LOCATION
Like a low-key
St Barths, Anguilla is
a relatively untouched
tropical paradise,
increasingly popular
with celebs. Those
in the know say it
has the best beaches
in the Caribbean and
Shoal Bay East, where
the new Zemi Beach
House Resort is found,
is the most beloved of
them all – a quiet, two-mile stretch of
white sand with perfect turquoise water.
The island’s capital, The Valley, is close
by, with some of the best restaurants and
high-end bars in the Caribbean.

WHAT’S INSIDE
Take your pick. Zemi Beach House has
50 private residences for sale, including
open-plan, three-bedroom penthouses
up to $3.5m built in a fresh, clean style
with hardwood floors and natural stone.
They have access to hotel facilities, which include
pools, beach attendants, fitness centre, spa and
restaurants. Each has its own private terrace and
the beachfront houses, penthouses and deluxe
studios have plunge pools.

HEAD FOR
THE HILLS
Leave the sea behind for
a day, turning inland to
Mallorca’s wine country.
Wine tasting in Binissalem
will put you on the
doorstep of a number
of vineyards – the best
known is José L. Ferrer.

LOCATION
Just around the corner from the
bustling port of Palma de Mallorca
and only 30 minutes from the airport.

USP
Designed by Philippe Starck,
this modern marina boasts
11 restaurants, with Mediterranean
fare and gourmet seafood, or you can
peruse the high-end shops.

WHAT’S NEW
Port Adriano was revamped in 2012,
with new berths for yachts up to
60 metres and a refit and repair area.
A nightclub opens this summer, too.

YACHT FACILITIES
The marina has a total of 491 berths,
70 of which can accommodate
superyachts with a draught of seven
metres. The longest yacht it can
accommodate is 100 metres.

HOT HANGOUTS
Anguilla may be laid
back (flip-flops are the
footwear of choice) but it
has one of the best dining
scenes in the Caribbean.
The Sandy Ground strip
has a number of
fashionable restaurants
and bars, including Veya,
a treehouse-style
restaurant with
inventive seafood, and
Johnno’s Beach Stop,
an Anguilla institution
with its Sunday jazz
sessions. There are
five moorings available
near by at Lower Shoal
Bay for boats up to
50 metres as well as
other mooring spots
elsewhere on the
island. A marina for
yachts up to 61 metres is also being built.
