The white domes, arches and intricately carved lattice windows
The white domes, arches and intricately carved lattice windows may remind you of Morocco. But the immaculate beach and the relaxed atmosphere are definitely more ‘Caribbean’
Anguilla is continuously kissed by gentle, cooling Trade Winds, making a stroll along the water’s edge on the mile-long beach at Cap Juluca pure bliss. Turn back towards the glistening white resort and the view is of modern Moroccan riads standing against a background of waving palms. Far from being out of place, the architecture of Cap Juluca adds an extra sense of the exotic to the scene.
Stay at this ultra-cool resort during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to the West Indies and you’ll find yourself dining on globally-inspired cuisine in an elegant, covered yet open air restaurant, with a colonnade overlooking the sea. You’ll be sleeping in a spacious villa with white décor accentuated by Arabian artefacts and cooled by soft breezes wafting in from your private terrace.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
