Long Pond Bay | Luxury Villa Rentals in Anguilla

Long Pond Bay is a tranquil coastal destination on Anguilla. Known for its serene beaches and clear blue waters, it offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to unwind. Visitors can enjoy leisurely days by the sea, explore local culture, or simply relax and enjoy the views. With its laid-back atmosphere, Long Pond Bay is ideal for a relaxing holiday.

On Anguilla’s southeastern coast, roughly two miles east of The Valley, Long Pond Bay takes its name from the Long Salt Pond that runs directly behind it — a 23-hectare brackish lagoon separated from the sea by little more than a line of sand dunes. The pond is a legacy of Anguilla’s salt-raking economy, which sustained the island for more than two centuries before tourism; low rock walls built for historic salt harvesting are still visible along its edges, and the pond remains an important stop for migratory shorebirds, making the area one of the better spots on the island for casual birdwatching. The beach itself is undeveloped and quiet, well off the main tourist circuit that runs along Anguilla’s north and west coasts, with none of the resort infrastructure found at Shoal Bay or Meads Bay. That remoteness is the appeal: villas here sit on a genuinely open stretch of coastline, with wide views over both the ocean and the pond’s flat, pale landscape, and a sense of space that’s increasingly rare on the more built-up parts of the island. Long Pond Bay’s eastern position also puts it within reasonable driving distance of Island Harbour and Scilly Cay, as well as The Valley’s shops and services, without sitting in the middle of either. It’s a fitting base for travelers drawn to Anguilla’s quieter, more ecologically distinct side — salt ponds, native shorebirds, undeveloped dunes — rather than the beach-club atmosphere that defines the island’s more famous northwest coast, and for those who simply want a villa with a private beach and minimal traffic nearby.

Long Pond Bay is perfect for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle, offering a peaceful coastal setting with opportunities for relaxation and exploration.
