ANGUILLA PROPERTY

The Anguilla Property Market

The British Overseas Territory of Anguilla is one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets, measuring just 35 square miles and home to 15,000 people. The island boasts 33 pristine white sand beaches with tempting crystal clear turquoise waters, a contemporary international style, extraordinary vistas, world class accommodation and mouth-watering cuisine.

The Anguilla property market is geared towards the luxury end of the market, dominated by high end property developments, including some of the Caribbean’s most opulent villas.

Whilst Anguilla offers property investors the opportunity of privacy and seclusion (to get to Anguilla requires an inter-island flight from Antigua, St Maarten, Puerto Rico or St Kitts), buyers also benefit from everything you would expect from a world class investment location.

Why Invest in Property in Anguilla?

Anguilla has so much to offer property buyers. Anguilla’s beaches and coves are unspoilt, uncrowded and recognised by many as some of the world’s best and the coral reefs are spectacular. The island offers property buyers and visitors alike the choice of quiet days basking in the sun or the peacefulness of a simple sunset stroll.

Besides the beaches, Anguilla has much to explore and experience: superb spas, galleries, historic sites, festivals, museums, horseback riding, tennis, sailing, golf and dining out. In its 35 square miles, the island boasts over 100 restaurants offering international and local cuisine with lobster and crayfish local favourites.

How to Buy Anguilla Property?

For foreign nationals, the property buying process is relatively straightforward. A foreign national will require an Alien Landholders License which costs $400 and will require an interview from a representative of the Chief Minister's office.

Foreign nationals may also purchase up to 0.5 acre of land, but are required to build a minimum of 2,000 sq ft of gross external floor area. Planning permission must be sought from the Anguilla Lands and Surveys Planning Board prior to obtaining an Alien Landholding License. Construction must then be completed within 18 months of the License being issued.
