East of Puerto Rico and just north of Saint Martin, Anguilla is an unlikely Caribbean destination. The island had long been ignored by most travelers, keeping this island and it's amazing beaches a secret from all but the most discerning traveler. In recent years, however, word of the miles upon miles of white, sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs and turquoise blue water has gotten out and travelers are seeking out this destination for their honeymoon vacations and for romance and spa packages. There's something for everyone here, from honeymooners to families.

There are quite a few hotels that are perfect for those looking for romance and relaxation on the island. One such hotel, the Fangipani Resort, has recently been renovated and all of its 19 rooms have been updated. The rooms at this resort range from the "Luxury Room", which is one room plus adjoining bath, to one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. No matter the size of the room, each is luxuriously appointed and guests are provided with plush robes, high quality linens, and soothing bath products. For those seeking spa packages, the Fangipani offers some of their spa services beachside.

The Malliouhana Hotel and Spa offers a variety of packages at their elegant resort perched atop the cliffs overlooking the Caribbean. While this resort is family friend, those looking for special honeymoon vacations will still find everything they need here. The resort is just a short walk to the beach and the location of the main buildings allow for romantic walks along the tiled walkways to view the fountains and lush gardens throughout the property. The 15,000 food spa offers many types of spa packages, with over 65 treatments offered. The Malliouhana has been a mainstay in Anguilla since the early '80s and has recently undergone renovations.
