Port Nimara: Anguilla Breaks Ground on First Marina & Luxury Development
Anguilla's first marina, Port Nimara, is under development, featuring a 118-slip marina, a five-star hotel, and luxury villas. Set to open in 2027, it aims to transform Anguilla’s yachting scene.
It’s official. Anguilla’s first-ever marina, Port Nimara, is underway, with groundbreaking announced in January 2025. After decades of discussions about a marina at Forest Bay or the salt pond behind Sandy Ground, developers have selected a strategic location on Anguilla’s southwest shore, nestled between Cap Juluca and the Altamer estate.
