Malliouhana

Malliouhana put Anguilla on the map as the ultimate luxury getaway. The oceanfront resort continues to set the standard for modern day island glamour set atop a bluff that rolls down to pristine white sands and azure-blue sea. From vibrant island cuisine to Caribbean seaside adventures, Malliouhana exudes the magic of Anguilla. Spacious beachfront accommodations, a cascading infinity pool with dramatic views, an award-winning spa, and a beach bar that epitomizes toes-in-the-sand relaxation make Malliouhana a true beachfront oasis. Enjoy island living at its best as you lounge amidst the privacy of Turtle Cove, soak up the sun on the island’s best beach at Meads Bay, or take in Anguilla’s rich and dynamic culinary and music scenes.

In the early years, a visit to Malliouhana for sunset drinks was our most magical Caribbean vacation must-do. We dined at the Malliouhana Bistro, always craving and loving their true French-style French fries. As children, we were envious of the kids who got to play in «The Pirate Ship.» My Mom, would have loved to spend the day at the luxurious Malliouhana Spa! It was the perfect Anguilla resort.

As time passed, we fed our curiosity about the island, trying new spots for lunch and drinks, and visiting different Anguilla hotels and resorts too. For a while we were distracted from our original special spot on the island.

It wasn’t until a few years later when our nostalgic connection with Malliouhana was revisited…

Despite all of the visits to Anguilla, Malliouhana, and the hundreds of walks along their beach (Meads Bay), we had never truly been acquainted with the whole luxurious Anguilla resort. We were always on the outside peeking into the private, quiet, and calm hotel. The thought of what it was like within always lingered.

By coincidence we encountered Bart van Deventer (Malliouhana’s Resort Manager). He invited us to see the resort in its entirety, enjoy Malliouhana’s magical sunset (again), and later dine at their five star restaurant.

We happily accepted his invitation. Little did we know…

Malliouhana was Anguilla’s first luxury resort. It is owned by the Roydon family who built it in the 1980s. It was designed by Lawrence Peabody, an affluent American who was prominent in the design world, and who lived for many years in Haiti. Knowing the Peabody family personally, and hearing of the love and dedication that went into creating the Malliouhana, enhanced my appreciation for this historic hotel.

Malliouhana defines true Caribbean luxury as it was intended by a classic figure who lived «the wealthy Caribbean lifestyle.»

Perched atop a panoramic cliff overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea and extending to the fine white sands of Meads Bay and Turtle Cove beaches, lies the tropical oasis of Malliouhana. Ten hectares of lush gardens merge with 2.4 kilometers of pristine white-sand beaches. Malliouhana’s spacious rooms offer elegant furnishings, state-of-the-art technology, and spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. Malliouhana provides a completely immersive experience.
