars are slicker than your average: boxy fridges are swapped out for elegant cabinets, with gorgeous glassware and a choice of liquors to drink from it. Every room has a sea view – if you’ve chosen wisely, you’ll have a balcony and a rooftop terrace to admire it from. This is the sort of stay you won’t want to venture far from (though you must, for some reggae raves at the very least) – which is just as well, since the Cap Shack gives you beachside barbecues, Pimms has breathtaking views of the bay and Maundays Club serves up the best ceviche this side of the Andes.
