Anguilla is turning up the heat on summer travel with more than just sunshine and beaches.

The island has officially relaunched its summer campaign, Exclusively Yours, aimed at redefining what a Caribbean summer escape can be. Now in its second year, the campaign builds on a strong debut in 2024, when Anguilla saw double-digit growth in summer stayovers. This year, tourism officials are going even bigger, targeting luxury and mid-luxe travelers with a promise of curated, immersive experiences that go well beyond the shoreline.

Running from June through early September, Exclusively Yours positions Anguilla as a true year-round destination. While its beautiful beaches remain a major draw, the campaign’s focus in 2025 includes diving, adventure sports, local cultural immersions, and a wide range of accommodations from five-star resorts to boutique villas. 

Luxury travel for less

Drawing inspiration from the art of handwritten letters, the Exclusively Yours campaign emphasizes intimacy and connection through clean visuals and heartfelt storytelling. Central to the message is Anguilla’s signature promise: “Less Screen Time, More Island Time.”

This year, the initiative expands beyond luxury resorts to include exclusive promotions at villas, boutique hotels, and charming hideaways scattered across the island. It also introduces curated experiential tours and rentals, designed to offer a fuller, more personalized travel experience that appeals to everyone.

Some standout deals include “Stay 6 Nights, Pay for 5” at Altamer Villas and the “Exclusively Yours Summer Offer” at Nevaeh Villa. Book six or more nights under the Heavenly package at Nevaeh, and you’ll be treated to a complimentary Caribbean barbecue welcome dinner, complete with unlimited rum punch.

You can explore all of the deals on the Exclusively Yours booking platform.

This thoughtfully designed pop-up at Ocean Casino Resort is worth the visit
Ocean Casino Resort

There’s no question that Ocean Casino Resort is the nicest Atlantic City hotel & casino resort — and most Atlantic City regulars would agree. While there are other hotels I love for different unique reasons, Ocean Casino Resort is an overall great choice for the majority of visitors. You just can’t beat the vibes of Ocean Casino Resort that remind me more of Vegas than any other hotel resort in the area. From the taller ceilings to the modern rooms, the entire stay experience here is designed to feel a bit more luxury than was once associated with Atlantic City. Plus, you can’t beat those incredible ocean views you get from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest rooms.

Though I’ve been to Ocean Casino Resort many times in the past, my most recent visit made me fall in love with this resort all over again. Every time I come back here I find something new to explore — whether it’s the Enomatic wine dispensers at Bottled Wine Bar or Ocean’s 18 mini golf, this hotel is the spot to be for guests who want a different experience every time they visit Atlantic City. Sure, there’s something to be said for going back to your favorite restaurant or playing at the same blackjack table you always win on. But, frequent visitors like myself want something new to look forward to during every visit. It’s clear Ocean Casino Resort understands this, especially after checking out their most recent innovation: America’s Birthday Bar.

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
