Located along Anguilla’s southwestern coast, Rendezvous Bay is the longest stretch of beach on the island. It’s long been known for its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and strong local character, making it a favorite among both residents and repeat visitors. You won’t find high-rise resorts here—just boutique hotels and a curated collection of Rendezvous Bay villas that blend seamlessly into the coastline.
Rendezvous Bay has played an important role in Anguilla’s history. As its name suggests, the bay served as a natural meeting point for boats traveling to St. Martin, thanks to its calm, protected waters. Nearby Rendezvous Bay Pond was central to the island’s salt production from the 17th century onward, and in 1958, the area became home to Anguilla’s first beach resort—marking the beginning of tourism on the island.
Today, Rendezvous Bay attracts travelers seeking laid-back luxury and space to unwind. The beach is ideal for long walks, swimming, and paddleboarding, with gentle waters and uninterrupted views across the Caribbean Sea. It’s one of the island’s most walkable beaches, with a relaxed rhythm that feels authentic rather than staged.
Rental Escapes makes renting a luxury villa in Rendezvous Bay easy. Start by choosing your travel dates and group size. From there, your Rental Escapes Villa Specialist will present the best available Rendezvous Bay villas for your stay. Your dedicated Concierge then customizes every detail, from transfers and private chef service to excursions, golf tee times, and boat charters.
Staying in a Rendezvous Bay villa means enjoying one of Anguilla’s most iconic beaches without crowds or congestion. Villas here offer a rare combination of beachfront access, privacy, and proximity to some of the island’s best dining and activities.
Many villas open directly onto the sand or sit just steps from the shoreline, allowing you to swim, walk the beach, or enjoy sunset views whenever you like. The bay’s calm waters make it especially appealing for families, while the west-facing orientation delivers some of the island’s most memorable sunsets.
Rendezvous Bay also places you close to key points around the island. You’re minutes from Blowing Point for ferry access, a short drive from Meads Bay for upscale dining, and right beside the Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club, home to the island’s only championship golf course.
Rendezvous Bay villas are thoughtfully positioned along the beach and surrounding areas to preserve the bay’s natural character. Architectural styles emphasize indoor-outdoor living, with open layouts, shaded terraces, private pools, and landscaped gardens that frame ocean views.
Villas can be found throughout the area, including the eastern end near the Aurora golf course, the central stretch close to the bay’s well-known beach bars, and the western edge, which offers increased privacy and sunset-facing views.
No matter where you stay, expect refined homes designed for comfort, space, and relaxed island living—paired with easy access to restaurants, beach bars, and long, uninterrupted walks along the shore.
