Sheriva Villa Hotel

Anguilla is a tiny, tiny island, considered "off the beaten path" even by those who escape to nearby Antigua. It is the ultimate respite from stress, with nothing to do but relax by the ocean. In fact, you couldn't escape the ocean if you tried - the whole island is a mere 35 square miles.

The Sheriva Villa Hotel offers a range of spacious villas, from elegant one-bedrooms to seven-bedroom palaces with multiple private pools. Each suite is amply furnished with every possible electronic amenity, including wireless internet, poolside Bose surround sound, and iPod docks. Keep your kids entertained with the wide selection of DVDs, books, CDs, and games available.

When you've gotten your fill of Sheriva's seclusion, take a golf cart down to lively Maunday's Bay, where all kinds of aquatic activities await you, including snorkeling, sailing, and water-skiing. When hunger strikes, feast at more than 70 restaurants that offer diverse, affordable cuisine and exceptional wine cellars.
