Quintessence Hotel Transfer
Long Bay, Long Bay Village, Anguilla
Getting to Quintessence Hotel
Long Bay is one of those beaches where the name almost undersells it. It stretches in a wide arc on Anguilla's north-west coast, relatively sheltered, and at low tide the sand extends further than you'd expect. Quintessence Hotel sits at one end of it, and its 12 suites make it among the most intimate luxury properties on the island — by design.
The hotel is only 10–15 minutes from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport — the shortest transfer time of any of Anguilla's significant luxury properties. Your chauffeur meets you in arrivals, and you're at the hotel before you've properly finished adjusting to the island air. For small parties wanting discretion and speed, the combination of Quintessence's scale and that journey time is hard to beat.
If you're arriving by ferry from St Maarten, Blowing Point is around 20–25 minutes away. The journey takes you along the island's western roads — a pleasant enough introduction to Anguilla before the hotel does the rest.

About The Property
Quintessence Hotel
Only 12 Suites
The number matters more than it might seem. At this scale, the hotel cannot operate as a resort — it operates more like a private house that happens to accommodate guests. Every interaction reflects that. Nothing is impersonal.
Private Plunge Pools
Each suite has its own private plunge pool. The practical effect is that you have no reason to share a pool with anyone else unless you want to — a level of privacy that larger properties simply cannot offer regardless of their room rates.
Long Bay Beach
A wide, uncrowded arc of beach with clear water and a consistent depth that makes it good for swimming at most tides. The hotel's position on the bay means there is rarely another soul in view from the water.
Bespoke Service
With 12 suites and a full staff, the ratio is exceptional. Requests that would require advance notice at a larger property are handled the same day — sometimes within the hour. It's worth using this to your advantage.
Closest to the Airport
Of Anguilla's major luxury hotels, Quintessence is the nearest to Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport. The 10–15 minute transfer means you lose almost no island time in transit — particularly relevant for shorter stays.
Complete Discretion
The hotel has no pool deck to be seen from, no lobby bar where other guests congregate, no communal spaces designed to generate activity. If what you want from a holiday is to be left entirely alone in beautiful surroundings, this is built for it.
