Today's destination pick is Anguilla!
Flying into this long, narrow Caribbean island you can see why it earned its name.
WHY TO THERE: Elegance and sophistication combine with a mellow Caribbean vibe to make it one of the region’s most accessible five-star islands. Food Experts flock to its fabulous restaurants, while sun-worshippers love the 12 miles of beaches ringing its shores. Honeymooners in need of some serious R&R let go of stress at its seaside spas.
WHAT TO DO: Awake to a gourmet breakfast, and then head out to shop for boldly hued paintings or colorful jewelry at Anguilla’s many galleries. Nap on a beach so blindingly white you’ll think there was a snowstorm. Lunch on the day’s fresh catch, and then enjoy an afternoon siesta, followed by a side-by-side couple’s massage. Select from dinner treats such as lobster mango salad and conch snapper salad before toasting with Dune Shines at Dune Preserve, a favorite haunt of celebs from Uma Thurman to Jay-Z. That’s a busy day, Anguilla style.
WHERE TO STAY: Cap Juluca, an Arabian Nights fantasy with a perfect beach; Malliouhana, offering classic Caribbean ambience and renowned spa; and Ku, where high style on a stellar beach doesn’t mean high prices.
