Anguilla: Malliouhana
The Original, Reborn
Malliouhana is the reason Anguilla ended up on the map in the first place, and after a series of thoughtful updates, it's easy to see why the name still carries so much weight. New beachfront suites, a barefoot bar planted right in the sand, and a reworked infinity pool that seems to spill straight into the ocean below have brought fresh energy to a property that's been quietly setting the island's standard for decades.
All 63 rooms and suites now carry a lighter, island-inspired look, and the spa has grown to include its own infinity pool, tucked away for guests who want quiet on top of quiet. Mornings might start with a yoga class on the lawn, afternoons with kayaking or kitesurfing just off the beach, and evenings wind down at Cafe Celeste, where the tiered dining terraces mean there isn't a table without a water view.
