Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla

The design is by the same Kelly Wearstler whose maximalist sensibility has attracted so much attention for the stateside Viceroys, but here the look is a much more sedate one — still eclectic as ever, from driftwood-inspired furnishings to eye-catching objets d’art, but it’s a style that’s as much soothing as it is stimulating. And there’s plenty for the other senses as well: this is a luxury experience, make no mistake, with full kitchens, private sundecks, and private pools in many of the villas.

It’s boutique style with the full resort experience: pools, spa, endless beach, restaurants, water sports, the whole package. And while Anguilla may not yet be on the same short list of first-choice holiday destinations with Miami and LA, the way things are going it won’t be long before it is.
