Hip Hot
Not exactly a club and not exactly a restaurant, Bliss is an experience. Its casual tropic chic ambiance with palm trees and private cabanas provides the perfect spot to enjoy one of the designer "Blisstinis" or fresh oysters swimming in vodka shot glasses, and also entices visitors hit the dance floor or heated pool. Something is always happening here, from free massages for the ladies on Wednesdays to two-for-one happy hours on Thursdays. There's also a boutique here in case you want to change into something more, well, stylish.

Seek and find

Anguilla fishermen arrive early in the morning on colorful boats to clean fish and sell them on the shore.
