The Cuisin Art Resort and Spa is home to its own hydroponix farm, which produces fresh vegetables right on site.
Wine Teasting is available on select nights and features an assortment of wines from the resort's 3,600 bottle collection.


Bath on the room or swiming on outdoor poor, sound great rite?


The Dunes Preserve is the coolest Bar in Anguilla, is literally right next door to the resort. This is a very chill, treehouse-like hounge. Most nights feature live reggae music performed by the bar's owner, locat music legend Bankie Banx.
