Covecastles

Frommer's Review

Nothing else on Anguilla looks like architect Myron Goldfinger's Covecastles: This cluster of post-modernist buildings has sleek white exteriors interrupted by smooth curves, jagged triangles, and cylinders -- Architectural Digest has featured the resort not once but twice. Rumor has it that Bill, Hill, and Chelsea have stayed here. The resort sits on a spectacular stretch of beach on Shoal Bay West, and each unit has sea views; many have private pools. The large bedrooms have twin or king-size beds with hand-embroidered linens and equally sizable, stylish bathrooms. Interiors have cathedral ceilings; louvered doors and enormous picture windows crafted from Brazilian walnut; terra-cotta tiles; comfortably oversize rattan and wicker furniture; a fully equipped, state-of-the-art kitchen; and even a hammock or two.

The resort's French chef, Dominique Thevenet, will prepare pretty much whatever you want in Covecastles' central dining room (open to the public) overlooking the beach or, with some advance notice, in your own quarters.
