1. East Winds
Our Top Choice for Intimate Romance and Personalized Service
Imagine a resort where hummingbirds visit your private patio each morning, where the staff knows your name before your second piña colada, and where just 30 cottages share one of St. Lucia’s finest beaches. East Winds isn’t trying to be everything to everyone, and we love how this family-owned gem has perfected the art of intimate luxury on 12 acres of meticulously maintained tropical gardens.
The recent 2023-2024 renovation, led by designer Andria Mitsakos, has breathed new life into this Caribbean classic while preserving its authentic soul. Walking through the property feels like discovering a secret garden where over 100 species of plants create natural privacy between cottages.

Cottage Categories That Define Intimacy
The Superior and Deluxe Cottages offer the most space, with the Deluxe featuring those Instagram-worthy sunken showers with garden views that make you question why all bathrooms aren’t designed this way. Standard Cottages provide excellent value while maintaining the property’s signature charm, each with private patios perfect for morning coffee with the hummingbirds.
Every cottage features handcrafted local furniture, marble bathrooms, and those legendary fully-stocked minibars that somehow stay full without you noticing the housekeeping magic happening around you. The cottage layouts maximize privacy through clever garden positioning, ensuring even when the property is full, you’ll rarely see other guests unless you want to.
Dining That Changes Daily
Bird of Paradise Restaurant overlooks the beach with a menu that changes daily based on the freshest local ingredients. Executive Chef creates sophisticated Caribbean cuisine that never feels repetitive, even during longer stays. The Friday beach barbecues have become legendary among returning guests, featuring whole fish grilled over coconut husks and local vegetables picked that morning.
The all-inclusive package here genuinely includes everything worth having: premium spirits, wines with dinner, afternoon tea, and those addictive daily smoothies that somehow make you feel virtuous despite being on vacation. Room service appears without charge, and the kitchen happily accommodates dietary restrictions with advance notice.
Garden Spa Sanctuary
The Garden Spa offers treatments using plants grown on property, where there’s something magical about a massage when your therapist picked the herbs that morning. Treatments take place in secluded garden pavilions or on your private cottage patio, with the sound of rustling palm fronds replacing typical spa music.
Signature treatments incorporate indigenous St. Lucian ingredients like cocoa, coconut, and local spices. The therapists, all locally trained, bring generations of healing knowledge to modern spa techniques, creating an authentically Caribbean wellness experience.
Value and Booking Intelligence
Current rates range from $478-$779 per night for couples, representing exceptional value given the intimate setting and genuine all-inclusive approach. The property offers excellent shoulder season rates, particularly in late spring and early fall when weather remains perfect but crowds disappear.
Island Life Tips: We recommend booking a Deluxe Cottage for the best of both worlds, offering spacious accommodations with those dreamy sunken showers, plus a more secluded garden setting. Request cottage 1 if you’re celebrating something special; its northern position offers maximum privacy. Don’t miss Captain Nico’s Piton cruise, as every single guest we’ve spoken with calls it their trip highlight.

Our Pick for Adults Seeking Sophisticated Tranquility
Perched on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean’s most spectacular sunsets, Calabash Cove has transformed from a family resort into an adults-only haven that gets the balance perfectly right. With just 26 accommodations, this boutique property never feels crowded, yet there’s always a friendly face at the swim-up bar or a dinner companion if you’re traveling solo.
What we love most about the Water’s Edge Cottages is how they represent the pinnacle of Caribbean luxury, featuring Balinese mahogany cottages with private plunge pools positioned directly on the beach.

Sunset Ocean View Junior Suites in the Manor House capture those legendary Caribbean sunsets from elevated positions with private balconies.
Each accommodation includes premium amenities like Jacuzzis, ocean views, and that rare all-inclusive treasure — truly unlimited room service. The limited room count means you’ll recognize fellow guests by day two, creating a close-knit vacation atmosphere perfect for social couples while maintaining privacy when desired.
Unconditional All-Inclusive Dining

3. Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa
Our Genius Pick for Families Who Want it All
Here’s what we consider genius: taking one massive beachfront property and dividing it into two completely different resorts sharing the same facilities. Coconut Bay’s innovative dual-wing concept means honeymooners can sip cocktails by an adults-only pool while families splash in St. Lucia’s largest waterpark just a five-minute walk away. It’s the best of both worlds without any of the compromises.
The recent multimillion-dollar renovation completed in 2025 has elevated every aspect of the resort. Whether you choose the adults-only Harmony wing or the family-friendly Splash side, you’re getting freshly renovated rooms with modern amenities.

