The Whole Story
Inspired by Juluca, the ancient Arawak’s rainbow spirit, a mythical creature covered in fine feathers of all colours who was supposed to bring luck to any fisherman who saw it, Cap Juluca continues the Arawak tradition of cultivating a culture of tranquillity on the island of Anguilla.
To make the best of these noble intentions, this 179 acre resort has just completed a 22 million dollar renovation. The emphasis of this project was to rejuvenate in terms of technology and features without altering the distinctive all-white Moorish signature that has made it so unique in the Caribbean.
Sixty thousand plants were added to the gardens, 40-inch HD TVs and iPod docking stations were added to the rooms (as well as free wireless) and the three restaurants were completely renovated.
What has not changed is the white sand of the Cap Juluca beach that stretches for almost a mile from one end of crescent-shaped Maundays Bay to the other. With a view of the mountains of St. Maarten in the near distance, the true magic of Cap Juluca is its location.
No more than six guest rooms occupy each villa, and every room has an ocean view with the beach just steps from the signature white domes of the distinctive architecture. Three restaurants: Pimms, serving fine Eurobbean cuisine, Spice, for pan Asian specialities, and Blue, a casual affair on the beach, form the core of the culinary experience. Complimentary morning coffee and afternoon tea can be taken in Maundays Club. Then of course there is the complimentary Hobie Cats, kayaking, snorkelling, windsurfing and sailing, increasing your chance of spotting a Juluca.
The Rooms
Every room at Cap Juluca has an ocean view, and each room is only a few steps from the white, powdery sand. There are eighteen beachfront villas in total, each with no more than six rooms or suites. The size of the rooms is very generous; the smallest rooms are 700 square feet in floor space.
