Dramatically positioned along Anguilla's northern coastline, Little Bay Anguilla offers something fundamentally different from the island's more accessible beaches. This secluded cove sits tucked beneath surrounding cliffs, creating a setting that feels genuinely removed from Anguilla’s busier beach areas. Where places like Meads Bay offer effortless beachfront access and Shoal Bay Village delivers a lively beach scene, Little Bay rewards travelers seeking privacy, drama, and a sense of discovery.
The area’s defining feature is its clifftop geography. Villas are set high above the water, capturing expansive Atlantic Ocean views and steady cooling breezes. From elevated terraces and infinity pools, you look down onto pristine sand and turquoise water framed by natural rock formations. Beach access requires descending a steep cliff path to Little Bay itself, while nearby Crocus Bay offers easier access, beachfront dining, and watersports for days when convenience matters more than seclusion.
What makes Little Bay particularly compelling is how it balances isolation with accessibility. Its northern location places you within easy driving distance of both Anguilla’s airport and ferry terminal, while remaining close to Crocus Bay’s restaurant scene. At the same time, the clifftop setting creates a natural buffer from development. There are no beach clubs, resorts, or commercial strips here; just a handful of villas designed around views, privacy, and the landscape itself.
Booking Little Bay Anguilla villas through Rental Escapes starts with your travel dates and group size. Your Villa Specialist presents the best available options, while your Concierge arranges transfers, provisioning, optional chef service, rental vehicles, and any island experiences you’d like to include.
Little Bay villas reflect the area’s dramatic terrain. Properties are positioned on elevated clifftop sites rather than directly on the sand, prioritizing panoramic ocean views and architectural impact over beachfront convenience. Contemporary design dominates, with floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive outdoor living areas, and infinity pools that visually blend into the sea beyond.
With only a small number of villas in this intimate area, each property offers a distinct experience. Some operate as fully staffed private resorts with all-inclusive programming, while others deliver a more traditional villa stay with housekeeping and optional services.
Featured Little Bay villas include:
ÀNI Anguilla: A two-villa private compound accommodating up to 20 guests across North and South residences. This all-inclusive estate functions as a self-contained private resort, with gourmet dining, daily spa treatments, excursions, beverages, watersports equipment, and children’s programming all included. Amenities include two pools, hot tubs, a private tennis court, and multiple viewing platforms designed to showcase sweeping Atlantic views. Full staffing includes chefs, butlers, housekeepers, and childcare. While the villas sit above the beach, golf carts are available for trips to Crocus Bay, and confident guests can access Little Bay via the cliff path below. ÀNI Anguilla is best suited for multi-generational families, retreats, and celebrations seeking complete privacy and comprehensive service.
Little Bay View Villa: A modern three-bedroom villa perched above Little Bay Beach, designed around indoor-outdoor living and uninterrupted sea views. The infinity pool terrace serves as the primary gathering space, while each bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking the water. The beach lies approximately 120 meters away, accessed via the characteristic cliff path, while Crocus Bay’s restaurants and watersports are just a short drive away. Housekeeping is included, with optional chef service available. This villa is well suited to smaller groups or families seeking contemporary design, privacy, and dramatic scenery.
Little Bay is defined by its clifftop setting and secluded beach below. Villas sit high above the water rather than directly on the sand, offering sweeping ocean views and a strong sense of privacy. The adventurous access keeps the beach quiet and uncrowded, creating a far more natural, untouched feel than Anguilla’s more accessible beach areas.
Little Bay is best for travelers who value privacy, dramatic views, and a quieter environment over easy beach access. It suits confident swimmers, adventurous guests, and groups comfortable using nearby beaches like Crocus Bay when they want dining and amenities.
Little Bay Beach is accessed via a steep cliff path assisted by ropes. This keeps the beach uncrowded but makes it unsuitable for guests with mobility limitations or very young children. Many visitors alternate between Little Bay and nearby Crocus Bay for easier access.
Yes. Little Bay is residential and clifftop, with no shops or restaurants within walking distance. A rental car or private driver is recommended for reaching beaches, dining, and other parts of the island. Your Concierge can arrange transportation in advance.
