You land directly on Anguilla. The plane drops over the hillside and touches down at Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport. No connection in St. Maarten. No boat transfer. Within minutes, you’re in a car heading toward Shoal Bay East, where the sand runs long and white and the water stays calm and swimmable.
For spring travel, the island just became easier to reach — and less expensive.
AnguillAir, operated by BermudAir, has partnered with Zemi Beach House on a limited-time collaboration that includes complimentary roundtrip flights from Newark when you book a qualifying stay at the hotel on the airline’s platform.
What This Includes
When you reserve three or more nights at Zemi Beach House through AnguillAir’s Newark–Anguilla package, your roundtrip airfare is included.
The flights operate nonstop between Newark and Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport on AnguillAir. The offer applies exclusively to AnguillAir-operated service on that route and must be booked directly through the airline’s website as part of the combined package.
The booking window runs through March 15, 2026. Travel is valid through April 12, 2026.
There is no credit issued later and no reimbursement after booking. The airfare is built directly into the reservation at the time of purchase.
For travelers in the Northeast, the value is immediate and visible.
The Direct Arrival
Anguilla has traditionally required a connection through St. Maarten, followed by a ferry, a private boat, or short inter-island flight. It’s familiar territory for repeat visitors, but it adds another leg to the day.
The Newark nonstop removes that layer.
You board at EWR and land directly at AXA. From the airport, Zemi Beach House is about a 10-minute drive east. You can arrive and be walking along Shoal Bay East the same afternoon. That’s pretty hard to beat.
Why Zemi Beach House
Zemi sits directly on Shoal Bay East, one of Anguilla’s longest uninterrupted stretches of white sand. The beach is flat and open, with a gradual water entry that makes swimming easy most days
The design leans modern Caribbean — light woods, clean lines, wide windows facing the sea. Oceanfront rooms open to balconies with clear sightlines across the water. Ground-level suites step straight from terrace to sand. The multi-bedroom residences give families kitchens, living areas and private plunge pools while keeping you within the hotel’s main footprint.
It’s luxe but also fun and carefree. The vibes are immaculate.
At 20 Knots, the hotel’s beachfront restaurant, you sit just back from the sand with the sea in view. The menu focuses on seafood and Caribbean flavors — grilled local catch, lobster in season, island spices used with restraint. It’s the kind of place where lunch runs long and dinner lingers through sunset.
The Rhum Room is one of the island’s most distinctive spaces — dark wood walls, deep seating and a collection of rums from across the Caribbean. It’s a pre-dinner stop that often turns into a second round.
The spa is built around a 300-year-old Thai house relocated to the property, giving it a character unlike other wellness facilities on the island. Inside, treatments draw from Asian traditions in a setting that feels separate from the beachfront energy.
This is the hottest place to stay in Anguilla right now, and it’s the essence of what makes Anguilla so cool: that combination of sophistication and barefoot cool, luxury and toes-in-the-sand breeziness.
The Rhum Room
The Rhum Room is one of the signature rum bars in the Caribbean, with what is, in our view, one of the top rum selections of any rum bar in the region. Dark wood walls, low lighting and a substantial collection of rums from across the Caribbean create a contrast to the brightness outside. Bartenders guide tastings through regional styles, from molasses to sugarcane juice to everything in between. The room works as a pre-dinner stop or a late-evening gathering place when the beach has quieted. And it’s a must if you’re a lover of the Noble Spirit.
Anguilla’s Dining Depth
Anguilla’s reputation as a culinary island is not accidental. With roughly 100 restaurants across 16 miles of coastline, the density is unusual for a destination of its size.
Beach shacks and fine-dining rooms sit within short drives of one another. Lunch might mean grilled snapper with rice and peas at a roadside spot overlooking the water. Dinner could move to a hillside dining room at Veya, seafood at Blanchards on Meads Bay, or tasting menus at Sharky’s in The Valley.
Reservations matter here during peak season. Tables fill early, particularly along Meads Bay and Shoal Bay.
Staying at Zemi places you on one of the island’s strongest beaches while keeping the broader restaurant circuit within reach. You can remain on property or rotate through the island’s dining scene over several nights without long drives or complicated routes.
Why This Stands Out
Anguilla does not typically lean on airfare incentives. Hotel inventory across the island remains limited, and peak-season pricing tends to hold firm.
By including roundtrip airfare from Newark for guests staying three or more nights, this collaboration lowers one of the most significant cost barriers to visiting the island, on the newest air service to the island.
The Window
Bookings must be made through March 15, 2026, with travel completed by April 12, 2026. The offer applies only to AnguillAir-operated flights between Newark and Anguilla and must be reserved via the airline’s website as part of the package.
Seats on the Newark service are limited, and the airfare inclusion is tied specifically to a stay of three nights or more at Zemi Beach House.
Travelers departing from the New York area can access Anguilla on a nonstop flight paired directly with a beachfront stay on Shoal Bay East.
