Sockets in Anguilla
In Anguilla, you’ll find Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Anguilla
Choosing the wrong travel adaptor can damage your devices — or worse, leave you without power. We don’t sell them. But we’ve tested and researched the best option for your trip, looking at voltage, safety, price, charging speed and durability. Here’s our top choice:
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Anguilla is often paired with nearby islands like Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados and Saint Martin. Worth having a look at those pages too — plugs and sockets can vary from one island to the next.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Anguilla for certain devices, as the mains supply there doesn’t match ours. In the UK we use 230 V, so the voltage isn’t the same.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
