Anguilla

Welcome to the northernmost gem of the Leeward Islands, part of the beautiful British Overseas Territories. Anguilla is renowned for its natural beauty and unique geography. Covering approximately 35 square kilometers, it’s similar in size to neighboring St. Maarten. What sets Anguilla apart is its distinctive shape — stretching 26 kilometers in length and only about 6 kilometers across, earning it the nickname “The Eel.”

The island’s population is primarily of Caribbean Antillean heritage, with English as the official language. Thanks to its quiet charm and relative seclusion, Anguilla has become a sought-after destination for luxury travelers seeking privacy and exclusivity.
