Hotels near Wallblake Airport

Clayton J. Lloyd International (still known as Wallblake) takes only small turboprops from San Juan, Antigua and St Maarten: many visitors instead arrive by ferry from Marigot, on St Martin, in just 20 minutes at sea and with around ten departures a day. Anguilla has no scheduled buses or a real town: the choice of area depends on the beach you want on your doorstep, not on how close it is to the terminal. Travellers flying directly into Clayton J. Lloyd who want the shortest transfer stay near The Valley; those arriving by ferry find it easier to stay in Blowing Point. Either way a rental car or fixed-rate taxis remain essential, because the island has no public transport.

The airport and The Valley

Bel Ti Plas is in Rock Farm, about 2 km from Crocus Bay Beach; Deany's Uptop Luxury Suite is in North Hill Village: both a few minutes by taxi from the airport. The island has no scheduled buses, only government-set fixed-rate taxis or rental cars.

Best for: Travellers arriving on a direct flight to Clayton J. Lloyd who want the shortest transfer, or anyone departing early in the morning on one of the few charter connections.

Pros
  • A few minutes by taxi from the terminal, handy for the small turboprop flights from San Juan, St Maarten or Antigua
  • The Valley concentrates the island's offices and the few shops, useful in case of flight mishaps
Cons
  • The busiest beaches, Shoal Bay and Meads Bay, stay a 10-15 minute taxi ride away
  • A residential area with no restaurants of its own: dinner depends on a taxi or car

North coast: Shoal Bay and Limestone Bay

10-15 minutes by car or taxi from the airport; no public transport, only fixed-rate taxis or rental cars.

Best for: Travellers who want the beach right outside the door, on the island's Atlantic side, away from The Valley's (minimal) traffic.

Pros
  • Shoal Bay East is among the best-preserved beaches in the Caribbean, with beach bars like Uncle Ernie's and Gwen's
  • Limestone Bay is a smaller, more sheltered bay, with fewer tourists
Cons
  • A rental car or taxi is needed for every trip, even just for dinner outside the accommodation
  • Few shops nearby: grocery shopping is done in The Valley or Sandy Ground

Blowing Point and the ferry to St Martin

Public ferries connect Blowing Point to Marigot in 20 minutes, with around 10 departures a day between 7:30 and 18:00, no booking needed (ticket bought on the spot, 30 USD each way).

Best for: Travellers arriving or leaving by ferry from Marigot, St Martin, instead of by plane, or anyone who wants to stay near Rendezvous Bay.

  • Suited to travellers planning their trip around the ferry rather than the flight to Clayton J. Lloyd
  • Rendezvous Bay is a few minutes' walk away, less busy than Shoal Bay
Cons
