A Mediterranean staircase leads to the tastefully decorated rooms and one-bedroom suite at this charming beachfront hotel just steps from some of the Caribbean's best restaurants. There's no pool, but the beach is right at your door, and a shuttle can whisk you to the pool, yoga pavilion, and spa at the Hotel L'Esplanade sister property. Baskets are provided at the self-serve breakfast buffet so you can take your croissants, coffee, and freshly squeezed juice back to your private ocean-view terrace.

Guests return year after year to the classy, loft-style suites of this immaculate family-owned and -operated boutique hotel on a hill overlooking Grand Case village and harbor.

Kitchens are sleek and stocked with basics before you arrive, and bathrooms have chic waterfall shower heads and double vessel sinks. The nicely designed spa is in a lovely pavilion, which is the site of free morning yoga classes. The heated pool and its swim-up bar are in a picturesque garden that's the place to be for cocktails.

Be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean in one of the spacious units of this tidy complex set on a sliver of Grand Case Beach. Studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments (the biggest accommodates six people) all have great views—with big sliding-glass doors to showcase them—and are beautifully furnished with blue or green accents. Apartments are accessible to those in wheelchairs by elevator, and there is both outdoor and indoor parking. You can request a crib or high chair, but availability is limited.

Not only does this resort have a stellar location—on a small peninsula, with access to Grand Case Beach on one side and Petite Plage on the other and views of Anguilla and Creole Rock in the distance—it also has many amenities, including free Wi-Fi, a fitness facility, a pool, and a small spa. Each of the spacious, well-appointed studio and one- or two-bedroom units has a balcony. Room service is available from the on-site Sunset Café.

Some of the rooms at this intimate, boho-chic hotel on Grand Case’s sandy beach have sea views and others overlook the lively village boulevard. Each has an airy decor and a private terrace or patio. Relax by the Caribbean Sea or book a snorkeling, diving, or boat excursion to nearby coves.
