Shoal Bay Villas

Shoal Bay Villas was a very managed resort on a beautiful beach in Anguilla! We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment - with full kitchen and bath - that was spacious, very clean, well outfitted and comfortable. Though we were too late reserving to get a beach front condo, we still had a nice view of the water through the vestibule of the building in front of us. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone was always smiling, helpful and gracious. We especially liked that Shoal Bay had 'reserved' Palapas. It was so nice to not have to race down to the beach in the morning to 'reserve' our beach loungers with towels and books. It's a small thing but made the stay more relaxing. That being said, being there the week after new years meant that the beaches and resort were uncrowded. All in all, a resort that I would highly recommend and plan to return to.

Shoal Bay Villas is the best place to stay on Anguilla! All staff is very friendly and helpful. Rachel is the best she helped us from the beginning getting us booked to a car rental and when our flight was delayed and couldn't get on another for 2 days she helped us with a ferry and taxi so we were still able to get onto the island same day! The pictures do not do this place justice... the property and rooms are so clean and up to date modern furniture has replaced the older style furniture also steps away from the beach! Sunrise and sunsets every day steps outside your door to the best beach Shoal Bay East absolutely stunning and beautiful! We love SBV! We would return!

The property was exceptionally well kept, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and seamless. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable—A+ across the board. A special thank you to Monica, Trish, and Isabel for consistently going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I felt genuinely cared for throughout my stay and can’t wait to come back again soon.

This is the most beautiful beach on the island and to stay at Shoal Bay Villas is amazing! Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Rachel goes above and beyond from our delayed plane trip she booked a ferry from st Martin and a taxi to get us here same day instead of waiting for a next available flight 2 days later! She really took care of us and everyone else here are willing to help! The rooms are spacious and updated with modern look you don't see in the photos very clean and they clean everyday for you! I wouldn't choose a "higher end" place over this beach just stunning right outside our porch! We love it here and would return!

Our stay at Shoal Bay Villas was beyond OUTSTANDING! I can't recommend this place enough. I took my girlfriend to Anguilla for her birthday, but it had to be postponed due to a tragedy in her family. We were able to take this trip on a later date and Rachel was a big part of that. She was extremely accommodating and supportive at all times. Have to give her full credit for that. Sometimes in adversity and hardship you get to see the best or the worst from people. Rachel was a true angel and for that we'll be forever grateful. Her place is true paradise, on an incredible location and with everything you need to spend the vacations of your dreams. Fully equipped kitchen, super comfortable bed, super spacious living room. The whole unit is very spacious and the view!! Don't get me started on that incredible view from our balcony. Having breakfast every morning on that balcony with that view makes you feel grateful to be alive. Thank you Rachel and Shoal Bay Villas for an incredible and memorable vacation. We will return!!

Just back from a week at Shoal Bay Villas and it was perfect for us in every way. Great rooms, great service, great people. All on the most amazing beach I could imagine. Can’t wait to return.

Nothing beats a Shoal Bay sunrise … except maybe a shoal bay sunset? Shoal Bay Villas- the perfect place in Anguilla for a relaxing stay. Gorgeous self contained villas with vibrant Caribbean colours, right on one of the most amazing beaches in the world! The Haskins family are the consummate hosts, going above and beyond to ensure the perfect stay. I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at Shoal Bay Villas and my family and friends cannot stop taking about how beautiful and how amazing everything was. Thanks, SBV for the most epic time!

We stayed at Shoal Bay Villas on Anguilla’s Shoal Bay East beach… and So Glad we did! Anguilla is a destination that people come back year over year. Many time repeat visitors told us they have stayed at several places and we found the best. The beach at Shoal Bay East is incredible, the pool is nice but you will probably spend most your time in the warm turquoise ocean, and good beach restaurants are a short walk away. See above for Shoal Bay East beach description and restaurants recommendations on the beach or a drive away.||Shoal Bay Villa loans snorkel gear and in a closet by the pool they have beach toys for the kids and ocean flotations. Pretty nice snorkeling is just out to the right on the far side of the close reef.||Shoal Bay Villas offers a variety of accommodations at different price levels - all air conditioned with covered balconies or patios and full kitchens equipped with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, stove, blender, and coffee maker. We chose a one-bedroom villa closest to the ocean view. The view to the ocean was amazing and wonderful for sitting with a cocktail, having breakfast, or enjoying wonderful sunsets. The staff is very helpful with restaurant reservations and other suggestions to make your visit to Anguilla special. Get this: you are assigned your own private beach lounges with shade so no need to get up early and reserve a spot.||We decided to stay on what many return visitors we spoke to consider Anguilla’s most beautiful beach - Shoal Bay East voted one of the 'Top 10 beaches in the Caribbean' by USA Today. It definitely lives up to its reputation with a relaxed vibe and breathtaking warm crystal-clear turquoise ocean water, powder-like white sand beach with palm trees, and nice laid-back beach restaurants/bars on the beach. ||At sunset a whole other beauty appears sparking a discussion about which of the many good restaurants to have dinner. Wonderful!… Anguilla is what we aspire for in a Caribbean adventure!||Like most beaches in Anguilla, it is easy to find a quiet spot on Shoal Bay East beach. The beach has very gentle waves making it great for swimming and relaxing to the sound of gentle waves. It also has some of the best snorkeling on Anguilla along the nearby reefs on the east end of the beach accessed with a short swim from the shore. Shoal Bay East is a Caribbean paradise. ||Shoal Bay East Beach Restaurants: Very good Anguilla beachfront restaurants are located within a few minutes walking distance. Do not miss Madeariman open for lunch and dinner - wonderful location, food, and service. For lunch Ola’s Bar and Grill, Tropical Sunset, and Elodias are nice. For a truly Caribbean vibe join the fun and dancing with a painkiller rum drink and live reggae music on Sunday evenings at Gwen’s Reggae Bar and Grill. Located at the west end of Shoal Bay East beach, the upscale Zemi Beach House offers a wonderful breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was great to treat ourselves to their fantastic (and pricey) breakfast buffet. Dinner at Zemi Beach House’s 20 Knots laid back luxury beach restaurant was exceptional, well priced, and the lighting and music made it special (try the Caribbean mild curry and seafood dishes).||More good dinner options are located a short drive away from Shoal Bay East at Anguilla’s Island Harbour such as Ben’s Pit Stop for French food, Artisan for Italian, and you must treat yourself to the wonderful grilled lobster with your feet in the sand at Falcon’s Nest - amazing!||Anguilla is a relatively small Caribbean island but mighty in its offerings - stunning uncrowded soft sand beaches with breathtaking warm turquoise ocean water and gentle waves, great culinary scene with a variety of upscale restaurants as well as laid-back beach restaurants/bars, upscale accommodations with feet-in-the-sand laid-back luxury, low visitor numbers making it uncrowded, and English spoken everywhere. Also, what makes Anguilla exceptional is the genuinely friendly people who make you feel at home with wonderful hospitality. We have been fortunate to have visited 23 Caribbean islands and now consider Anguilla our favorite.
