My recent getaway to Anguilla was nothing short of unforgettable, and staying at Altamer Villas’ Petit Topaz made it all the more special. Tucked away on the quieter side of the island, this beautifully designed villa truly felt like a hidden gem in the Caribbean.
From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by how private and peaceful the setting was. Petit Topaz is cozy yet elegant—a perfect escape for couples or a solo recharge. The villa comes fully loaded with top-tier amenities: a private courtyard, a soothing jacuzzi, comfy lounge chairs, a light-filled upstairs loft with a day bed, and even a small kitchenette that made mornings easy.
One of my favorite parts? A delicious continental breakfast delivered every morning—fresh fruit, pastries, juice, and coffee to start each day off just right.
What really stood out to me was the friendly and amazing customer service. Every staff member I came across was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience. It felt like they went out of their way to make me feel at home, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
The bedroom was beautifully styled and opened right into the courtyard, so I could literally roll out of bed and relax in the warm jacuzzi with a coffee in hand. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches like daily housekeeping, beach chairs, and access to the resort’s tennis court, gym, concierge services—and just a short walk away is the pool, perfect for a quick dip with a view.
Another highlight was how close everything was. Shoal Bay West is just steps away—a postcard-perfect beach with soft sand and clear turquoise water. And just a five-minute drive from the villa is The Arch, a natural rock formation and one of Anguilla’s must-see photo spots. It’s quiet, dramatic, and an easy little excursion if you want to explore beyond the beach.

As incredible as the villa was, exploring Anguilla was just as magical. I spent a lot of time visiting nearby beaches and hidden gems that completely blew me away.
Shoal Bay was absolutely stunning—picture-perfect turquoise water and powder-soft sand. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. Then there was Little Bay, which felt like a secret tucked between cliffs. I took a boat over and got to experience some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever done—colorful fish, clear water, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature.
I also did a day trip to Sand Island, a tiny sandy stretch out in the water that felt like my own private island for the afternoon. It was surreal—just me, the sea breeze, and 360 degrees of Caribbean beauty.
One of the absolute highlights of the trip was night kayaking in a glass-bottom kayak on Little Bay. The water lit up underneath us with the glow of our kayak lights, and I got to watch sea turtles swimming gracefully beneath us. It was peaceful, mesmerizing, and hands down one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done on vacation.
Altamer Villas and the whole island of Anguilla gave me a trip I’ll never forget. Whether you’re looking to relax in luxury, enjoy private beach time, or get out and explore everything from snorkeling and kayaking to hidden beaches and island adventures, Petit Topaz and Anguilla have it all. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and already dreaming about coming back.
