At Tranquility Beach Anguilla You Don't Have to Book Beachfront for Instagram-Worthy Ocean Views

Don't get us wrong, our beachfront retreats in Building A are spectacular with the best views of Meads Bay on the beach. But if you want to save a little on accommodations, you can choose a one-, two- or three-bedroom suite in building B or C and still be seconds from the water with a stunning ocean view. Plus, furnishings, amenities and layouts are identical for the same floorplan across all three buildings. Best of all, every luxury retreat includes an outdoor terrace with private hot tub, full kitchen, washer/dryer and our award-winning 5-star service.

Staying in Building B or C

Top floor, three-bedroom penthouses wrap up to 8 people in comfort with sweeping ocean views from both sides of the expansive terrace and the view is equally breathtaking from both Building B and C.

Middle floor one-bedroom premium and two-bedroom units also boast lovely, side ocean views. Convenient ground floor units are just footsteps from the sand and the gym, and feature a serene, garden view. 

Best of all, our breezeway runs through the center of all three buildings, ensuring you are mere seconds from the water, no matter which condominium you choose. You'll have more effortless access to Anguilla's top-ranked beach than at other larger resorts at an exceptional value.

Why There Aren't Any All Inclusive Hotels or Resorts in Anguilla and Why You Won't Miss Them

Why there aren't any all-inclusive hotels and resorts in Anguilla...

Because in Anguilla it's safe and easy to explore. Here you aren't constrained to eating at the same cookie-cutter restaurant each night. In Anguilla, you can vacation and eat well without borders.

Anguilla has over 100 restaurants

Anguilla is home to over 100 bespoke restaurants from roadside BBQ stands, to mom and pop cafes and bistros to 5-star fine dining. Even the most humble eateries serve up expertly cooked dishes that will please your palate. You won't find a fast food chain in Anguilla.

Anguilla's resorts, hotels and restaurants are open to everyone

Restaurants and bars, including those at luxury resorts, are open to everyone. You don't have to be staying at the resort or hotel to enjoy a meal, cocktails or live music. Anguilla encourages you to rent a car, grab a taxi, walk down the beach and taste, sample and enjoy anywhere you please. Try a different venue each day or night, or find your favorite. Our resort, Tranquility Beach Anguilla, is located on the center of Meads Bay Beach.

Anguilla has Caribbean and international flavors, cuisine and chefs

Anguilla is also home to transplanted chefs from around the world, offering menus that provide a fusion of island-inspired dishes, alongside exceptional Italian, Peruvian, Asian, French and Indian dishes that will transport you to those countries.

Guest Shares 5/5 Google Review of Tranquility Beach Anguilla

Featured Review of Tranquility Beach Anguilla by Guest C. Kopp on Google

Stayed here last week with my family (2 young kids). I am extremely selective with hotels - this property and the trip you will have, is just an absolute dream.

Tranquility Beach is located right in the middle of one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Clear turquoise water, white sand with no rocks or coral, water is not too deep, my kids played in the waves for hours. The lot to the side of the hotel is not developed and so you have near total privacy on this already quiet beach. Plus with some interesting mega yachts docked in your view to add that bling.

The service at Tranquility is super personal, they are available for anything you need prior to arrival and then once on property can be reached on Whats App all day to book excursions, change dinner reservations, answer questions, they are ready to help in any way. After a long day of travel, with Tranquility checking in on me to coordinate our transport, 3 of the staff were waiting to greet us with delicious drinks on a tray, including mocktails for the kids, and chilled hand towels.

They property is quite new and outfitted with high end furniture and linens, and kept very clean and orderly. Because it is only a few apartments there it just feels so peaceful and they are so attentive to you, you are never fighting for attention as you might be at a larger property. I loved our huge terrace where we relaxed together and had some breakfasts outside. The apartments have high ceilings, strong air conditioning, brand new TVs with Netflix, comfortable beds, great blackout shades in the primary bedroom - we slept so well. Even in the 3rd building back we had a fantastic view of the beach since it curves around.

ONE line of beach chairs (so all water front) with an attendant to supply towels, mix drinks, they also brought out house-made popsicles. Usually there were only about 8 people on the beach loungers, complete tranquility for real. They provide water and sunscreen and toys for kids. BUT!!! Anguilla is not a place with mobs of kids!! So this means you will not be listening to other kid's screaming and meltdowns all day. Also worth noting, we were in the back building (of 3) and the trip to the beach was about 1 minute long through a nicely landscaped, shaded pathway. So much better than the long arduous journeys to the beach you may find at a huge hotel.

Within a 5 minute walk of this hotel you have multiple amazing restaurants including walk-up window service for fresh mahi and cocktails (Blanchard's beach shack), but also elegant fine dining (Jacala). Within a 10 minute walk you have the gorgeous Malihouana one one end, and the Four Seasons at the other end, both stunning top tier properties where we enjoyed the spa, cocktails, breakfast, lunches, etc. And along the way several other delicious restaurants notably Straw Hat. The food all along this beach is top notch.

Is Summer a Good Time to Visit Anguilla?

Summer is a great time of year to visit Anguilla. Especially for families. Unlike winter and spring breaks when kids are still in school, in summer you can vacation at a more leisurely pace without the constraint of rigid travel schedules. Good news, because once you visit Anguilla you'll never want to leave!

Summer Rates Give You More

Anguilla's accommodation rates are at their lowest of the year in summer. You can stretch your vacation budget dollars further and even upgrade to more luxury options. It's a perfect (and more affordable) time for a family vacation, girls' getaway, sorority or fraternity reunion, golf trip, corporate retreat, destination wedding or milestone birthday celebration.

Beaches are Even More Uncrowded

Although Anguilla's 33 all-public beaches are always uncrowded -- even in the midst of widely-popular festive season -- during summer these ribbons of pristine sand feel even more private. The bluest skies and warm waters are also typically the norm.

Everything is Open

Best of all, even though Anguilla has a more relaxed feel during the summer, you'll still enjoy the same, above-and-beyond hospitality for which Anguilla is famous. Businesses, restaurants, the golf course and excursions are open and operating. Look for seasonal favorites such as Anguilla's locally-grown tomatoes on the menu. 

The Best Place to Stay in Anguilla in the Summer

Located in the center of Anguilla's top-ranked beach, Meads Bay Beach, Tranquility Beach Anguilla resort is the ideal place to experience the best of summer in Anguilla.

Solo travelers and couples will love our one-bedroom suites. Smaller families with three adults or two adults and one or two small kids, will be very comfy in our one-bedroom suites with extra sofabeds.

Our two-bedroom havens lock-off to create a pair of one-bedroom suites – perfect for couples traveling together or multigenerational families. Grandma and grandpa can stay on one side and mom, dad and the kids on the other. Or be together in a three-bedroom, three-bath Penthouse Villa at our exceptionally well-priced summer rates. You'll have many more amenities at a better price per person than a standard hotel room.

All of our suites and villas have an outdoor terrace with private hot tub, full kitchen and washer-dryer, and include our award-winning 5-star service. Because our resort is the newest on island, everything in your suite or villa is fresh and modern.
