St. Lucia has long been one of the Caribbean’s most coveted islands for a luxury holiday, home to rolling mountains quilted in rainforest, stunning beaches backed by palm trees and shimmering coastlines sprinkled with coral reefs. This Edenic island hosts not only the iconic peaks of the Pitons but also bubbling geothermal mud baths rich with detoxifying minerals, scenic nature trails engulfed by greenery and colourful cities and villages that shine with vibrant culture and pulsate to the irresistible rhythms of reggae and calypso.
From family-friendly beach resorts to intimate boutique hideaways in the hills to romantic honeymoon retreats by the turquoise Caribbean Sea, we’ve rounded up our favourite resorts across this breathtaking island for you to consider for your next luxury St. Lucia holiday.
BodyHoliday Saint Lucia
This health- and wellbeing-focused resort hugs St. Lucia’s northern shores. Offering a comprehensive all-inclusive plan that includes a plethora of daily-arranged health and fitness activities, this is a modern luxury resort for those seeking not only relaxation but also self-improvement.
Guests can enjoy one-hour therapeutic treatments daily, with the onsite Wellness Clinic operated by a team of experienced health professionals who can help you improve your lifestyle and health.
On top of this, BodyHoliday Saint Lucia lies tucked behind a beautiful crescent beach surrounded by tropical gardens, while the lustrous waters of the Caribbean Sea will add a lingering sense of serenity during your stay.
East Winds
East Winds, nestled on St. Lucia’s northwest coast, embodies the essence of the island’s Caribbean charm. Tranquil, colourful and luxurious, this beautifully designed all-inclusive property comprises a collection of 30 Caribbean cottage-style suites hidden amongst tropical foliage.
Fronting a rugged, unspoilt beach, this peaceful hideaway is the perfect choice for couples seeking sun-soaked seclusion and a quieter ambience. Long sunny days can be spent beneath a thatched beach umbrella, in the sparkling swimming pool or in the crystal-clear waters snorkelling or enjoying a range of water sports activities.
Twice-weekly beach barbecues add a touch of authentic Caribbean flair, while the Garden Spa will prove too tempting to resist with its broad offering of organic treatments.
Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort
Clinging to a coastal hillside and a small private bay in St. Lucia’s northwest corner, the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort’s distinctive design evokes a Mediterranean village.
Appealing to couples and families alike, the resort boasts a premium all-inclusive experience that brims with indulgent benefits, while five onsite restaurants serve some of the best cuisine you can find across the island. The rooms, suites and villas feature crisp décor and whitewashed walls reminiscent of a typical Greek village, an aesthetic which adds real charm to your holiday.
Spend your days unwinding in the spa, exploring the clear-as-glass Caribbean waters while snorkelling, making use of the water sports equipment, or cooling off in one of the six pristine swimming pools.
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort lies between St. Lucia’s impressive Piton peaks and amid 100 acres of virgin rainforest.
This 5-star luxury hotel is one of the island’s finest properties and occupies the site of a former sugar plantation dating to the 18th century. It also has access to a pristine private beach lapped by crystal-clear waters, the majestic peaks of the Pitons dominating the stunning backdrop. From sumptuous fine dining to indulgent treatments at the Rainforest Spa to personalised butler service, every moment here is enhanced by the resort’s impeccable service and high-end hospitality.
With its breathtaking views, world-class amenities and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Sugar Beach promises an unforgettable escape in paradise.
Rabot Hotel From Hotel Chocolat
Nestled slightly inland amid St. Lucia’s flourishing rainforest, Rabot Hotel From Hotel Chocolat is a serene boutique property which places the island’s booming chocolate trade at the heart of the experience.
Owned by the revered British chocolatiers Hotel Chocolat, this beautiful hotel sits within a working chocolate plantation, offering guests immersive chocolate-themed experiences such as chocolate making classes, chocolate factory tours and luxurious spa treatments which incorporate island-grown chocolate. All this is enhanced by stunning views of the Pitons plus roomy accommodation.
We highly recommend combining a stay at Rabot Hotel From Hotel Chocolate with one of St. Lucia’s best beach hotels for a double dose of Saint Lucian luxury.
Jade Mountain Resort
Jade Mountain is arguably Saint Lucia’s most iconic luxury hotel, its no-fourth-wall accommodations opening out to jaw-dropping vistas of the island’s southwestern coastline and the towering Piton peaks.
These views can also be admired, or rather experienced, from each of the 24 Sanctuaries’ private infinity pools - you’d be hard pressed to find a better view at any other hotel across the planet.
An idyllic retreat for a romantic Saint Lucia honeymoon, Jade Mountain also shines with its cuisine that is curated by an award-winning chef, its indulgent spa facility, and its access to the pristine beach and a host of water sports activities, restaurants and more at its sister property, Anse Chastanet, which sits directly below Jade Mountain on the beach.
Cap Maison Resort & Spa
A coastal retreat for any traveller who likes their resort oozing with high-end luxury, can be found on Saint Lucia’s northwest-situated Smugglers Cove.
A family-owned 5-star boutique hotel, this clifftop sanctuary dazzles with its highly personalised service and excellent all-inclusive offering.
From cuisine overseen by an award-winning head chef and cocktails crafted with Caribbean flair, to a beautiful beach with access to a coral-rich house reef oft-frequented by turtles and zipline-delivered champagne on the beach; you can experience the beauty of Saint Lucia while immersed in utmost luxury at Cap Maison Resort & Spa.
