Pelican Bay Villa: Anguilla's Quiet Waterfront Hideaway on the Southern Shore
A five-bedroom oceanfront villa in Blowing Point with St. Martin on the horizon
Why Go
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on Anguilla's southern shore, Pelican Bay Villa sits right on the water of its namesake bay, where the view rolls straight across the channel to the mountains of St. Martin. It's the kind of place where the ferry-port bustle is minutes away, yet the loudest thing you'll hear is the sea.
The Experience
This is a modern, full-service villa stay rather than a hotel in the traditional sense ΓÇö five bedrooms sleeping up to ten, split between a main house and a poolside guest cottage. Three king bedrooms anchor the main villa, two facing the ocean and one overlooking the tropical garden, while the guest house hides a fourth king suite upstairs and a games room with a pool table below. Days revolve around the central swimming pool and its wraparound lounging deck, made for sunbathing, al fresco dinners, and sunset watching over the water. Daily housekeeping, air-conditioning, and WiFi throughout keep things effortless, so the villa works equally well for multi-generational family trips or a group of friends splitting a week in paradise.
What to Try
Claim the lounging deck at golden hour ΓÇö the villa faces south toward St. Martin, and the evening light over the channel is the property's signature show. Challenge someone to a match in the ground-floor games room, then walk down to Blowing Point beach, just a short stroll away. Save one morning for Rendezvous Bay, one of Anguilla's most celebrated stretches of white sand, only minutes from the villa.
Insider Tip
Pelican Bay Villa's location near the Blowing Point ferry terminal is a quiet superpower: you can hop the public ferry to Marigot, St. Martin for a French-Caribbean lunch and be back at the pool by mid-afternoon ΓÇö no car ferry logistics or airport transfers required. Book the ocean-view king bedrooms first if your group has early risers; they get the best morning light over the water.
