La Vue Boutique Inn: Anguilla's Hilltop Perch Over Sandy Ground
Boutique comfort on South Hill's scenic backstreet, with front-row sunset views of Sandy Ground
Why Go
Most visitors to Anguilla splurge on beachfront resorts and miss the island's best vantage point. La Vue sits atop South Hill's prominent overlook on Backstreet, where every evening the sun drops behind Sandy Ground village and the salt pond glows gold ΓÇö a view the big resorts simply can't offer.
The Experience
La Vue is a smoke-free boutique inn of around 30 air-conditioned rooms, each with a separate sitting area, safe, coffee/tea maker, and a balcony or patio angled toward the water. The vibe is relaxed and personal ΓÇö friendly staff who remember your name, spacious and spotless rooms, and a pace that matches Anguilla's unhurried rhythm. On site you'll find an outdoor pool, a full-service spa, a bar-lounge, and Flavours Restaurant serving international fare at breakfast and dinner, plus practical extras like free WiFi, free self parking, room service, and concierge help with island logistics.
What to Try
Book a room with a Sandy Ground-facing balcony and build your evenings around it: a drink from the bar, the sunset over the bay, then dinner at Flavours downstairs. Carve out an afternoon for the spa followed by a pool session ΓÇö it's the boutique-scale alternative to resort crowds. And use the concierge to arrange a beach-hopping day; South Hill's central perch puts Sandy Ground, Meads Bay, and Shoal Bay all within an easy drive.
Insider Tip
The inn's hilltop position above Sandy Ground means you're a short downhill hop from Anguilla's liveliest beach-bar strip ΓÇö head down for live music nights in the village, then retreat uphill to quiet. Ask staff which nights the Sandy Ground bars have music; going mid-week means you'll share the scene with locals rather than cruise crowds.
The Practical Stuff
Located on Backstreet in South Hill Village, about 10 minutes' drive from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport and the Blowing Point ferry terminal. Free self parking makes a rental car easy (recommended ΓÇö Anguilla's beaches are spread out). Free WiFi throughout, conference and business facilities for working travelers, and dry cleaning/laundry service available. Flavours Restaurant covers breakfast and dinner on site; lunch is a good excuse to explore Sandy Ground below. Rates run well below Anguilla's luxury resorts, making it a strong value base for the island.
