Yes, the RHONY Women Are Heading on a Trip — Learn All About the Tropical Destination
Even the picturesque beaches and relaxed island vibe can’t stave off the drama for the women of The Real Housewives of New York City as they head on vacation together.
The ladies of The Real Housewives of New York City are leaving the Big Apple for tropical paradise!
The newest set of Housewives are packing their bags and heading to Anguilla for a cast trip filled with sunshine, shots, and plenty of drama.
Why is Anguilla special?
Although only 16 miles long, Anguilla is home to some of the most stunning beaches in the world and has a laid-back vibe sure to put even the most tense New Yorker at ease.

The island has maintained its quaint feel by placing an embargo on large cruise ships, high-rise hotels, and casinos and has instead lined its unpaved roads with beach bars and bungalows, according to U.S. News & World Report Travel.
There’s also no shortage of beaches with 33 separate beaches along the small island, each with their own distinct feel, according to the island’s tourism site. Some of the more popular beach destinations include Rendezvous Bay, Shoal Bay, Maundays Bay, Meads Bay, and Cove Bay.
“In Anguilla, water temperatures range between 70ºF and 80ºF, perfect for swimming,” the site boasts. “Most Anguillian beaches are placid and calm with gentle shoals. Occasionally, the Atlantic side of the island produces surf during the winter months.”
The British territory, which sits east of the U.S. territory Puerto Rico, was first colonized in 1650 by settlers from Saint Kitts.
When tourists aren’t lounging on the picturesque beaches, they can take in some of the island’s bars and restaurants. The beachside restaurant Dune Preserve was opened by reggae artist and musician Bankie Banx. Banx regularly takes the stage to entertain restaurant guests, but the stage has also welcomed famous musicians like Jimmy Buffett and John Mayer.
Like most Caribbean islands, seafood reigns supreme in Anguilla and visitors often enjoy the delectable fare, which can also include rice, plantains, and fresh vegetables, at outdoor and/or beachside restaurants.
Where is the RHONY Season 14 cast trip?
It’s clear the ladies will have plenty of Instagram-worthy views (we’re looking at you, Sai De Silva) in the tranquil paradise, but in true Housewives fashion it appears the trip won’t be all sunshine and rainbows.
A preview of the upcoming trip in Sunday’s episode foreshadowed some drama over how the women got to the island.
“Jenna (Lyons) says, ‘I’m not flying down with you guys because I don’t fly coach,’” Erin Lichy is seen dishing to the other 'Wives.
It’s a contention that Jenna seemed to dispute herself.
“Do you actually believe that I didn’t come with you because I didn’t want to fly on coach?” she asked later as the women dined out.
“I do,” Sai quickly shot back.
And the drama didn’t end there. Sai also must have also rubbed fashion model and hot sauce owner Ubah Hassan the wrong way.

“Good morning,” Sai is heard telling Ubah at their vacation home.
Ubah didn’t want anything to do with the content creator and just cooly walked by without uttering a word.
“Are you mad at me?” Sai asked.
It seems the women hash it out later, but it’s not clear what may have started the feud.
And while Erin was stirring up the drama for others as the trip began, she seems to be at the center of it later during the vacation as she and Ubah get into a heated hot tub face-off.
But whatever got the women so on edge, it’s clear they also took at least some time to let loose.
The upcoming scenes showed Sai behind the bar at a beachside destination, serving as a makeshift bartender for her friends.
“Free shots!” the women shout.
