Top Resorts on St. Lucia

St. Lucia is easily one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, and it is a favorite among honeymooners from all around the globe. The island is blessed with nearly as many man-made wonders as natural ones, including a few picturesque, luxury resorts. Here are the top resorts on St. Lucia.

In Soufriere, you will find the magnificent Anse Chastanet Beach Hotel. With forty-nine rooms and twenty-four suites, the Anse Chastanet Beach Hotel is nothing short of spectacular. Don't be shocked to find that an entire wall of your room opens to a picture postcard view. If you manage to pull yourself away from your room or suite, you can enjoy bicycling on the resort's six hundred-acre estate. Or diving, ocean kayaking, or lounging on one of the resort's two exceptional beaches. Fine dining awaits at either of the resort's two restaurants. The Anse Chastanet Beach Hotel also features fitness classes, a spa, tennis court, and a dive shop. Room service and babysitting is available, but the resort does not allow children under six years of age. There are no televisions in the rooms, no telephones either. Which only enhances the St. Lucia experience, in this author's humble opinion. Visit the Anse Chastanet Beach Hotel online at ansechastanet.com for further information, including room rates and availability.

Another of St. Lucia's top resorts is Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa and Beach Resort. Like most Sandals locations, this resort is popular among couples, particularly honeymooners (some even hold their weddings here). The rooms are luxurious and fabulously appointed. Some offer stunning views of Rodney Bay, others of the Atlantic Ocean. The resort features five magnificent restaurants, a European-style full-service spa, and activities galore. Basketball, billiards, volleyball, shuffleboard, croquet, horseshoes, ping-pong, boating, snorkeling, and windsurfing, to name a few. Perfect for the active couple. By night, guests can choose from four bars and a lively nightclub. This large resort offers 271 rooms and 11 suites. Check the resort out online at sandals.com.
