Anguilla’s newest private villa resort aims to be the “best of both worlds” for those who seek to get away from it all yet still want to be part of the action

With its  hillside location overlooking the white beaches and turquoise waters of Crocus Bay, this eight-villa retreat offers a “hybrid-luxury experience” for a maximum of just 75 guests. CéBlue melds the demands of elite travelers for privacy and sophistication with opportunities for entertainment and social engagement on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands.

Ranked #1 in “Specialty Lodging” by TripAdvisor, CéBlue’s distinctive, Caribbean-modern villas are architecturally designed to blend into the landscape with a linear, terraced plan that brings the outdoors indoors with lush native landscaping and offers spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea from almost every window.

Each villa has a spacious 2,000 square foot covered deck as well as 3,000 square feet of uncovered outdoor living space plus a private pool with an adjacent bath and outdoor rain shower. Guests have access to The Blue Spa for massages that minister to both muscles and mind; invigorating salt scrubs and seaweed wraps, facials and nail care as well as an extensive menu of other treatments.

Golfers can play on the nearby Greg Norman-designed championship course. Down by the water’s edge, there’s a host of non-motorized watersports activities including snorkeling.  Scuba-diving, fishing, windsurfing and sailing can also be arranged as well as the opportunity to swim with the dolphins for memories that will last a lifetime.

And, when it’s time for adult activities, The Blue Bar is the hot spot for upscale nights of casual dining, cocktails and spirits and also popular with local residents and guests from around the world.
