Each of the 230 guestrooms and suites are spacious and airy with large balconies extending picture perfect ocean vistas. Families can opt for one of the suites, which include a second bedroom, expansive living area, kitchenette, and veranda-style balcony, while all guests can indulge in long walks on the powder-fine sand, pampering at the spa, or cocktails by the outdoor pool.

An idyllic sanctuary nestled on six oceanfront acres, Zemi Beach House Resort & Spa blends modern comforts with experiences anchored in the Anguillan tradition. The 63-room property is the island’s only resort located on the acclaimed pristine sands of Shoal Bay Beach.
