Plan your visit to the restaurant JULIANS-A Tropical French Bistro

“My favorite experience is on Sandy Island, a little island of the Cay of Anguilla. They serve different local dishes but my favorite is the ribs, which is finished with a very nice sauce. On my day off, I take a small boat over to the Cay which takes about 30 minutes just to get the ribs.”

Dining on Sandy Island

“If you are visiting the island, you should take an island tour with a chef and visit one of the fishing villages. You can go directly to the docks and watch the boats come in with their fresh catches, make your selection, and have it cleaned while you chat with the fisherman. Vegetable farming is on the up-and-up, so visiting a vegetable stand and touring the nearby gardens is also interesting.”

Overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the Quintessence Hotel lives up to its name. Located on the tropical island of Anguilla–known as one of the pearls of the Lesser Antilles–this intimate haven of peace has been tastefully decorated with Caribbean art, giving guests a homely feel while in paradise. Woodwork and furniture made from local timbers lend each of the suites and villas an authentic and warm character. All guest rooms benefit from private access to the hotel's lush gardens, as well as the incomparable Long Bay, considered the most photogenic of the island's 33 beaches. For travelers seeking a tranquil disconnection from their regular life, choosing whether to cool off in the infinity pool or the turquoise sea may be the only dilemma they’ll face. The chef of the Quintessence Hotel rounds out this unforgettable experience with Franco-Caribbean cuisine created using local ingredients from artisan producers.

“Anywhere you go on the island, the swimming and snorkeling will simply blow you away. Crystal clear turquoise water invites you to jump in and explore the reefs, the colorful fish and marine life. You will not believe what you come across. And at night, everything in the water lights up and glows.”

Swimming and Snorkeling

“The beaches of Anguilla are second to none.  I love going to Shoal Bay East and sitting at Madeariman Reef Restaurant with my feet in the sand, listening to the local string band, sipping on a glass of Chardonnay, and watching the shades of turquoise in the ocean beyond.”

Beach Idyll

“My wife, Keenie and I discovered Anguilla 35 years ago and found an island of uncommon beauty. Each white sand beach was more magnificent than the one before. Anguilla is where sophisticated travelers come to swim in the sea, walk the beach, eat in fabulous restaurants and most importantly, relax. We are an English territory, so the entire experience is with a British sense of order and tranquility.”
