Budget Guide to Anguilla

Anguilla is on first appearance a little prohibitively expensive but if you come off season, around the end of October when everything has opened but the crowds haven't arrived, and you spend more chillin rather than partaking in relatively expensive stuff like diving, then there's no reason not to enjoy this place.

Budget Accommodation on Anguilla

There's not much, but look hard enough and you'll find a couple of reasonable guest houses at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. Otherwise you'r kipping on the beach, which could be worse.

A Traveller's Budget for Anguilla

There are few inexpensive places which are obvious in Anguilla but there's often a barbeque going down, there are some seaside snack bars and there's a fresh fruit market in Valley. One of the reasons that the accommodation is a little more expensive than you might like is that it often provides cooking facilities so you can always self cater.

Helpfully there is no form of public transport on the island so you'll have to try and organise lifts which obviously carries some element of danger with it. Probably best to bring a bike. Or just go somewhere a bit cheaper. If there's a group of you then car rental is available, splitting the cost might make it affordable.

Activities for the Budget Traveller