The innovative concept allows adults staying in Splash to access Harmony amenities during evening hours, perfect for parents wanting sophisticated dinner experiences after the kids are settled. Both wings share access to all dining and activities, ensuring maximum flexibility.
Nine Restaurants Without Repetition
The property’s nine restaurants mean you could stay two weeks and never repeat a dining experience, though we bet you’ll return to Silk’s Asian fusion at least three times. New additions include dedicated vegan options and enhanced local Creole specialties. The buffet-style Calabash offers themed nights throughout the week, while à la carte venues require reservations.
Fresh renovations have updated all dining venues with modern design and expanded menus. The beachfront venues offer toes-in-sand dining experiences, while elevated restaurants provide ocean views with every meal.
CocoLand Waterpark Wonder
CocoLand Waterpark transforms this resort into something special for families. The lazy river alone stretches over 1,000 feet with waterfalls and hidden grottos, while three different water slides ensure kids of all ages (yes, we mean you too) stay entertained. Multiple pools cater to different ages and energy levels, from quiet adult areas to high-energy family zones.
The waterpark operates year-round with lifeguards and safety equipment, ensuring parents can relax while children explore. Additional activities include mini golf, volleyball courts, and supervised kids’ clubs with age-appropriate programming.
Wellness and Value Proposition
Sanctuary Spa features oceanfront treatment cabanas where the sound of waves enhances every massage. Treatments incorporate local ingredients and traditional Caribbean healing techniques. The spa menu ranges from couple’s massages to solo indulgence sessions, with advance booking recommended during peak seasons.

Our Wellness Sanctuary Where Transformation Happens
“Give us your body for a week, and we’ll give you back your mind” sounds like marketing hyperbole until you experience BodyHoliday’s unique approach to all-inclusive luxury. This isn’t just a resort with a nice spa, but rather what we consider a true wellness destination where your daily spa treatment is as integral to your stay as breakfast. With 155 rooms spread across a secluded beach, the property maintains an intimate feel despite offering more activities than you could experience in a month.
The daily spa treatment inclusion changes everything about how you vacation. Instead of agonizing over whether to splurge on that hot stone massage, you’re deciding between Swedish or aromatherapy, beachside or pavilion setting.

Luxury Oceanfront rooms put you steps from the water with direct beach access, while all accommodations follow the Sleep Programme with noise reduction, air quality control, and pillow menus designed for optimal rest. The absence of televisions (except in penthouses) reinforces the wellness focus.
Six Restaurants for Nourishment
TAO Restaurant has earned recognition for its East-West fusion cuisine in an ocean-facing setting that makes every meal feel special. Cariblue serves buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, along with themed dinners that shouldn’t be missed — particularly Wednesday’s West Indian night with steel band entertainment.
The Wellness Café offers healthy options under seaside almond trees, while Pavilion Grill provides casual grilled options and design-your-own pizzas. All dining venues emphasize fresh, local ingredients prepared with wellness principles in mind.

Dr. Maha provides acupuncture while the Skin Clinic delivers advanced facials using cutting-edge techniques. The variety ensures every guest finds treatments that resonate with their wellness goals, from traditional massage to innovative wellness therapies.

Solo travelers should definitely consider September Solos for the ultimate single-friendly experience with no supplement. The Penthouse Suite with its private hammam and Kinesis gym is worth the splurge for milestone celebrations.

5. Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
Our Most Dramatic Setting for Luxury Lovers
There’s something almost surreal about waking up between two UNESCO World Heritage volcanic peaks, but that’s just Tuesday at Sugar Beach. This Viceroy property occupies what we believe is the most dramatic resort setting in the entire Caribbean: 100 acres of rainforest leading to white sand beaches, all perfectly framed by the towering Pitons. The $100M transformation (completed in 2012) has polished every aspect while maintaining the property’s plantation-era charm.
All 130 accommodations come with butler service, which sounds excessive until your butler draws you a bath scattered with frangipani petals after a long day of snorkeling. The property’s elevation changes mean golf carts are essential, though thankfully, your butler handles all the logistics.

- Rooms: 130 villas and bungalows, all with private plunge pools and butler service

Every accommodation features handcrafted furnishings, marble bathrooms, and those legendary butler services that transform ordinary moments into memories.
Dining Excellence with Dramatic Backdrops
Bonté’s beachfront setting means sand between your toes at lunch and candlelit romance at dinner, with the Pitons providing an unforgettable backdrop to every meal. Saltwood’s sophisticated menu rivals any urban steakhouse, requiring reservations months in advance for sunset tables.
The all-inclusive package includes most activities and dining, though some premium experiences carry supplements, a fair trade-off for this level of luxury. Private dining experiences can be arranged anywhere on the property, from beach picnics to rainforest clearings.
Rainforest Spa Innovation
The Rainforest Spa takes tree-house fantasy to new levels with treatment rooms suspended in the canopy, while a natural stream provides the soundtrack to your massage. Built by local craftsmen using traditional techniques, the spa creates an authentic connection to St. Lucia’s natural beauty.

6. Sandals Grande St. Lucian

These nine architectural marvels feature glass floor panels, outdoor soaking tubs, and over-water hammocks that redefine Caribbean luxury. What we find particularly clever is the resort’s “Stay at 1, Play at 3” concept, which means your 12 on-site restaurants expand to 27 when you include sister properties.
The 311-room property manages to feel both grand and intimate, with distinct neighborhoods creating different vibes. The over-water bungalows book up 12-24 months in advance for good reason, as they’re the only ones in the Eastern Caribbean.

Multiple dive sites accessible from the resort offer varying difficulties and marine life encounters. The dive shop provides all equipment and maintains professional standards that exceed most Caribbean operations.
Peninsula Positioning and Value
The private peninsula location provides both calm and active water options, with the beach choice depending on wind conditions and activity preferences. The extensive facilities and included activities provide excellent value despite the premium positioning.
