Meads Bay Villas & Luxury Vacation Rentals

Visitors to Anguilla must present a valid passport upon entry. If you are traveling from outside North America, Europe, or Australia, then you may need an additional tourist visa.

Most travelers first fly into St Martin (SXM). From there, you can take a ferry or private boat to Anguilla, which takes 20-25 minutes. You can also take a charter flight to Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport.
There are also direct flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and seasonal direct flights from Miami.
From the ferry terminal or airport, it’s about a 15-20 minute drive to Meads Bay.
Your Rental Escapes Concierge can help with airport transfers, rental cars, ferries, water taxis, and any other transportation needs.

Meads Bay is very walkable. Restaurants are right on the beach, and beach bars, boutiques, and spas are just a few steps away. The whole beach takes about 15 minutes to walk.
If you want to explore more of the island, then you’ll want a rental car. This will let you enjoy nearby beaches like Barnes Bay, Rendezvous Bay, or Shoal Bay East, as well as visit towns and grocery stores. The roads are well-maintained, though driving is on the left side.
Taxis and private drivers are also available.
Lastly, a boat charter is a great way to enjoy more of Anguilla’s beautiful coast. Many charters will pick you up right on Meads Bay (if weather and sea permit). Your Rental Escapes Concierge can help with rental cars, private drivers, boat charters, and more.

Peak season in Meads Bay is from mid-December to mid-April. The weather is perfect and the atmosphere is lively, but never crowded. Everything is open, but be aware that villas book up early for this time.
Shoulder season is from mid-April to July and from November to mid-December. The weather is still warm and sunny, and May and June are drier than November. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you’ll have more space to yourself. This is a great choice if you want more value without sacrificing quality.
Off season is from August to October. The weather is more humid, and there’s a higher chance of storms. The atmosphere is very quiet, and some restaurants close. That said, you’ll have the beach almost to yourself, and this is the best time to find great deals on Meads Bay villas.
