Anguilla is a small British Overseas Territory located in the eastern Caribbean Sea, just north of Saint Martin and east of Puerto Rico. It is the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. Despite its modest size—only about 16 miles long and 3 miles wide—Anguilla is known for its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and relaxed, unspoiled atmosphere. Its capital, The Valley, is a quiet administrative center, and the island maintains a peaceful charm far removed from the bustle of more commercial Caribbean destinations.

Anguilla is renowned as a luxury travel destination, offering upscale resorts, gourmet dining, and world-class sailing and snorkeling. The island’s culture blends African and British influences, evident in its music, festivals, and cuisine. Tourism is the backbone of Anguilla’s economy, though the island also has a strong tradition of fishing and boat building. With its warm climate, welcoming community, and commitment to preserving its natural beauty, Anguilla offers a tranquil escape for travelers seeking authenticity and tranquility in the Caribbean.
