Anguilla is for the lovers of the simple life, as it is not viewed to be as glamorous as some of the other islands. There are no natural deepwater harbors to accommodate luxury liners, no European colonization relics, and no casinos. However, the Viceroy Anguilla is a 35-acre oasis of tropical tranquility set in a most luxurious environment replete with a beach club, tennis courts, gourmet and casual eateries, a full spa, concierge service, and so much more. There are villas, townhouses, and resort residences available. This is simple made splendid in the splendor of sedate yet rich Anguilla.
