Le Bleu Villa: Anguilla's Grand Oceanfront Estate at Little Harbour
An 11-suite private estate where barefoot Caribbean luxury meets full-staff, resort-level service.
Why Go
Hidden along the quiet crescent of Little Harbour on Anguilla's central south coast, Le Bleu isn't a hotel in the conventional sense ΓÇö it's a two-acre-plus private waterfront compound that sleeps up to 22, complete with its own secluded sandy cove, tennis court, twin pools and a dedicated staff. For families, wedding parties and groups who want a five-star resort experience without sharing it with strangers, this is one of the island's most coveted addresses.
The Experience
Le Bleu is part of the exclusive Little Harbour Estates enclave, set on roughly 2.5 acres of pristine oceanfront overlooking the calm, reef-protected waters of Cinnamon Reef. The estate pairs a grand contemporary main house with a separate guesthouse, Petite Le Bleu, for a total of 11 ensuite bedrooms ΓÇö ten with king beds, one with a queen. Days unfold between the infinity pool, the water garden, the thatched gazebo at the water's edge and the property's two secluded natural beaches. The design is sleek and modern, with expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces built for large gatherings, while the protected bay keeps the sea gentle enough for swimming and paddling straight off the sand.
What to Try
Book the estate's full culinary service: Le Bleu comes with a full-time private chef ΓÇö the villa's renowned Executive Chef Sweets ΓÇö plus butler and dedicated food-and-beverage staff, so ask for a bespoke Anguillian menu featuring fresh-caught local seafood served in the beachfront gazebo. Start a morning with the beachfront yoga sessions offered on-property, then follow with a swim in the calm cove before the sun gets high. Groups should claim a sunset hour at the infinity pool terrace ΓÇö the light over the reef-fringed bay is the estate's signature moment.
Insider Tip
Little Harbour is one of Anguilla's quietest bays ΓÇö the reef keeps the water flat and the beach here is effectively private to the estate, so it's ideal for young children and non-swimmers who find the open Atlantic-side beaches intimidating. Because Le Bleu rents as a whole estate, per-person rates for a full group of 20+ can be surprisingly competitive against booking multiple suites at the island's flagship resorts ΓÇö and you get the tennis court, two pools and staff to yourselves. Book well ahead for the DecemberΓÇôApril high season and for spring wedding dates, which sell out earliest.
The Practical Stuff
Located at Little Harbour on Anguilla's mid-isle south coast, about 10ΓÇô15 minutes' drive from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport and the Blowing Point ferry terminal (with connections to St. Maarten). The estate operates as a fully staffed private villa rental: 11 ensuite bedrooms across the main house and Petite Le Bleu guesthouse, sleeping up to 22. Rates are in the ultra-luxury bracket and typically include chef, butler and service staff; minimum-stay requirements commonly apply in high season. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island's beaches and restaurants. Book directly or through established Anguilla villa agencies.
