Long Bay Village, Anguilla

Malliouhana Resort

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose Malliouhana for bluff-top Caribbean views, access to several west-end beaches and a resort rhythm that suits couples and families.

About the hotel

On Anguilla’s west end, Malliouhana occupies a 25-acre bluff-top site above Meads Bay, Turtle Cove and Bobbing Cove, with views across the Caribbean and access to white-sand beaches. Guestrooms and suites are complemented by four villas a short drive away; the tiered infinity pool, spa and varied dining venues give the stay a strong on-property rhythm. The setting pairs broad ocean panoramas with easy shifts between beach time, water activities and quiet time by the pool.

Choose it if

You want a choice of beach settings, from Meads Bay’s shoreline to the more secluded Turtle Cove and Bobbing Cove.
You like having pool time, spa facilities and water activities alongside the beach, without needing to leave the resort for every part of the day.
You’re traveling with children and value a kids’ club for ages 5–12, children’s menus and a family-friendly pool.

Skip it if

You’re planning a late-summer or early-autumn stay: the hotel says it typically closes around late August or early September and reopens November 1.
You want an urban base rather than a bluff-top resort oriented around beaches and sea views.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

Guests describe a retro-glam feel, with one singling out the main property's lower lobby as especially striking in the golden-hour light. Service impressions were less consistent: one guest found staff support uneven beyond the front desk.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“Has a bit of a retro glam feel to it. The main property lower lobby is absolutely stunning during golden hour.”

“Other than the front desk, the rest of the staff/service was hit or miss.”

The Maybourne Riviera

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France

Beach65 roomsSea Views

Set on a rocky peninsula above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, The Maybourne Riviera looks across the Mediterranean toward Monaco. Its 65 suites and studios each have a private balcony and sea views, while the hotel’s modernist architecture follows the cliffside. The experience centers on that elevated coastal outlook, with a seasonal private beach club below and Surrenne Riviera’s wellness facilities on site.
