Anguilla is just an 8-minute flight from St. Maarten (SXM) on Anguilla Air Services. Anguilla Air Services is also an ideal way to take a side trip to St. Barths for a day. Private planes of certain sizes may land at Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd Airport (AXA).

Getting Around Anguilla

There aren’t any buses, trains or other on-island public transportation on Anguilla. Most residents bike, walk or own cars.

Many guests prefer to drive around the island themselves. Our concierge can arrange a rental car, jeep or SUV.

Anguilla has one main road that connects one end of the island to the other, with many smaller roads feeding into it. It takes about 30 minutes to drive its length. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road and the speed limit is 30 mph. To drive, you must be 18 years old, show a valid driver’s license from your resident country and obtain an Anguilla driver’s license which is procured as part of your car rental. You’ll quickly notice that most businesses and accommodations don’t have detailed street addresses, often just listing their location as “The Valley” or referring to the bay or road on which they are located

Anguilla taxis are best for short trips as fares can be expensive and extra charges for after 6 pm, additional people and baggage can add up. Taxis are required to be registered and the rates are set so you can confirm your fare in advance with the dispatcher.
