Anguilla Top Things To Do

Sponsored by
Virgin Holidays
• Explore scores of deliberately sunken wrecks and award-winning underwater parks that attract schools of fish by diving in one of the seven marine parks that Anguilla offers: Prickly Pear, a beautiful canyon characterised by ledges and caverns, where nurse sharks can be seen; Little Bay, a calm, sheltered site suitable for training and night dives; Shoal Bay Harbour Reef System; Stoney Bay; Dog Island; Seal Island Reef System and Sandy Island.

• Savour traditional reggae music and cocktails under a luminous full moon at Anguilla's annual music festival, Moonsplash.

• Make the most of being surrounded by water by trying any of Anguilla's numerous watersports on offer, such as parasailing, windsurfing and waterskiing, easily organised through Shoal Bay or individual hotels.

• Penetrate Anguilla's waters: do something you will never forget and swim with friendly dolphins; go shore- or deep-sea fishing and discover an abundance of marlin, tuna, swordfish and wahoo.

Dance yourself silly at Anguilla's annual summer festival of fun, and expect to experience everything from calypso and pageants to street jams, fireworks and boat races (Anguilla's national sport).

• Take a historic tour of The Valley, available every Tuesday and Thursday (1000-1200), and also enjoy a guided rainforest tour.

• Stroll through any of Anguilla's 15 galleries and studios for a bit of culture, and consider buying your own watercolour painting for a permanent reminder of your holiday.
 
• For those who wish to dabble in aesthetics of the self, take a trip to one of Anguilla's (attractively priced) spas and be pampered: Cap Juluca; CuisinArt Resort & Spa; and Malliouhana Hotel & Spa.

• Sip a traditional Caribbean tipple while gazing at a magnificent sunset.
