Malliouhana, an Auberge Resort

I had my eyes set on Malliouhana after it was the site of a photo shoot for a fashion blog I follow on Instagram...my expectations couldn't have been higher and it did not disappoint. Every corner of the hotel is manicured and beautiful. When we arrived we were given a personal tour of the property and escorted to our room where there was a fresh fruit and cheese plate waiting. We were able to get a spot at the pool every day (even got a cabana every day which did not cost extra), and we were always able to get a seat at the bar and at the restaurant. We visited in May which is after the "high" season so perhaps that's why it wasn't overly crowded but nonetheless, I would recommend this gorgeous property to anyone and we will definitely be back. The challenge will be for this place to maintain its superior property and level of service for years to come!

While my wife and I have stayed at other resorts in Anguilla over the past eight years, and have eaten dinner there last year, this was our first overnight stay at Malliouhana. We booked a 10 day visit in mid-August and stayed in an Ocean View Junior Suite. Overall we had a great time as there were not many guests during this period, probably because the resort was scheduled to close on Sunday August 27th for two months. Upon check-in, we were greeted by the general manager, John, together with a nice refreshing cool drink. Our room was very spacious, although on the downside, there was no door separating the toilet from the rest of bathroom. The TV installed in the large mirror, while unique, the glare in the room on the screen prevented us from seeing a clear picture. All of the staff were very warm, friendly and accommodating. Because of my wife's food allergies, Chefs Marc and Jeramy made sure that my wife's special food requirements were met for each of her meals, which were all delicious. John, the general manager, was there to great us for breakfast almost every morning or evening. He even went as far as to make us a small box to view the eclipse. (Thanks John, for making us feel special).

For the second year in a row, the Malliouhana has provided a perfect vacation for my husband and I. The hotel offers all of the amenities of a resort, but feels more boutiquey (and therefore special). Service is very warm and friendly. The location on multiple beaches is perfect. And the gorgeous double infinity pools and cabanas are to die for! The rooms are very spacious and all (I think) have at least an ocean view. I absolutely adore the Malliouhana!

My husband and I just returned from a three-day getaway (without our children) at the Malliouhana. We have been to Anguilla before but new to Malliouhana. We were absolutely floored. First of all, John V. who manages the property is a really friendly and low-key guy - but he is super engaged. He is "on it" and the place is incredible bc of his level of attention to detail. First of all, the facilities were immaculate. The room, the common spaces, everything. Sheer Perfection. Second, the views! Unbelievable! From our room to the poolside and restaurants (everywhere really): The views were the best we've ever seen (and we've stayed everywhere from Parrot Cay to various Amans). The property is small so you don't dread going to the beach or the spa or the restaurant. It really felt like we were staying in John's beautiful home. Warm and gorgeous.

I had very high expectations after months of Instagram stalking this incredible resort and boy was I not disappointed. If you're considering a stay just book it! Everything was incredible from the stunning and chic rooms to the wow factor double infinity pools then there's the picture postcard beaches. The staff were all lovely and made me feel at home the moment I stepped foot inside this slice of heaven. I felt like I was staying at a very very rich friend's beach house...so boutique with so much attention to detail...so perfect! Oh and I think possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on (and I'm the toughest bed critic). The food was incredible from lobster avocado omelette for breakfast to lobster BLT by the pool for lunch (yes there's a lobster theme to my trip). I just wish I had more time here! I had an ocean view room in the main house which was perfection with views over Meads Bay. I travelled solo and met lovely & interesting people at both the pool and the sunset bar. I will be returning and will do a minimum 5 nights for my next trip...I cannot wait. Word of warning...don't book the 8am flight from St Martin to Miami (unless you have no choice) it means you're departing the hotel at 5:30am for a 6am boat!
