Hotels - Tranquility Beach

www.tranquilitybeachanguilla.com

Tranquility Beach is a brand spanking new condo property right on Meads Bay. It’s been developed by our friend Neil Freeman and just welcomed the first guests over Christmas.

The property consists of three villas. Each villa is three floors with the top floor being a three bedroom, second floor can be either a two bedroom or converted into one bedrooms, and on the first floor there are two one bedrooms. Floor plans on the website can give you a good sense of the layout and exact square footage in each type of suite. The three and two bedrooms are great options for friends/family to share! 

Each suite has a full kitchen, dining and sitting area and a terrace with a hot / cold tub. While the first villa is considered “beachfront,” the other two villas are no more than 100 yards from the beach and have unobstructed ocean views from the side.

Other amenities on the property include a full gym, full beach set-up with attendants (drinks!), and a concierge to help with anything you need. While there is no restaurant on property, it’s just a few steps down Meads Bay Beach to a number of other restaurants, including Malliouhana Hotel, Blanchard’s Beach Shack, Straw Hat at Frangipani Hotel, and Jacala.

Neil offered us a generous discount, which we’re so happy to share with you. They are also offering our guests a seventh night free if you book for six nights!

Turtle’s Nest is a beachfront hotel / condo right on Mead’s Bay. It’s next to Frangipani Hotel, home of the Straw Hat Restaurant. You can’t beat the location!

If you’re interested definitely book as soon as possible as they only have four to five studio condos available. Studio condos sleep one to two people with either a twin or king bed set-up. All condos have full air conditioning. The 500 sqare foot studio includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a patio overlooking the beach.

The hotel has a nice sized pool right on the ocean and full beach set-up with chairs and umbrellas. There is no restaurant, but Straw Hat is right next door and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. There is also a small café with coffee, pastries and snacks next door at Meads Bay Beach Villas. You are a short walk down the beach to all the spots on Meads Bay. There is also a concierge on property to help with anything you need.

Hotels - Carimar Beach Club

www.carimar.com

Carimar is situated right on Meads Bay next to Malliouhana Hotel.

The rooms are one or two-bedroom, and each has a full kitchen, living room/sitting area, and patio. And there’s a major post-Irma improvement: all rooms, including the living room have full air conditioning. The bathrooms have also been fully updated.

There are three beachview rooms still available, so if you’re interested book it as soon as possible. The beachview rooms are in a horseshoe around a garden area backing away from the beach. But the furthest villa building is about 100 yards from the beach, and you have ocean/beach views from every room.

The resort has beach set-up, free bikes and tennis courts, and a concierge that can set up anything you might need to do. There is not a restaurant at Carimar (that's why there are kitchens), but you are obviously right next to Malliouhana Hotel including their new beachfront casual spot called Leon’s, in addition to the hotel’s fine dining restaurant. Meads Bay Beach is also home to a number of other restaurants, including Blanchard’s Beach Shack, Straw Hat at Frangipani Hotel, and Jacala.

Beach View 1 Bedroom – $320 until April 30, $270 starting May 1

Beach View 2 Bedrooms – $440 until April 30, $370 starting May 1

*Rates do not include the 10 percent government tax and 12 percent service charge.

Welcome back to our hilariously outdated wedding blog! 

The random snail mail just hit mailboxes. Maybe you’re wondering exactly what sort of nonsense is brewing…

We’ve almost made it to ten years of marriage, which means the wedding weekend reunion is just around the corner… May 1, 2020!

Hey, we know you’ve got lots going on between the kids, the job, life in general. So of course, we want you to celebrate life with us on Anguilla, but please feel no pressure whatsoever to attend. We won’t cut you off completely if you can’t make it.

So, all that aside, here’s what we’re thinking for #TenYearsOneLove.

You and your husband / wife / boyfriend / girlfriend / BFF who likes to party fly down to join us in Anguilla sometime in the range of late April. We’re hosting a rollicking beach party on our actual anniversary, Friday, May 1. And then you fly out whenever the heck you want.

We’ll plan some other gatherings like dinners, happy hours, a beach day, a dance party at Elvis’ and those details will become clear early next year. The idea is that you’ll see the best of Anguilla at your leisure.

The island has rebuilt stronger than ever after Hurricane Irma in 2017. Some of our favorite places were lost forever, like the Pump House and the location of our wedding, Smokey’s at the Cove. But for every location lost, something new has sprung up around the corner.

If you think you might be interested in joining the most fun weekend ever to celebrate “one love” and our love for you, email and let us know. No hard RSVP here clearly, but if you even have a general interest we’d love to know.

We’ll be updating this website in the coming weeks and months with flight information (no need to book until early next year, in case you forgot it’s easiest to fly into St. Maarten), hotel recommendations, plus fun stuff to get you excited about traveling back to our home away from home.

We love you guys! 

Korinne + D.J.

#FiveYearsOneLove

The wedding weekend reunion started out with a little party planning.

Ernie, our favorite event planner on the island, and Garvey, the man behind the Sunshine Shack, set us up for a beautiful night.

We were all having too much fun to stop and take many photos.

Epic night. Can't believe how time flies. We can't wait to do it all over again!
