Villa Petite Plage 5

At the far, quiet end of Grand Case, down a small private road, Villa Petite Plage 5 is an oasis of contemporary calm right at the ocean's edge. A columned portico opens to a landscaped courtyard wrapped in cloister walkways, with pools framing a stunning view of the sapphire sea, stately palms and Anguilla on the horizon — and Petite Plage beach just down a short staircase.

Inside, travertine floors flow from air-conditioned rooms to open terraces, with sleek furnishings, a chef's kitchen facing the sea, and two media systems including a dedicated media room and private office. The showpiece is a large horseshoe-shaped heated pool at the water's edge, a covered loggia at its centre and a hot tub nearby.

Six bedroom suites — five with sea views, the master crowning a marble staircase with a private terrace, the sixth in a courtyard casita — sleep twelve. With an on-site manager and easy access to the Grand Case Beach Club, it's beachfront living at its most polished.
