An Alluring Stay In Anguilla: Villa Tasha
Follow me on Instagram and check out my Anguilla highlights here.
What’s better than relaxing on a Caribbean sea beach? A panoramic view of the crystal blue waters daily from a luxurious villa WITH access to your semi-private beach steps away, that’s what! What I love about renting villa’s is the exclusivity and privacy that it gives. Your̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶r̶o̶v̶e̶r̶t̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶a̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ don’t have to cross paths with the lady with the oversized beach hat, dark sunglasses and oversized suitcases centimeters too close to your toes checking in while you’re trying to head out. You are alotted the freedom of just being to yourself. When Monti and I finalized Sint Maarten as our trip destination, I immediately knew we were going to head over to Anguilla. I knew I would relax in Anguilla after t̶u̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶u̶p̶ having a good time with locals at Taboo in Sint Maarten so the eloquent Villa Tasha was the perfect place to balance it all out. I had a pleasure staying at this pleasure.
LOCATION
Why NOT visit Anguilla? It’s only a 20 minute ferry ride. It’s also home to some of the most beautiful beaches, like the well known white sandy Shoal Bay beach, one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve been to might I add. The most popular way of getting to Anguilla is to fly into SXM airport in Sint Maarten and take the public ferry from Marigot for $25 (one way-including departure tax). The ride is so short, so before I even got the chance to day dream about one of the world’s most beautiful beaches I had already hit the dock. I quickly headed straight to rent a car that was only $35/day located right at the port then headed straight to our home for the next couple of days. Anguilla is a small island that getting around is simple.
We stopped by closest grocery store called J.W. Proctors that about 15 minutes from Villa Tasha. Here you can get y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶̶̶v̶̶̶i̶̶̶l̶̶̶l̶̶̶a̶̶̶ ̶̶̶s̶̶̶u̶̶̶r̶̶̶v̶̶̶i̶̶̶v̶̶̶a̶̶̶l̶̶̶ ̶̶̶k̶̶̶i̶̶̶t̶̶̶ all the things you needs to make your stay the best. We purchased the necessities such as food, wine, snacks, ya know, the typical things you would need to relax at just vacay. After a short 6 mile easy ride (thank you Google maps!) from the ferry dock, at last our little white rented Kia up to the spectacular designed white house.
CHECK-IN
I stepped out wearing a typical vacation sombrero, sunglasses (I’m the lady I was describing above 😁) and greeted the cheerful property owner Jeet who was expecting us around this time. He helped us bring in our featherweight bags hehe and gave us a tour of the property, MTV Cribs style. Making our check in process completely smooth and hassle free. There was never a moment where we couldn’t get in contact with concierge. As soon as the doors opened I immediately fell in love with this oceanfront property. This place was remarkably serene and sophisticated. What stood out as soon as I opened the door was the entrance atrium, the ceiling, OMG the ceiling was tediously hand painted to perfection. Don’t you agree?

The Villa
The villa is 3 levels with a total of 3 bedrooms and four bathrooms (one in each bedroom and one on the main floor) enough space for 6-8 people. Though we only utilized the two main rooms, the third bedroom actually has its own e̶x̶c̶l̶u̶s̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶f̶a̶n̶c̶y̶ private entrance outside on the lower level. A suitable studio for 4 persons or a family traveling with children. There is a king and a queen size bed.

Up the marble stairs is where you can find two rooms. They were airy and impressively spacious with the most comfortable king size beds. Both rooms were equipped with large closet space for those who don’t like to scramble though their suitcase and unpack while on vacation. As well as private balconies complete with sun chairs with an everlasting view of the sparkling Caribbean sea. The rooms were equipped with air conditioners and special fans designed to keep cool air circulating and hitting every pore on your body. The master bedroom included a shower and bath tub. I’m a sucker for bathtubs, I feel like it’s perfect for unwinding. You can truly relax and ignore a few emails while sipping on your favorite drink. The second bedroom had a lush glass shower with gorgeous tiles. The second floor also provided a study area between the two rooms just incase you second guess those emails that you ignore and feel more comfortable answer them at a desk like I do thanks to Wi-Fi access throughout the entire property.

On the first floor is where you can find access to the pool, kitchen and living room. Even on vacation you can still Netflix & Chill and catch up on your favorite shows.

The kitchen was a large open space complete with all of the essentials, from champagne flutes to a coffee maker. Are you starting your morning with a mimosa or some dark roast? I chose to have mimosa’s and a traditional American savory carnivorous breakfast. We decided to take our breakfast from the kitchen to pool side. Sipping our mimosa’s with natural lighting was warranted. There is also a grill if you’re a BBQ connoisseur and want to show off those wrist flicking skills.

The villa comes with a complimentary chef, you would just have to provide the groceries and a 15% service charge The chef will provide one meal a day and you can choose between lunch or dinner. We opted for a delicious pool side lunch of lobster salad. With a stunning view, we couldn’t resist. Especially while blasting our favorite tunes from the Sonos speakers.
The pool was astonishing! Whether sunbathing on the or taking a dip it definitely removed me from my big city of New York. This was one of my best experiences, being able to physically and mentally be on vacation. Would you take a plunge?

My stay at Villa Tasha was incredible! The staff was amazing and quickly responded to any needs. The aura and tranquility makes you never want to step foot off this property. My stay was well worth it that I highly recommend you to visit Anguilla and stay here. I’ve made it easy to book with this link here. I was welcomed as a guest at Villa Tasha, but all opinions and photography are my own. I would be delighted to stay here a second time.
