Luxury Anguilla Resort
Your Caribbean Paradise Awaits at Belmond Cap Juluca
So you’re dreaming of that perfect Caribbean escape? We always tell our clients that if you’re going to do Anguilla, you do it right – and Cap Juluca is exactly how you do it right. It is the top Anguilla resort for a reason!
Picture this: you’re walking barefoot on what might just be the Caribbean’s most stunning stretch of platinum sand (we’re not exaggerating here), with turquoise waters so clear you can see your toes wiggling in the sand below; that’s Maundays Bay, and it’s your backyard for however long you decide to stay.
Where Luxury Meets Laid-Back Caribbean Charm
We always appreciate when a luxury resort gets the balance just right, and Cap Juluca absolutely nails it. This isn’t one of those stuffy, uptight places where you feel like you need to dress up for breakfast. Instead, it’s that perfect blend of barefoot elegance and impeccable service that makes the Caribbean so special.
The moment you arrive (just 20 minutes from the airport, who doesn’t love a short transfer), you’ll understand why this place has been enchanting guests for decades. With 68 rooms and 45 suites spread across pristine beachfront, you’re getting exclusivity without feeling isolated, sophistication without pretension.
* You can also fly into Sint Maarten and take a ferry or private transfer over quickly.
Accommodations That Feel Like Home (If Home Had Butler Service)
Here’s what we always tell our travelers: the rooms at Cap Juluca aren’t just places to sleep, they’re sanctuaries designed for the art of doing absolutely nothing, beautifully.
This Anguilla Resort really has earned the Forbes 2025 5-Star Rating and their place on the 2025 Readers’ Choice Award for Caribbean resorts by USA Today!
Ocean View Rooms start at a generous 677 square feet (that’s space to actually unpack and spread out), each with a private terrace where you can sip your morning coffee while watching the sun paint the sky in impossible shades of pink and orange. We particularly love how every room includes those little luxuries that make all the difference – plush king beds that you’ll never want to leave, and those comfortable terraces perfect for afternoon reading sessions.
For the Full Experience: The Private Pool Suites are where things get seriously indulgent. Imagine having your own slice of paradise with a private fresh-water pool (1,560 to 3,290 square feet of pure bliss), plus all the ocean views you could want. And yes, 24-hour butler service comes standard – because sometimes you deserve to be completely pampered.
Family-Friendly Luxury: Traveling with little ones? We always recommend the connecting rooms here. The kids will love the Explorer’s Club (ages 4-12) with its treasure hunts and beach games, while you enjoy some well-deserved adult time. The babysitting services are top-notch too – we’ve had countless families rave about the quality of care.
Beach Life, Perfected
Now, let’s talk about what makes Cap Juluca’s beach experience absolutely exceptional. We always say that any resort can put some chairs on sand, but Cap Juluca elevates beach lounging to an art form.
Each room comes with two elegant chaise loungers reserved exclusively for you on the beach, no early morning towel runs here! Those extra-large market umbrellas provide perfect shade (essential for us fair-skinned travelers), and the chaise-side service means you never have to leave your perfect spot for a refreshing drink or that afternoon sorbet that somehow tastes better when you’re horizontal on pristine sand.
The beach attendants here are genuinely attentive without being intrusive; they seem to anticipate your needs before you even realize you have them. Chilled towels appear just when you need them, bottled water is always within reach, and those four cabana bars along the beach ensure you’re never more than a few steps from your next tropical cocktail.
Dining That Transports You
We always get excited about resort dining when it goes beyond the typical buffet situation, and Cap Juluca’s culinary scene is absolutely worth getting excited about.
Cip’s by Cipriani brings that iconic Venetian flair to the Caribbean, and the combination is magical. Named after the legendary restaurant at Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice, this casual-chic spot serves comfort food that feels both familiar and exotic. The famous Cipriani carpaccio is every bit as good as you’d expect, and we love how they incorporate fresh local produce into classic Italian dishes. The menu features everything from tempting antipasti and fresh salads to perfectly executed pastas, all enjoyed in an open, al fresco setting where the sea breeze keeps you comfortable.
Uchu is where things get really interesting. By day, it’s a casual chic seafront spot focusing on local seafood; think ceviche, Anguillan crab cakes, and quinoa poke that actually tastes fresh and vibrant rather than trendy for the sake of it. Come evening, the space transforms into a sophisticated lounge with live DJ entertainment which is perfect for those nights when you want to feel fabulous without leaving the resort.
What we particularly appreciate is how the resort grows many ingredients right on property; tomatoes, asparagus, herbs, and more. There’s something satisfying about knowing your meal is literally farm-to-table, especially when that farm happens to be steps from your room.
Wellness Reimagined: Cap Juluca Spa by Guerlain
So, here’s where Cap Juluca really sets itself apart from other Caribbean resorts. The Cap Juluca Spa by Guerlain isn’t just another hotel spa; it’s a partnership between two masters of luxury that creates something truly special.
The seven private treatment rooms are named for the connection between Guerlain fragrances and local flora, with bleached white oak and limestone creating a bright, earthy atmosphere. We love how some rooms open directly to the beach; imagine getting a massage while listening to the waves just steps away.
The signature experience? The “Rhythm of the Caribbean Sea” treatment uses ocean tambour sounds and ice bubbles to recreate the calming rhythm of rolling waves while Guerlain’s hydrating treasures work their magic. It’s the kind of sensory experience that you’ll be talking about months later.
Beyond individual treatments, the resort’s Wellness Series brings in visiting yogis, nutritionists, and plant-based chefs for programs focused on mindfulness, nutrition, and longevity. They even offer seasonal activities like salt picking, celebrating Anguilla’s maritime heritage, because wellness here means connecting with the island’s natural rhythms, not just getting a good massage (though you’ll definitely get that too).
The Perfect Anguilla Resort for a Caribbean Escape
We always tell our travelers that the best vacations are the ones where you completely lose track of time, where days blend into evenings in the most delicious way possible. Cap Juluca creates exactly that kind of magical suspension of reality.
Whether you’re content to spend your days alternating between beach chair and infinity pool, want to explore the underwater world with complimentary snorkeling gear, or prefer to work up a sweat on the tennis court before retreating to the spa, this resort gives you permission to vacation exactly the way you want to.
The truth is, once you’ve experienced the particular magic of Cap Juluca, that perfect balance of luxury and authenticity, sophistication and barefoot ease. Other Caribbean resorts might just pale in comparison. And we think that’s exactly how a vacation should leave you feeling: completely spoiled for anywhere else.
Ready to experience Caribbean perfection? We’d love to help you plan your escape to Cap Juluca because some places are simply too extraordinary to navigate alone.
