You’ve planned your perfect wedding, but now you’re planning your perfect honeymoon. Fortunately, Anguilla is scenic and ready for you and your new spouse to celebrate your love.
Anguilla is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, with white sand beaches, crystal clear water, gorgeous scenery, and a sense of privacy – what more could you want in an island honeymoon?
Because it’s a less-traveled island, Anguilla is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway that lets you focus on your partner. Whether you spend the day on the beach, explore the island on hikes, take a horseback ride, or go snorkeling in incredible locations, there are many ways to make your honeymoon unique to you.
Romantic Activities in Anguilla
There’s no shortage of fun and bond-building experiences in Anguilla. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or a bit of adrenaline, you’ll be able to tailor your honeymoon to fit the exact mood you’re hoping to set.
Beach Lounging
Nothing is better than spending the day on the beach. Anguilla has 33 beaches for you and the love of your life to pick from. The good news is that there are a few that stand out for a great day out.
Shoal Bay is the top-ranked beach in Anguilla, and maybe even in the world. This picturesque beach features fine, white sand and calm waters perfect for swimming. The beach is also near hotels, restaurants, and beach bars, as well as pastel-colored umbrellas that you can lounge under. Despite being well-rated and near businesses, Shoal Bay isn’t the busiest beach on the island.
Road Bay – Sandy Ground Beach is the best place to experience the heart of Anguilla, as the beach backs up to a wide variety of local restaurants and smaller boutique hotels. Sandy Ground is the perfect spot to stake out a spot at a restaurant and watch the incredible sunset because it’s one of the few beaches on the island that faces west.
Meads Bay is one of the island’s biggest beaches, drawing in tourists from around the world. This expansive beach has many accommodations and restaurants nearby, which makes it the perfect place to set up for a day of lounging between shopping and eating.
Rendezvous Bay is another big beach. This beach is known for being the perfect spot for those romantic long walks on the beach. With sparkling seas, soft sands, and St. Martin as a backdrop, it’s a great spot to enjoy time with your new spouse.
Little Bay is one of Anguilla’s most remote and rewarding beaches. Surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, this cove is one of the most private beaches on the island. While there are luxury boat tours that stop in the bay, this beach is anything but crowded. To get to this romantic hideaway, you’ll need to visit Crocus Bay, rent a kayak, or take a local shuttle to take you to the beach to enjoy warm, clear water.
Horseback Riding
Maybe you’ve seen a scene in a movie or two where a couple rides horses on the beach. If you – or your spouse – have ever thought it looks romantic, now is your chance to try it for yourself. Anguilla’s Seaside Stables hosts multiple options for beachside horse rides. Contact the business ahead of your trip to book a time for your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Massages
The stress of wedding planning and travel can get to anyone, so your honeymoon is the perfect time to unwind. If a beachside massage seems like your calling, Anguilla has multiple options for booking a romantic couples session to help you relax.
Zemi Beach House hosts an award-winning Thai House Spa. The spa features five private suites where you can select from a variety of therapeutic massages, treatments, and facials.
Malakh Day Spa has been open on the island for over 20 years and is a truly unique experience. The spa is located outside, directly on the beach at Shoal Bay East. Malakh offers an extensive array of services, including massages, reflexology, nail treatments, facials, and body wraps.
The Plumeria Balinese Spa at Frangipani Resort has a team of professionals ready to provide a full range of massage and beauty treatments. If you stay at the resort, you can receive service in your room, but if you’re stopping by for a massage, you’ll have the option to choose between a private suite in the spa or beachside.
The Spa at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club is a holistic spa with steam rooms, outdoor showers, hydrotherapy, and saltwater soak options before and after your treatments. The oceanfront spa at Four Seasons Resort and Residences also offers an outdoor infinity pool and tranquility area for relaxation included in your treatment.
Private Boat Tours
For something truly intimate, booking a boat tour around the island or exploring specific beaches is the perfect way. Private boat operators can offer a wide variety of experiences. Whether you’re looking to drink and lounge while you see the island or have an adventurous experience with swimming and snorkeling, you can find a charter that fits your needs.

Snorkeling
Anguilla has some incredible snorkeling opportunities, and there’s nothing better for romance than having an adventure together.
Sandy Hill Bay is welcoming to all levels of snorkelers. The reef is near the shore and has good beach access. Because the bay is protected by coral rubble, the water is usually calm. There tend to be many fish, including vibrant Parrot Fish and Tangs.
Meads Bay is also a great spot to snorkel, as there are many fish to be found right off the beach. For the best snorkeling, explore near the cliff edge in front of the Viceroy. You might be able to spot some colorful Angel Fish and hidden Moray eels.
There are many other snorkeling opportunities around Anguilla. Whether you want to rent equipment or take a tour, you can find exactly what you want with our AXA Love Activities.
