Map of Anguilla charter destinations and places to visit

Getting There

Anguilla is most easily accessible through St. Martin and Princess Juliana International Airport. Once you land it is only a six-mile trip north to Anguilla.

Alternatively, you can fly directly into the Anguilla-Clayton J. Loyd Airport, which has now been expanded to accommodate private jets.

Culture

Although the two islands of St. Martin and Anguilla are geographically close, they are worlds apart in terms of their character. Anguilla lacks the deep-water ports for large cruise ships that St. Martin has. Instead, it has become a sought-after destination for smaller private charters because of its natural beauty and the privacy it affords many celebrities and wealthy visitors who frequent the island. Stylish and elegant, Anguilla welcomes the good life but at the speed suited to the more casual island lifestyle.
