Anguilla is home to many stunning properties, but Quintessence Hotel stands apart for its quiet elegance and deeply personalized experience. Located on Long Bay, one of the island’s most peaceful and unspoiled beaches, this 12-suite boutique hotel reimagines Caribbean luxury through an artful, residential lens.
Designed to feel like a private tropical estate, Quintessence merges European villa charm with Caribbean soul. Communal lounges, reading nooks, and understated decor create an atmosphere that feels more like a refined home than a resort. Each suite is individually styled, offering guests a unique experience—from ocean-facing terraces to private media rooms and lounges.
Dining is equally thoughtful. Coral Beach Bar, the hotel’s casual oceanfront restaurant, emphasizes fresh, local ingredients with global accents. Guests can enjoy dishes like Thai noodle salad and the island’s catch of the day, alongside cocktails and sweeping views of Long Bay. For a more formal experience, Julian’s Restaurant offers Caribbean-inspired fine dining and access to the hotel’s curated wine cellar.
The hotel’s character is especially shaped by its interiors. Owner Geoffrey Fieger, an avid art collector, has filled the space with rare Haitian paintings, whimsical sculptures, and first-edition books. From leather club chairs to hand-painted Caribbean cabinets, every corner invites discovery. No two suites are alike—each one reflects its own mood, color palette, and visual story.
Beyond the design, Quintessence offers elevated but relaxed amenities, including a tranquil pool area, small fitness center, and concierge services that include Moke rentals for exploring the island in style.
Quintessence Hotel is a destination for travelers who seek depth over size, and character over flash. It’s ideal for those who appreciate art, value privacy, and prefer their beach experiences quiet and uncluttered.
