Zemi Beach House: points prices, rooms and Diamond perks (2026)

Last updated October 13, 2026

Zemi Beach House is the only LXR Hotels & Resorts property in the Caribbean, on Shoal Bay East in Anguilla. Award nights span 90,000 to 150,000 points and peak in the winter high season.

Why Zemi Beach House matters for Hilton members

Zemi Beach House is the only LXR property in the Caribbean and the rare way to spend or earn Hilton points on Anguilla, an island known for high-end villas and resorts that sit outside any loyalty program. If you want points currency and a true beach resort, this is the property that gives you both.

The beach is the reason to choose it. Shoal Bay East is a long arc of soft white sand and clear water, calmer and less developed than the busier Caribbean islands, and Zemi Beach House sits right on it with most rooms a short walk from the water.

The resort delivers on the details that matter at this price: Stone for a serious dinner, the Rhum Room for a rum and cigar evening in a centuries-old Thai house, a spa built for slow mornings, and a calm, service-led feel that fits a quiet island.

For points travelers, the value case is strongest in the winter high season. When cash rates climb past $1,000 a night, a 130,000 to 150,000 point redemption clears better than half a cent per point, which is a strong use of a Hilton balance at a property that rarely discounts.

History and architecture, briefly

Zemi Beach House opened in 2016 on Shoal Bay East and joined Hilton as the debut LXR Hotels & Resorts property in the Americas. It has 77 rooms and suites across a low-rise beachfront layout, so the building never towers over the sand.

The signature piece is the Thai House: a roughly 300-year-old hand-carved teak house from Thailand, reassembled on the property, that holds the Rhum Room and parts of the spa. It gives Zemi Beach House a sense of place that a new build cannot copy.

As an LXR property, the resort pairs its beach setting with the Hilton Honors program, so points and elite status travel with you to an island where most lodging sits outside any chain. The rooms run from entry rooms to large beachfront suites and a penthouse.

The beach, the Thai House, and the spa are the draw, and they set Zemi Beach House apart from the villa rentals that make up most of Anguilla.

Zemi Beach House rooms: book these, skip these

Rooms at Zemi Beach House run from garden-view entry rooms to large beachfront suites, so the choice is mostly about how close you want to be to the water and how much space you need. The beachfront suites are the ones to chase, and an entry garden room is the way to keep the rate down. It is worth booking direct and asking for the view you want.

Book

• Beachfront suite. The suites facing Shoal Bay East are the reason to come, with direct beach access, a large terrace, and the best light. Confirm a beachfront, not a partial-view, suite when you book.
• 1- or 2-bedroom suite for a longer stay. The larger suites add a full living area and kitchen space, a good pick for a week on the island or a family, and the best use of a Diamond suite upgrade if one clears.
• Upper-floor room for the view. A higher floor at Zemi Beach House gets the widest ocean view and the most privacy on the balcony. Book direct and ask for an upper floor at check-in.

Skip

• Garden-view entry rooms, if the beach is the point. These rooms keep the rate down but face the grounds. On a Zemi Beach House stay where the beach is the reason you came, it is worth paying up for an ocean view.
• Rooms near the pool and bar on busy weeks. During the winter high season the pool and 20 Knots can be lively, so the nearest rooms can carry noise. Ask for a quieter room set back from the action if you are a light sleeper.
• Third-party bookings of any kind. Honors points stop, Diamond benefits stop, and the room-type and view request never arrives. Direct booking keeps the upgrade path.

Dining at Zemi Beach House

Zemi Beach House keeps its dining on site, which matters on a quiet island where restaurants are spread out and a car or taxi is the only way to reach them. The range covers a serious dinner, a beach lunch, and a rum evening.

• Stone. The fine-dining restaurant, with seasonal sea-to-table cooking, a deep wine list, and an in-house sommelier. It handles the Diamond food and beverage credit and is the destination meal at the resort.
• 20 Knots. The casual toes-in-the-sand restaurant and beach bar, with an international menu and the daily breakfast. This is the all-day spot for lunch and a relaxed dinner by the water.
• The Rhum Room. Set inside the 300-year-old Thai teak house, with more than 100 small-batch and single-estate rums, cigars, and signature cocktails. The signature evening at Zemi Beach House and a draw in its own right.

Breakfast at 20 Knots is included on many rates, and Diamond and Gold members get the daily food and beverage credit toward Stone or the Rhum Room on top of it. On a multi-night stay the credit takes a real bite out of a dinner.

Anguilla has a strong dining scene off property, from beach shacks to high-end rooms, but they are spread across the island and need a taxi. Plan a night or 2 out and lean on Stone and 20 Knots for the rest.

Worth knowing: Stone is the sit-down dinner, 20 Knots covers the beach hours, and the Rhum Room is the after-dinner room. Across a week, that mix keeps you on property when the island’s restaurants feel too far.

Hilton Honors strategy at Zemi Beach House

Cash rates by season

Cash rates at Zemi Beach House follow Caribbean seasonality: highest in the winter high season when northern travelers escape the cold, and lowest in late summer and early fall during hurricane season. Anguilla is a premium island, so even the low season is not cheap.

