Sun, rum, reggae, picture-perfect beaches, calm, warm waters, snorkelling, friendly locals – there are so many reasons why St Lucia is a winning destination for anything from a family holiday to a memorable honeymoon.
Here’s our guide on how to explore all the wonders this island has to offer while also enjoying a spot of luxury at an all-inclusive resort…
WHERE TO STAY
With villas set on the hillside above a white-sand beach in a sheltered bay, Windjammer Landing is a special occasion holiday resort (playing a game of ‘spot the honeymooners’ proves very fruitful). But it also welcomes families with open arms, and children are very well entertained with swimming, snorkelling and a floating inflatable assault course.
There are water sports available on tap, too. You can go out for a family kayaking trip, hire paddle boards or wind surf (all included), or try your hand at wakeboarding or water skiing.
For an altogether more laid-back experience, there’s a luxe spa, morning yoga classes and hammocks overlooking the ocean, where you can relax with a book or simply soak up the view.
The rooms are villa-style, many with their own private pools, and there’s low-key entertainment, including live music, in the evenings.
