Viceroy Anguilla Set to Open December 15, 2009

Acclaimed designer Kelly Wearstler's inimitable style and talent for sumptuousness will be present as the much-anticipated resort debuts this Autumn.

Situated on 35 lush acres, with 3,200 feet of beachfront land along Barnes and Meads Bays, Viceroy Anguilla's offering features 166 contemporary beachfront and blufftop villas, sophisticated townhouses and opulent resort residences. Anguilla has an unmistakable sense of place where guests will revel in utter privacy yet enjoy unlimited access to the resort's myriad pleasures.

Kelly Wearstler's timeless and sophisticated interiors offer a serene setting at Viceroy Anguilla. Organic elements, such as driftwood lamps, petrified-wood tables and travertine marble floors, coupled with textiles and techniques from all over the world, including hand-carved wood pieces from Asia, hammered metalwork from India and beaded artwork from Africa offer a striking visual contrast to the geometric lines of the architecture and grant a distinct singularity to the resort.

Guests can look forward to an eclectic array of dining experiences at Viceroy Anguilla. The resort's signature restaurant Cobà will focus on local bounty of the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean accentuated by Pan-Asian flavors. The restaurant has 180 seats, with exquisite views of Barnes Bay and Meads Bay and seating both indoors and out. The chic Sunset Lounge will be the setting for cocktails, aged rum and Cuban cigars, all best imbibed with tapas and other fare to Reggae and Calypso rhythms around an infinity pool. Carved out of the cliff side on Barnes Bay, Half Shell will be a hip and intimate enclave serving colorful frozen cocktails and cold beer on tap. An array of fresh fare will help guests keep cool, including Bento boxes of sandwiches, ceviches and fresh sushi available for on-the-go beach food.

Poised at the water's edge, the 8,000-square-foot spa offers curated collections of wellness rituals that cultivate body and soul alignment, including massages, body polishes, wraps, facials, mani-pedicures and a diverse array of specialised excursions, classes and experiences. The fitness centre will feature a handsome complement of sophisticated Technogym and Star Trac bikes.

The Aquatic Centre offers a wide range of non-motorised water sports - including sailing, windsurfing and snorkelling. "Generation V" kids club is inspired by the concept of "families that play together, stay together” and offers meaningful family experiences that respect the environment.

Known far and wide as "tranquility wrapped in blue," the island of Anguilla is a splendid destination for the international debut of the Viceroy brand. Set in the British West Indies and surrounded by the Eastern Caribbean, the island is revered for its pristine white sand beaches – 33 all together – and crystal clear turquoise waters.

Rates at Viceroy Anguilla in December start at $695 for an Ocean View Studio.
