If one had to choose a single word to describe this luxurious hideaway on Anguilla's southwest coast, that word would be magical. Picture white Moorish-style two-story villas with arches, domes, turrets and parapets, set off by a white powder beach, azure sky and aquamarine sea.

It's intimate, romantic and aims to please with oversized bathrooms (double bathtubs in most), private sunning terraces, indoor/outdoor showers, and butlers trained by the UK's Ivor Spencer School. Pool villas offer a private pool and sundeck and include golf carts for transport around the property. But for real relaxation, there's the spa, with its array of international therapies including the Cap Juluca Ritual for Two, Javanese Lulur Royal Ritual, Balinese and Thai massage, regression therapy, kinesiology and more. Group and private yoga sessions, personal training, meditation and massage can also be arranged. The wellness program has been expanded to include a Mind, Body, Spirit plan that includes spiritual astrology, shamanic work, psychospiritual work, intuitive healing and energetics.

New experiences await here, including a gastronomic package, in coordination with the hotel's executive chef, which highlights celebrated American and French chefs and noted vineyards.
