Far out in the well charted waters of the east Caribbean lies the Leeward Island chain, and at its northern tip is an utterly charming little strip of limestone called Anguilla.
Its interior is arid, scrubby and overrun with semi-domesticated goats and chickens, but it is frilled with some of the most incredible beaches in the world. A short boat ride from Saint Martin, or about half an hour from Antigua by air, Anguilla’s imagined inaccessibility has made it a popular destination for celebrities wanting to get away from media intrusion. Its friendly people and natural beauty make it perfect for anyone wanting to get away from anything else.
