Travelers may be able to mix with international celebrities who have come to Anguilla to escape the limelight, but they won't be doing it at an all-inclusive resort. With so much good food and a number of beaches, travelers are encouraged to explore the island.

While Anguilla is not known for its large and crowded all-inclusive resort complexes, some of the finest luxury hotels and resorts in the Caribbean can be found on this small island. Resorts catering to vacationers and celebrities alike have internationally renowned restaurants and wine cellars to delight travelers' taste buds. Most hotels and resorts on the island will have a restaurant, and many offer spa treatments, water sports, and other amenities.

Vacationers who choose to stay at one of these fine resorts can typically choose from a number of vacation packages or meal plans to make their time in Anguilla an experience specified directly to their needs and wants. Travelers can choose from theme oriented vacation packages that cater to a certain type of experience. Spa packages will include daily treatments, allowing vacationers to relax with massages and aromatherapy. Other resorts may offer wedding and honeymoon packages that include champagne, flowers, sunset cruises, couples massages, and more. Since some of the island's finest restaurants are located at these luxury resorts, some vacation packages cater to food lovers. Many hotels have meal plans for an additional daily fee per person that can include either all three meals or only breakfast and lunch. Luxury hotels generally offer a variety of complimentary services that are included in the room rate, including non-motorized water sports, fitness facilities, and a continental breakfast.

Critics of all-inclusive vacation packages suggest that they prevent travelers from experiencing other parts of the island. Although Anguilla does not have a great number of shopping sites and popular tourist attractions, travelers should certainly not confine their vacation to a single hotel and beach. There are a number of stunning beaches and intimate offshore islands that should not be missed. Some all-inclusive packages may include the use of a rental car for a short period of time, and travelers should seize the opportunity to explore the island. Prices for four-night packages can begin as low as $799(USD), and continue to increase as benefits and nights are added.  Some seven-night stays can cost more than $10,000(USD).

Those who shy away from large, commercial resort complexes will feel at-home in Anguilla. Here, prestigious resorts that value privacy and luxury offer meal plans and other options to travelers looking for a more laid-back vacation experience.
