A couples escape to Anguilla

Couples who are repeat visitors to St Maarten may have their favorites, but it’s also good to know the islands around St Maarten always seem to have something new to offer in the way of romantic resort accommodations perfect for a weekend escape.

The Blue Diamond villa at Altamer resort in Anguilla’s West End has been completed. The 13,000 square foot ocean front villa was designed by Linda Warren of Linda Warren Associates, the designer behind the resort’s Antilles Pearl villa, as well as the first phase of Cap Juluca and the Cerulean Villa. This follows the completion of the Antilles Pearl villa in which the spaces were rearranged to create an airy atmosphere and fresh elements containing different textures and pops of color. An entertainment and media room was created on the 2nd level.

Additionally, the Blue Diamond’s outdoor pool and patio spaces were reconfigured to include a covered area with an overhang, dining table and indoor/ outdoor furniture for guests to keep out of the sun or host sunset dinners.

The villa’s upgrade is one of a series of renovations and a planned expansion of Altamer, which will be also adding a mega yacht marina.
