Belmond Cap Juluca

For my wife's 50th birthday, we decided to celebrate it at Cap Juluca. We have visited several Caribbean islands in the past, but had never been to Anguilla, which was on her Bucket List. I picked Cap Juluca based on the online reviews I had read. What a brilliant idea that was! We arrived 2 days before her birthday and stayed 8 nights total. Everywhere we went on the property before and even days after her big day, the staff celebrated and wished her well. On the evening of her day, the staff helped me pull off a perfect surprise "Dinner Under the Stars". It was magical. Now to the resort itself - it is a wonderful place with a very pleasing aesthetic and immensely relaxing vibe. The rooms are spacious, well-lit, and clean. The staff is very caring and attentive. The resort sits at Maundays Bay on the southwest part of the island, and the beach there is absolutely breathtaking. The white buildings on that white, sandy beach contrast beautifully against the stunning turquoise water of the bay. The food at all four restaurants on the resort is exquisite. The view of the bay during the complimentary breakfast is a reason to have breakfast every morning. And I’ll make time to join the staff and other guests for “Savoring” every day at 6 pm. Please visit if you can. You won’t regret it.

We recently returned from a stay at Cap Juluca and had a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the beach is truly exceptional, and the service from the staff was consistently warm and welcoming. We always felt safe and well taken care of, and the complimentary water activities like paddleboarding were a great touch that made it easy to enjoy the beach without additional fees. Our room itself was spacious, comfortable, and in a stunning location with gorgeous views. The setting of the resort is truly special and it’s easy to understand why so many people return. The only issue we encountered is related to sound insulation between rooms. Our room had adjoining doors on both sides (which we understand may allow the resort to combine rooms into larger villas). Unfortunately, the doors allowed a surprising amount of sound to pass through. We could clearly hear conversations, alarms, coughing, and other normal room noise from neighboring guests. Overall we had a lovely visit and would absolutely consider returning. The beach, the setting, and the kindness of the staff made it a memorable trip. Addressing the sound insulation between adjoining rooms would elevate the experience even further and better match the otherwise exceptional standard of the resort.

We love Cap Juluca and have been back many times. The rooms are due for an update. Pimm’s is our least favorite restaurant on the island :(

There are beautiful resorts in the Caribbean—and then there is Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, where service and serenity meet in a setting that feels almost dreamlike. From the moment I arrived, the experience felt effortless. At reception I was welcomed with a cool towel before being escorted to a breezy outdoor patio for a refreshing welcome drink. There I met Ngozi, my dedicated villa host, who would thoughtfully curate each day of my stay. While my luggage and rental car were discreetly sent ahead to my room, Ngozi whisked me away in a golf cart to introduce me to the resort and its stunning surroundings. My home for the week was a beautifully appointed king suite with an oversized balcony overlooking the luminous turquoise sea. The room reflected classic Caribbean elegance—light-filled, refined, and inviting—with luxurious Frette robes, Anguillan-style slippers, and thoughtful touches throughout. Waiting on the desk was a small basket of the most delicious cheese puffs I’ve ever tasted. Each evening, turndown service brought a new surprise tucked inside, a small but delightful ritual I quickly came to anticipate. Ngozi’s attentiveness set the tone for the entire stay. He checked in regularly to confirm dinner reservations, arrange spa appointments, answer questions, and coordinate excursions—always present, yet never intrusive. Life at the beach was equally seamless. Each guest is assigned a chaise lounge for the duration of their stay, eliminating the all-too-common scramble to reserve the best spot in the sand. Every time I arrived, my lounger was already prepared with fresh towels and positioned perfectly for a day of relaxation. Beach service, overseen by Joann, was impeccable. Throughout the day, attentive staff circulated with thoughtful offerings—iced tea, sunscreen, frozen sorbets, spiced nuts, and even Painkiller shooters. One attendant in particular, Eulalie, embodied the warmth and generosity that defines Anguillian hospitality. Tireless, gracious, and genuinely attentive, she made every guest feel welcome and cared for. Dining across the property was exceptional, with menus that thoughtfully accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan preferences. I dined at three of the resort’s four restaurants, but the standout meal of the trip was at Uchu. This Peruvian-inspired gem delivers vibrant, beautifully balanced dishes that were among the most memorable of the entire vacation. The recently opened spa is another highlight—an elegant sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and renewal. My massage experience included additional facial treatments and luxurious skincare products at no extra charge, elevating the experience into something truly indulgent. All of this unfolds along one of the most breathtaking beaches in the Caribbean—powdery white sand meeting impossibly clear turquoise water. By the end of the week, the hardest part was leaving. Cap Juluca offers not just a vacation, but a rare sense of tranquility and care that lingers long after departure. I cannot recommend this extraordinary resort—and its exceptional staff—more highly. I feel fortunate to have experienced it and look forward to returning.

Serenely beautiful property. Gorgeous pristine wide white sand beach, great rooms, great food, seriously inventive bar talents. Lots of walking to and from, to stay fit, just getting to meals and gym… or using hotel bikes (freely available to ail). The huge breakfast buffet is amazing, such variety! All the food quality was so good, no reason to explore the rest of the island. We had more windy weather than would have been ideal, but no matter. The Shack, a seemingly authentic rustic island hideaway joint (w some legendary festive drinks i can’t quite recall), was a casual bar /lunch place at the far end of the beach. It was the perfect contrast to the full service restaurants. The 6 pm “Sabrage” where guests slice off the glass top off a champagne bottle w a sword was fun, and the complimentary champs quickly made fellow guests into friends. All the staff were well trained, not grumpy nor too friendly, and incredibly anticipatory for our needs. A discreet button you can push brings full service to your beach chaise! The impactful flavors of the Peruvian restaurant were a real surprise, we went there twice in 6 nights.
