Find the Best Deals for Cheap Flights to Anguilla

Romanian citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days in Anguilla, requiring only a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry and a return or onward flight ticket. Make sure you also have proof of sufficient funds for maintenance during your stay. Although not mandatory, travel medical insurance is recommended, given the high costs of medical services in the Caribbean.

Anguilla is a small island, and public transport is limited. The best way to explore is by renting a car. Note that driving is on the left side, similar to the UK, and Romanian driving licenses require a temporary local permit, which can be obtained at rental offices. Alternatively, taxis are available but can be costly for long distances. Bicycles and scooters are good options for short distances, especially around the main beaches.

Accommodation in Anguilla ranges from luxury villas and five-star resorts to more affordable guesthouses and apartments. Popular areas include Meads Bay and Shoal Bay East for spectacular beaches. For a quieter, more local atmosphere, consider areas around Sandy Ground. Early bookings are essential, especially during peak season (December-April). Prices are generally higher than in Romania, so budget accordingly for your desired comfort.

Anguilla is considered a very safe destination, with a low crime rate. However, be vigilant with personal belongings on beaches and do not leave valuables in cars. Locals are friendly and relaxed. An important cultural aspect is respect: greet people with a 'Good morning' or 'Good day'. Also, although the atmosphere is casual, it is good to cover up when leaving the beach and entering restaurants or shops, showing respect for the community.

Anguilla's cuisine is based on fresh seafood. Don't miss grilled lobster, steamed fish, and conch soup. Dishes are often seasoned with local hot peppers and served with rice and peas. Try the local beach restaurants, called 'beach shacks', for the most authentic and fresh dishes. Food prices can be similar or even higher than in Bucharest, depending on the type of establishment chosen. Enjoy a local rum punch, but in moderation.

Anguilla is famous for its 33 white sand beaches. Plan to visit at least Shoal Bay East, Rendezvous Bay, and Maundays Bay. Take a short ferry to uninhabited islands, such as Sandy Island or Prickly Pear Cays, for snorkeling and total relaxation. Dedicate time to explore the small villages and witness a traditional boat race, a national sport. A 7-10 day itinerary allows you to relax and explore the island without rushing.

To enjoy Anguilla like a local, don't just stay in resorts. Rent a car and go to a lesser-known 'beach shack', such as on Island Harbour beach, for fresh fish. For the best photo, visit the sunset on Barnes Bay beach, where the colors of the sky are spectacularly reflected in the calm waters. Don't forget to wear water shoes if exploring the reefs. Relax and let the island rhythm embrace you; this is the secret to a successful Caribbean vacation.
