Malliouhana is one of those destinations beloved by those who truly believe in love. Considered by tourists and locals alike as one of the finest accommodations in Anguilla, couples come here to celebrate their union in true, romantic fashion, yet, still enjoying intimacy away from prying eyes. Part of the Auberge Resort Collection portfolio of luxury boutique properties, this 44-room boutique resort was designed to offer privacy, so that you and your loved one can focus on much needed quality time.
Sitting atop a panoramic bluff overlooking the Caribbean and reaching down to Meads Bay and Turtle Cove beach, Malliouhana is often touted as providing the perfect picturecard setting. Indeed, waking up everyday to the sight of a beautiful expanse of blue sea makes you feel you’re in a different place entirely.

A love like no other
“Malliouhana” is the original Arawak name for Anguilla. When it was first established in 1984, the proprietors took special care in choosing a name that would talk about its elegance and sophistication. Very quickly, Malliouhana became the setting for well-traveled couples looking for a sweet escape.
It may seem a little bit strange that a traditionally California-type chain of hotels could thrive in such a tropical setting, but the difference in perspective really paid off. The architecture is laidback enough—with lemon yellow and ice blue interiors setting the mood—but luxurious to satisfy any traveler’s dream. When Malliouhana reopened in 2014, the Auberge Resort simply screamed of relaxed sophistication both in their design and restaurant menu. Malliouhana is a luxury boutique resort that offers discreet service.

Yet there can never be enough words to really describe why Malliouhana is so captivating. A lot of articles can be written about its grace and seaside charm, but what I think truly separates it from the rest is how wonderful it is to be in love here. It is not only the architecture that is breathtaking—and I’ve taken deep breaths—but it is the vibe and culture that make it incredibly delightful for those claiming (or perhaps even reclaiming) their love.
The staff is extremely attentive. The goal, of course, is that the only person you should be thinking of is your significant other. Forget your own wants! Malliouhana’s customer service is superb.
This is one of Anguilla’s top resorts. Couples who wrinkle their nose at the hype would do well to note that each description I’ve made comes from personal experience. It was almost surreal, from the pleasant staff to the warm embrace of the sun to the stunning beachfront view.
So, as you take your lover’s hand while looking at the sunset at this property, I can only imagine how happy and content you’d be. I hope that I have encouraged you enough to take a look at Malliouhana’s amenities and want to rekindle love’s flame.
