What to know

What makes Anguilla stand out, and what to watch for

Why expats choose Anguilla

Pristine beaches, no income tax, and a small, safe community make Anguilla one of the Caribbean's most exclusive addresses; the Entrepreneurial Residence category offers a structured path.

Watch out for

Almost everything is imported, so groceries and everyday goods cost significantly more than the mainland; dining and entertainment skew toward the luxury end of the market.

Costs vary a lot by city, neighbourhood, and lifestyle — these are directional monthly bands for the main expat city, current as of 2026. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote. Information only, not financial advice.
