Quintessence Hotel sits above Long Bay on Anguilla’s quieter western side, surrounded by tropical gardens and only a short walk from pale sand and turquoise water. The accommodations are individually decorated and filled with art, antiques and handcrafted details, giving each room a distinct identity. Owner Geoffrey Fieger’s collection is central to the experience and includes what the hotel describes as the largest collection of Haitian art outside Haiti.
Overlooking secluded Long Bay, Quintessence feels more like a collector’s Caribbean mansion than a resort, combining museum-quality Haitian art, intimate suites, a serious wine cellar and lush private gardens.
