Anguilla, voted the #1 island in the Caribbean by Travel and Leisure, is renowned for its shimmering white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. Friendly locals and authentic Caribbean culture are evident in the island’s cuisine, music, and overall ambiance. You won’t find the cruise ship crowds or large tour groups here, making the Four Seasons Resort And Residences Anguilla a more tranquil destination than some of its neighboring islands.
Traveling to Anguilla from the United States is easy. You can fly directly into SXM airport on the island of St. Marten, then take a quick 20-minute private boat ride to Anguilla’s port. From the port, it’s less than a 10-minute taxi ride to the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla.
The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla sits on 35 acres and boasts over 181 rooms, making it the largest resort on the island. There are over 160 accommodations on-site, including villas and residences with private pools, chef’s kitchens, washers/dryers and expansive living spaces for families or large groups. The two-bedroom/three-bathroom residences near the Bamboo pool are an excellent option for families.
Notably, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla offers completely complimentary laundry service for children under five years old. In addition, cribs, diaper pails, changing tables, and childproofing accessories are all provided complimentary inside the suite. Le Petite Prince baby bath products and an adorable Four Seasons-branded stuffed animal are also lovely touches.
The resort features three stunning pools and two private beaches. The beaches are ideal for classic Caribbean water activities such as snorkeling, paddle boarding, or kayaking. Only one pool is adults-only, which is the infinity pool in the center of the resort next to the Sunset Lounge. The other two pools boast beautiful architectural designs and are kid-friendly with shallow wading areas.
Poolside service is also impressive. Attendants provide a large cooler bag with chilled water, fresh towels, sunscreen, the lunch menu and more. They can even arrange a portable crib in the shade of the cabana area for safe baby naps.
The resort’s luxurious two-story spa is adjacent to the central pool area and overlooks the ocean. There’s a plunge pool and swings on the patio for guests to relax in before their spa services. Be sure to try the Caribbean Sand Scrub, one of the highlights of a stay here.
Designed by the renowned Kelly Wearstler, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla offers a modern, glamorous, and luxurious aesthetic with a predominantly bright white color palette, highlighting the lush greenery and blues of the natural Caribbean surroundings. As dusk falls, lanterns and fire pits along the lush lawns create a relaxed and alluring Caribbean atmosphere. Live music is frequently featured at the Sunset Lounge.
The resort features four on-site restaurants, all serving delicious locally inspired cuisine, including impressive children’s menus. Another bonus is that the hotel provides completely complimentary dining for all children under the age of five.
SALT is the resort’s signature restaurant, serving an expansive breakfast buffet with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. The restaurant features glass walls, making it feel as if you’re dining right over the turquoise and reef-filled waters.
Located along the adults-only infinity pool, the Sunset Lounge serves sushi, ‘buddah bowls,’ and specialty fruit cocktails. The Bamboo Bar & Grill is the casual dining option, situated along the family pool and overlooking Meads Bay beach. The Half Shell Beach Bar, located on Barnes Bay beach, specializes in grilled fish and meats.
The athletic facilities at the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla are state-of-the-art. There’s a large, fully equipped gym, a yoga studio, three lit tennis courts, a putting green, a rock-climbing wall, as well as basketball and volleyball courts.
The resort also features the complimentary Kids For All Seasons (KFAS) program, making the Four Seasons one of the most kid-friendly resorts in the world. Each day the program features a different fun activity, including cookie and cupcake decorating classes, treasure hunts, nature walks, and jewelry-making classes.
