Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla

Character and identity

Set on the northwest coast of Anguilla, straddling Meads Bay and Barnes Bay, this Mediterranean-styled resort uses a rare patch of cliff to lift itself above the island's famously flat terrain, opening up bay views from nearly every angle. The design language mixes clean geometric lines with organic touches like driftwood furniture, and the layout is built around three perched pools: an adults-only saltwater infinity Sunset Pool and the Bamboo Pool steps from Meads Bay. Five restaurants, an 8,800-square-foot spa in a two-story villa, and a Sea Centre for non-motorized watersports round out the programme.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The draw here is the geography: a cliff-edge perch that gives a Caribbean resort genuine vantage points, paired with two of the island's best beaches at the doorstep. Book it if you want a do-nothing week with strong pool, spa and beach infrastructure. A Sunset Pool-side room rewards couples; families should prioritise proximity to the Bamboo Pool and Meads Bay.