• Late summer, August to October: roughly $400 to $650 a night, the softest stretch, during hurricane season when some Anguilla resorts close and rates drop.
• Shoulder, May to July and November: roughly $550 to $850, with good weather and lighter crowds than the winter peak.
• Winter high season, December to April: $800 to $1,500 or more, when Anguilla fills with travelers escaping winter and rates peak.
• Holiday weeks: Christmas, New Year, and Presidents week push rates past $1,800 with multi-night minimums, so book those dates a year ahead.

Award rates and Aspire/Surpass certificate value

Award nights at Zemi Beach House run roughly 90,000 to 150,000 points for a standard room, climbing in the winter high season. At 0.5 cents a point, a 90,000-point night beats paying cash only when the room costs more than $450.

On a $500 late-summer night, paying 95,000 points is about 0.53 cents per point, a fair trade. On a $1,300 winter night, 145,000 points clears about 0.90 cents per point, which is a strong redemption and the best reason to spend a Hilton balance here.

• Late-summer nights: a toss-up. The cash rate is reachable, so compare the points cost against it and book whichever clears 0.5 cents per point.
• Shoulder dates: lean toward points if your balance is large, since the cash rate is high enough to make a redemption pay off.
• Winter high-season weeks: use points or the Aspire certificate. An $800 night against 120,000 points returns about 0.67 cents a point, above the 0.5 cent baseline.

Diamond benefits, specifically

Diamond members get the daily food and beverage credit, which works at Stone, 20 Knots, and the Rhum Room. Because many rates already include breakfast, the credit goes toward dinner or a rum evening, where it has the most value.

Space-available upgrades at Zemi Beach House tend to move you toward a higher floor, a better ocean view, or a beachfront suite. Because it is a small 77-room resort, the suite inventory is limited, so your odds are best in the low season and slim during the winter peak.

There is no executive lounge, which is normal for a resort of this size. The food and beverage credit, the beach, the spa, and the Rhum Room are the substitute, and the included breakfast covers the morning.

Gold members receive the identical food and beverage credit and Wi-Fi, so the distance between the 2 tiers is short here compared with a club-lounge hotel. The Diamond edge is mostly upgrade odds toward a beachfront suite, which matters at a resort where the view is the point.

Per-stay value math

The numbers below price a 3-night stay at Zemi Beach House on a shoulder-season week, paid in cash by a Diamond member.

• 3 nights at roughly $700 each, so $2,100 before tax.
• Anguilla accommodation tax and a service charge add roughly 22 percent: about $460.
• Resort fee, if charged, at roughly $50 a night: $150 for 3 nights.
• Daily food and beverage credit as a Diamond member: about $75 total back at Stone.
• All in, expect roughly $2,635 for 3 nights with taxes and the fee, before flights and food beyond the credit.

Best and worst months to book Zemi Beach House

Best months to book Zemi Beach House on cash are the late-summer weeks, August through October, when rates sit at their annual low. The trade is hurricane season, so watch the forecast and consider travel insurance.

May through July and November are the comfortable middle, with good weather, lighter crowds, and rates around $550 to $850. These are the weeks where a free night certificate pulls solid value before the winter peak.

Worst months for value are the winter high season and the holiday weeks. Rates run $800 to $1,500 or more and the best suites go first, so book those dates far ahead or plan to use points, where the redemption value is actually at its best.

Late spring and November cost less on Anguilla, with lower hurricane risk than late summer. A free night certificate on those dates replaces a $550 to $850 room rate.

Trade-offs

Anguilla takes effort to reach. Most travelers fly into St. Maarten and connect by ferry or a short charter flight to Anguilla, then drive to Shoal Bay East. Build the transfer time and cost into the trip.

It is a premium island with premium prices, and Zemi Beach House does not discount heavily. Even the low season is expensive, and the winter peak is among the highest-priced weeks of any Hilton property.

It is a small 77-room resort, so expect a short list of amenities. The beach, the spa, the pool, and the 3 dining rooms cover most needs, but do not expect the scale of a mega-resort.

Anguilla is quiet by design. There are no casinos, no cruise crowds, and limited nightlife, which is the appeal for some travelers and a drawback for others. The island is about the beach and the calm.

Set expectations on the rooms. They are comfortable and many face the water, but this is a 2016 resort, so book a beachfront suite or a higher floor if space and the best view are a priority.

Other LXR options if Zemi Beach House is sold out

• Casa Marina Key West. A Curio beach resort in the Florida Keys with private Atlantic sand, an easier-to-reach US option with the same Hilton points currency.
• Mango House Seychelles. Another LXR beach resort if you want a quiet, upscale island and you are open to a far longer flight, for a different ocean entirely.
• Other Hilton resorts in the Caribbean. If Zemi Beach House is sold out in the winter peak, a larger Hilton or Curio resort elsewhere in the Caribbean trades Anguilla’s calm for easier availability.
