Stepping ontoZemi Beach Houses property was like stepping into a mini paradise.

I could walk straight onto the beach from my porch!

This attention to detail throughout the entire resort exuded a sense of luxury.

They work hard so you dont have to.

When youthink about Anguilla, you probably think about the big picture.

But Zemi really shines because they’ve taken care of all the details you probably havent thought about yet.

Did you forget your sunscreen?

Dont worry, the beach concierge and pool cabanas have it stocked.

Bad weather on your beach holiday?

Try your private heated plunge pool instead.

Not sure what to do about child care?

Stop by the Kids Club.

Zemi Beach House shows a real commitment to covering all the guests needs to make their vacation a vacation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, or dune, of what Zemi offers.

To learn everything Zemi can provide, read my full review below.

Several large solar panels

Basic guest rooms start at 700 square feet, with suites up to 2,800 square feet.

The larger suites have multiple bedrooms that can be locked off or added to house your entire family.

Bathrooms have large tubs adorned with rubber duckies and Malin + Goetz toiletries.

My suite included a living room and a stocked kitchen, with a fridge already full of various options.

Freshly baked cookies are delivered every night during turndown service.

One perk is that every room, no matter the size, includes a private patio or balcony.

Also, every room size has an option for a private heated plunge pool.

I stayed in a ground-level beachfront suite and could walk directly onto the beach from my patio.

Food and Drink

Bohio Lounge acts as the social center of the resort.

(The mocktail options are impressive, too, making it perfect for anyone in the family.)

However, the pride of the resort might be the Rhum Room.

The cozy interior is blue with pops of orange, creating an elegant speakeasy with nautical whimsy.

The lunch and dinner menu features classic dishes with a Caribbean flair.

They bake fantastic bread, which makes excellent pizza and pairs well with fresh hummus.

For a fine dining experience, book a dinner reservation at Stone.

The menu is Asian Caribbean fusion and changes seasonally.

I started with the curried mussels, my absolute favorite of the night.

Then, I had the incredibly fresh red snapper before finishing with the pistachio creme brulee.

Zemi Beach House helps you maximize your time with four pools and direct access to the beach.

The gym is small but mighty, with several new machines, free weights, and treadmills.

The main star of the resort is the beach, Shoal Bay.

A long strip of white sand and warm blue water hugs the coastline.

The resort has several access points, and chairs and umbrellas are plentiful.

Zemis Thai Spa is an authentic 300-year-old Thai house transported from Thailand.

The spa also includes the vitality pool, kept at body temperature for a soothing, relaxing experience.

Daily activities include everything from Mario Kart to mermaid experiences to coconut bowling.

Zemi even offers kid-friendly cooking lessons.

(It then switches to partial solar energy during the night.)

But sustainability doesnt end there.

It also sources its produce locally and seasonally.

There is one ADA-compliant room on Zemis property.

(The trip to Anguilla takes just 20 minutes.)

Once on Anguilla, Zemi is only a short taxi ride away.
