The 15-suite estate, commencing in January 2027, will join ANI's portfolio in the Dominican Republic, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.
ÀNI Private Resorts announced the opening of ÀNI Shoal Bay, its new global flagship property in January 2027. Located on Anguilla’s northern coastline, the 15-suite estate joins ÀNI’s portfolio in the Dominican Republic, Thailand, and Sri Lanka as part of the world’s first collection of luxury private resorts designed exclusively for one group at a time.
More expansive than a traditional villa and more intimate than a standard hotel, ÀNI Shoal Bay represents the most complete expression to date of a concept ÀNI has spent over a decade refining, the private resort. It offers multigenerational families, milestone celebrations and corporate retreats complete, uninterrupted control over an entire guest experience, supported by a dedicated 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio.
“Coming back to Anguilla is deeply personal,” said Tim Reynolds founder of ANI Private Resorts. “This is where ÀNI began, not simply as a property, but as a way of thinking about travel. It was never about creating another luxury destination. It was about creating a space where people could truly be together without barriers, and where each stay contributes to the place that hosts it.”
Set along the Shoal Bay-Island Harbour Marine Park, the resort was designed by AW and led by partner architects Reda Amalou and Stéphanie Ledoux. The estate features expansive, fluid living spaces that transition into outdoor terraces, central pools and Shoal Bay’s natural landscapes. The property offers 15 ocean facing suites, accommodating up to 30 guests maximise personal privacy, the signature Shoal Bay Suite, and twelve of the 15 suites are fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring the estate functions seamlessly for multigenerational groups.
While the property offers a vast array of island experiences and tailored excursions, the highlights of ÀNI Shoal Bay’s on-property facilities include Private Beach Club, featuring spacious cabanas, sun loungers, a private kitchen, and a fully stocked bar; vibrant venues; the dining options; DJ nights; Intuitive Wellness & Spa, including private Spa alongside dedicated treatment rooms; The Tower & Multi-Generational Spaces, and for younger guests, the tower also integrates a fully supervised Kids’ Club with its own swimming pool, waterslide, and activities program.
“Luxury today is no longer defined by access; it is defined by freedom,” says Yeshi Phuntsho, CEO of ÀNI Private Resorts. “The freedom to shape one’s time, enjoy complete privacy, and be fully present with the people who matter most. As luxury continues to evolve from ownership toward experience, what guests value most is genuine connection. At ÀNI, we have always believed that the most meaningful travel is shared, and ÀNI Shoal Bay is our most complete expression of that belief: a place where privacy, presence, and togetherness create an environment in which guests feel entirely at home together.”
