While some people may view Hollywood stars as a type of American Royalty, the truth is that they are just like the rest of us in many ways. Despite their high figure salaries, stars tend to work hard at their craft and when they get time off they want to enjoy a relaxing vacation. For many of these stars, this means getting away from Hollywood, finding somewhere beautiful and warm and enjoying a variety of activities that they may not have time for during their months of shooting a film and memorizing lines. Anguilla offers a nice escape for many Hollywood stars and is a place where they can truly relax.
The Call of the Caribbean
Anguilla is an island, or rather a small group of islands that is part of the West Indies. It lies East of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Although the Island is only 35 miles squares it is known for it’s miles of clean sandy beaches, it almost perfect temperature which averages about 80 degrees Fahrenheit and is considered to be one of the sunniest places in the world.
However, while the pristine beaches and beautiful weather is certainly a selling point for visitors to this island, part of the real charm of Anguilla is what one can only describe as the call of the Caribbean. Life in the Caribbean tends to be slower paced, more relaxed and far more friendly that what you will find in any large city on earth and it is this sense of peace, quiet, and contentment that many stars such as Michael J. Fox, Sofia Vergara, and Liam Neeson enjoy during their times on this island. Here they can shed their star status or at least some of it, and simply enjoy what the island has to offer and it has plenty to offer.
Doing the Tourist thing
Visitors to the island can either simply relax on one or more of the islands beautiful beaches, or swim in the turquoise colored waters, or spend a day at a spa being pampered or they can choose to take part in a variety of tourist activities including Glass bottom boat tours, horseback riding on the beach, Hiking and more. Even stars enjoy the occasional ride along the beach, or a day out on the waters in a boat, simply relaxing with friends.
Of course, the Island offers 5 and even 6 star accommodations to celebrities and anyone else who can afford to vacation in luxury and it is possible to even rent a private luxury villa while visiting the Island.
Most visitors to the island whether a well known star or not enjoy dining at both the little seafood shacks that dot the beaches and serve up some mighty good seafood meals, and the first class restaurants that are available to choose from.
While the Island does offer some nightlife and places to dance, these places have a more relaxed atmosphere than do clubs in the city, and enjoying a night on the town is more relaxing on Anguilla than any of those Hollywood hot spots.
Best of all, regular every day people and even families can get affordable vacation packages to visit this Island making it possible for regular everyday people to enjoy a star studded vacation in the Caribbean.
