Anguilla: Where the elite retreat
USA TODAY

ANGUILLA, British West Indies — Well-tended women in skin-baring frocks and tanned men in pricey tropical shirts sip after-dinner drinks in the Moorish-themed restaurant of Cap Juluca resort, while a jazz singer croons and the Caribbean laps below the terrace.

It's no secret that this Fantasy Island resort (voted No. 1 in the Caribbean in 2003 by the readers of both Travel & Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler), where a high-season stay starts at about $1,000 daily, is an elite retreat that draws Denzel Washington, Donatella Versace, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Kline, Janet Jackson, Liam Neeson and business moguls from around the globe.

Just returned from St Martin and of course a return visit to Anquilla. Junks hole bay beach tops my fav. Although Meads bay is nice as well. Can't wait to go back.
