A new to-do checklist at Four Seasons Resort Anguilla provides guests a way to ensure they know about, and can experience, some of the iconic, must-do activities on the island. While the island is known for its beautiful 33 beaches, there are plenty of other activities to keep guests coming back for more.
Anguilla has been named the #1 island in the Caribbean by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine for the third consecutive year (2017, 2018, and 2019). While beaches were one of the reasons for the accolade, the readers were also asked to rate the islands according to their activities and sights, natural attractions, food, friendliness and overall value. Obviously, the readers agree that Anguilla has a lot to offer.
“There were so many great things to include on the list that it was nearly impossible to limit it to just 23, but we thought 100 was too many,” laughed Melisha Maccow, manager of special events at Four Seasons Anguilla.
A few check list items include:
Jumping off the rock at Little Bay (many celebrities have done this and posted as an Instagrammable moment)
Eating a Johnny cake (or “journey” cake as they were known years ago)
Sailing/boat racing (the national sport of Anguilla)
Having a photo taken with music legend Bankie Banx
Learning to play dominos with the locals
The complete list can be viewed under the Services and Amenities section of the website. In addition to this list, guests can learn about Anguilla with programs offered at the resort including: island culinary traditions with hands-on cooking classes; cultural presentations by a local historian and parliamentarian; SOCA fitness classes; and more.
More Activities
Additionally, guests looking for an extraordinary vacation experience can visit the property’s notable Sea Centre and Sports Pavilion for access to a variety of activities such as windsurfing, paddle boarding, pro tennis lessons and rock climbing, while little ones find adventures at Kids For All Seasons (KFAS). From art projects to local cooking classes, KFAS provides complimentary child care with skilled staff members, allowing Mom and Dad time to explore the Resort and its many offerings such as the luxury spa and wellness centre.
While the list of 23 items provides a good outline of activities, guests are encouraged to create their own list and discover what makes Anguilla truly special to them.
