CeBlue Villas & Beach Resort

Perched atop one of Anguilla’s highest cliffs, overlooking Crocus Bay, CeBlue Villas combines the privacy of a villa with the amenities and facilities of a full-service hotel—offering families and groups of friends the best of both worlds.

• The delicious food, complimented by the sound of crashing waves at Da Vida’s beachfront restaurant
• The sweeping views of the Anguillan sunset from the villas’ expansive private terraces
• The proximity of Little Bay—a charming hidden cove—only accessible by water and a short swim from CeBlue’s beach

CeBlue Villas offers one of the most dramatic and stunning arrivals of any property on Anguilla. The island’s typical shrub-lined roads give way to electric blue water, stretching as far as the eye can see, and it immediately becomes clear why the villas were so fittingly given the name CeBlue.

Located on the island’s northern shore, the resort is composed of eight villas, all bordering a steep path leading down to Crocus Bay Beach. The villas can be configured into anything from three up to six bedrooms, making them a great option for larger groups and multi-generational families traveling together. While those set on beachfront accommodations might prefer resorts like Cap Juluca, for some, CeBlue's incredible vistas will make up for the lack of sand right outside the front door.

The rooms, while small, are comfortable and feature a modern décor with Asian-inspired details in calming hues of beige and brown. Each duplex unit also comes complete with its own private plunge pool, a fully equipped kitchen and an airy dining room. Additionally, the villas offer 5,000 square feet of outdoor terrace space with a grill, a seating area (perfect for sunset cocktails) and plenty of lounge chairs from which to soak up the balmy Anguillan sun.

What sets CeBlue apart from other villas on the island is the property’s fully staffed lobby area, which houses a concierge desk, alongside the Blue Bar pizza restaurant, a boutique, a small gym and a spa with two treatment rooms. The service is friendly and attentive, although fast-paced travelers should note that island time prevails at CeBlue (as it does on all of Anguilla, in fact).

Crocus Bay Beach is located a short, five-minute walk or two-minute golf cart ride down a steep hill from the villas. The beach is full-service and the on-site activity manager happily assists with water sport rentals, including paddle boards, kayaks, boogie boards, snorkel gear and sunfish sailboats. Brace yourself for the climb back up to CeBlue, though, as this trek can work up a sweat. Alternatively, the resort is happy to arrange a golf cart transfer back to the villa.

In addition, while Anguilla does not boast a high level of infrastructure and is not particularly walkable, the villas are but a 15-minute drive from the island’s best beaches and restaurants, which are certainly worth exploring. Indagare members can contact our Bookings Team for assistance with car rentals, or to arrange a car and driver.

Indagare Tip: Be sure to set aside a night for a private dinner. During my stay, our chef wheeled in six live lobsters and grilled them on the terrace for us. Not only was this an incredibly special, local experience, but it also was the best lobster I’ve ever tasted.

Larger groups and families seeking the seclusion and privacy of a villa but the facilities and staff of a full-service hotel. Those looking for beachfront options, or with mobility impairment might be happier at Cap Juluca or the Four Seasons.
