Panarea Villa is set in the west end of Anguilla between Cap Juluca and Altamer, just minutes from the white sand beaches that the island is known for. This vacation rental is great for couples and young families, and four-wheel drive is recommended.

The pool enjoys hours of sun, and the dining veranda enjoys all-day shade. The lap pool sits between lush gardens and the lounging terrace. There’s beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and a cooler for trips to Maundays Bay, Barnes Bay, or Shoal Bay West. A fully air-conditioned gym is just off the pool deck, with fitness equipment, yoga mats and blocks, free weights, a sound system, a steam room, a home theater system, a juice bar, a fridge, and a separate bathroom.

This three-bedroom home combines Caribbean architecture with Italian decor, like Sicilian tiles in the kitchen and Roman tiles and mirrors in the bath. The living areas at Panarea are cooled by the ceiling fans and open to the view. There’s also a cable TV, a small office, and a library in the common area. The galley kitchen is furnished with high-end appliances and its windows open to the garden. All three air-conditioned bedrooms, Amantea, Muscio and Zaffiro, are comparable in size and offer a private terrace and sea views. Amanita is the Master Suite with a king bed, an ensuite bathroom, and access to the pool deck. The second bedroom, Musico, is also located on the main floor and offers two twin beds, an ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a private terrace. The twin beds can be made up as a king, if needed. At the top of the stairs is Zaffiro, the third bedroom, and it has a king bed with two extra long twin mattresses, an ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a private balcony.

Maunday’s Bay beach is 10 minutes away, and Barnes Bay is in the opposite direction. Both beaches have several restaurants and long stretches of white sand. The villa is maintained by a manager, housekeeper, pool caretaker, and two gardeners.
