| Bedroom Specs |
Covecastles stand like a line of abstract sculptures, stark white against the extraordinary blues of Anguilla?s sea and sky. Set on the leisurely curve of a pretty, quiet beach, the sixteen villas are almost a study in geometry, each an assembly of quadrants, cubes, cylinders and columns
The bedrooms are upstairs in most cases and they have the same woven cane furniture at the foot and head of the beds and a full-wall view through glass or open louvres. They look out onto the hazy outline or the evening lights of St Martin, which look attractive in the distance.

Description of Cove Castles Resort:
Situated on a half-mile stretch of magnificent snow-white beach, Covecastles on Anguilla is a truly unique, luxury villa resort. Covecastles provides a truly romantic escape for those seeking luxury and seclusion - without isolation. Private and secluded on 8 acres, only 14 spacious villas sit directly in the sand on a pristine beach, just steps from the turquoise blue water.
Enjoy amenities normally found only at a hotel - a concierge, personal housekeeper, room service, a delightful restaurant for dinner and a friendly staff to attend to your every need. Eight 2-bedroom beach houses, four 3-bedroom and two 4-bedroom villas all feature floor to ceiling windows providing spectacular vistas.
Each consists of a well-appointed living room, dining area, custom kitchen and private verandah on the beach levels, with bedrooms on the second floor. Cable TV, VCR and CD players are provided (with a library of videos and CDs available
Relax in the hammock on your private verandah, or enjoy complimentary sunfish, kayaks, snorkels, bicycles or the lighted tennis court. The resort's intimate French restaurant is open evenings, and provides room service for breakfast and lunch. A number of Anguilla's finest restaurants are within a 5-minute ride.
Cove Castles Resort Amenities:
ere are some central facilities to the villa resort. There is a small but very good restaurant set at the heart of the villas, see Dining below. There is a tennis court and at the reception you will find a small boutique, with beachwear and other clothing. Some watersports equipment is available including snorkelling gear and kayaks as well as loungers and parasols for the beach. Despite these central facilities, Covecastles does not give a feeling of staying in a hotel. It is very much a series of villas, in which you can be as private as you want. Each villa comes with a housekeeper (there from 9am to 4pm).
The architect of Covecastles, New Yorker Myron Goldfinger, is an award-winning member of the American Institute of Architects and has been in practise since the 1960s. His work, which is to be found mainly along the eastern seaboard of the United States and in Anguilla, has an extremely distinctive, geometric style with a very modern feel. He usually uses simple shapes to create buildings that have an air almost of abstract sculpture. He has published two books, including Villages in the Sun about vernacular Mediterranean architecture, which has provided some of the inspirational themes of his own work. Many of his creations have been written up in Architectural Digest, including Covecastles and the nearby Altamer, a villa resort and restaurant at the other end of Shoal Bay. For more information, see his website at www.myrongoldfinger.com.
Covecastles have existed now for 20 years, first appearing on Anguilla when there was really very little on the island. Since then the island has developed considerably and Covecastles has been imitated, even outdone in the extremes of its geometrical fantasy, but Covecastles is the original and has much presence as it ever did. It has successfully stood the test of time

Beach & Swimming
Covecastles are set right on the sand in Shoal Bay West near the western tip of Anguilla, overlooking St Martin in the distance. The beach has excellent white sand that dips into classic Anguillan water, jade in the shallows, graduating to turquoise and eventually azure. The beach is hemmed in at the western end by a rocky point, on which the last of the villas is situated.
The bay is often referred to as Shoal Bay West, which distinguishes it from the other, busier beach by the same name, which is on the north shore farther east. The other Shoal Bay is better known and people are usually referring to that if they say just Shoal Bay.
There is no central pool at Covecastles and only a couple of the villas have their own pools.

Sports & Recreation
Covecastles have some simple watersports equipment, including kayaks and small sailboats. There is a tennis court which can be lit for night play. Racquets and balls are available at the Reception.
There is soon due to be a golf course in Anguilla. The opening is set for late 2005 or early 2006.

Staff
Each villa has a housekeeper, who is in the house from 9am each day until 4pm. Their duties are to clean the house and although they will prepare a cold meal for you arrival, they do not generally prepare meals
The General Manager of Covecastles is Mrs Sylvene Petty, a redoubtable Nevisian lady who has lived in Anguilla since the 1970s.

Dining
There is an excellent restaurant at Covecastles. It is small, but it is part of the best tradition of Anguilla and offers high grade French cuisine prepared by French chef Dominique Thevenet, who has lived on the island for many years. The dining room has the same abstract architectural setting as the rest of the resort, with views of St Martin in the distance, or the moon reflecting on the sea. There are just seven tables at Covecastles? restaurant, so it is important to reserve well in advance.
The cuisine is French and uses the best of the (excellent, almost all imported) ingredients available on the island, as well as local Anguillan lobster and freshly caught fish.

Useful Hints
It may be important to know that most of the villas do not have their own pools and that there is no central pool.
