Malliouhana, Auberge Collection, Anguilla

Even the most iconic hotels sometimes need to re-invent themselves. So is the case with Malliouhana, long regarded as one of Anguilla’s finest hotels, and very much the place that put the island on the map in 1984. After an $80 million renovation, the resort has been thoroughly refreshed. Its slick yet pared-back design feels fresh and up-to-date. From its perch atop a picturesque bluff, you can enjoy the gentle trade winds that keep the temperatures comfortable, perhaps enjoying an alfresco dinner accompanied by fine wines and Michelin-starred meals. As for the facilities there will be no grumbles with excellent golf and water sports, a soothing and spacious spa, complimentary yoga, fantastic food, a great family-friendly vibe all washed down with warm, Caribbean hospitality.
