Antigua
With its hot-pink, white and black color scheme, wispy cabanas and attached art gallery, breezy Ana's mixes urban sophistication with a relaxed vibe that matches its beachfront setting. The menu is big on Mediterranean staples including Caprese salad, seafood risotto and salmon tagliatelle, but also does a range of tasty curries.
Being hemmed in by resorts puts it largely off the radar of locals.
