Malliouhana · Anguilla

The Malliouhana Experience

Malliouhana is the "Grand Dame" of Anguilla, but she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Perched high on a bluff overlooking Meads Bay and Turtle Cove, this resort feels like the glamorous, fun-loving aunt of the Caribbean hotel scene. While its neighbors lean into quiet minimalism, Malliouhana embraces color and joy—think celadon walls, saffron-yellow umbrellas, and a design aesthetic often described as "Elizabeth Taylor meets Tom Ford".

The energy here is infectious. From the moment you step onto the shimmering mirrored mosaic floor of the open-air lobby, you feel a shift in mood. It isn't just about relaxation; it is about revival. Whether you are sipping a rum punch at the cascading infinity pools or watching the sun drop into the sea from the bluff-edge bar, everything feels cinematic, retro-chic, and undeniably romantic.

The Highlight Reel

  • The Arrival: An open-air lobby with a mirrored mosaic floor that reflects the sea and sky, instantly setting a glamorous tone.

  • The Setting: A dramatic bluff-top location that offers commanding views over two of the island's best beaches: Meads Bay and Turtle Cove.

  • The Standout: The iconic two-tiered infinity pool that seems to cascade directly into the Caribbean Sea below.

  • The Dining: Celeste, where the tables are tiered so every single guest gets a sunset view with their dinner.

  • The Details: Thoughtful turndown amenities that change nightly, from house-made sleepy-time tea to soothing after-sun lotion.

Why We Love It

  • Location: The privacy of a cliffside enclave with immediate access to the social scene of Meads Bay.

  • Style: Maximalist island glamour—bright, bold, and full of personality.

  • Mood: Playful, social, and sophisticated without being stiff.

Ideal For

Couples who want a vacation with a pulse, friends seeking a stylish getaway, and travelers who prefer "fun luxury" over silence.
