Creating Paradise Cove Resort: A Boutique Retreat Inspired by Anguilla
Located in West End, Anguilla, just moments from the secluded white sands of The Cove Beach, Paradise Cove Resort was thoughtfully designed as a peaceful garden sanctuary.
Rather than building a large commercial resort, Franklin and Sherille Hughes envisioned an intimate boutique property where guests could experience the quieter side of Caribbean luxury while remaining close to Anguilla’s world-famous beaches, restaurants, golf courses, and natural attractions.
Surrounded by tropical landscaping, the resort offers a tranquil escape that perfectly balances modern comforts with the laid-back rhythm of island life.
More Than a Boutique Hotel: The Paradise Cove Resort Experience
Paradise Cove Resort offers far more than comfortable accommodations.

- Tropical swimming pool
- Outdoor Jacuzzis
- Private patios and balconies

Whether enjoying a quiet morning by the pool or returning from a day exploring Anguilla’s beaches, guests quickly discover the welcoming atmosphere that has become Paradise Cove’s signature.
Authentic Anguillian Hospitality at the Heart of Every Stay
While luxury amenities attract visitors, it is the Hughes family’s hospitality that inspires many guests to return year after year.
Paradise Cove was created to reflect the warmth and friendliness that define Anguillian culture.
Rather than emphasizing formality, the resort focuses on genuine service, local recommendations, personal attention, and helping visitors experience the island beyond the typical tourist attractions.
This commitment to authentic hospitality has earned Paradise Cove a loyal following among travelers seeking a more personal Caribbean vacation.
Helping Shape Anguilla’s Tourism Industry
The Hughes family’s impact extends well beyond Paradise Cove Resort.
Co-owner Sherille Hughes has long been recognized as one of Anguilla’s most influential tourism leaders. During her tenure as President of the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association, she worked alongside fellow hoteliers, government officials, and tourism partners to promote Anguilla internationally while supporting sustainable growth across the island’s hospitality sector.
Her leadership helped strengthen Anguilla’s reputation as one of the Caribbean’s premier luxury travel destinations, benefiting not only Paradise Cove but the wider tourism community as well.
Celebrating Black-Owned Caribbean Hospitality
Paradise Cove Resort proudly represents the strength of Black-owned hospitality in the Caribbean.
Owned and operated by an Anguillian family, the resort demonstrates how independent boutique properties continue to preserve local culture while providing visitors with experiences that larger international hotel brands often cannot replicate.
Its success reflects the entrepreneurial spirit that has helped shape Anguilla into one of the Caribbean’s most respected luxury destinations.
Building a Lasting Legacy Through Family-Owned Hospitality
For Franklin and Sherille Hughes, Paradise Cove Resort has never simply been a business.
It represents a commitment to sharing Anguilla’s natural beauty, welcoming spirit, and rich culture with visitors from around the world.
Through decades of thoughtful hospitality, community leadership, and dedication to authentic guest experiences, the Hughes family has helped create a resort that continues to introduce travelers to the very best of island life.
Their legacy is reflected not only in Paradise Cove itself, but in the countless guests who leave with a deeper appreciation for Anguilla and its people.
