Majestic twin peaks rise above a stunning patchwork of emerald mountains, pristine valleys, banana plantations, winding roads, resplendent rain forest, and old-fashioned fishing villages. Out at sea, brightly painted skiffs bob and beckon as you dip your toes from white-sand, black-sand, and golden-sand beaches. Sound like a dream? Sounds like … St. Lucia.

Set between the iconic Pitons, this resort overlooks Jalousie Bay and a secluded white-sand beach. Try your hand—er—fins at snorkeling, fishing, scuba diving, and water skiing. Still want a workout? Fitness facilities are right on site. When you’re ready to relax, a full-service spa awaits, plus four restaurants, and a bar. Or dine in, á la room service. Find out more...

Book a cruise and snorkeling tour along St. Lucia’s west coast, where you’ll also visit the colorful residents of a nearby marine park. Break for lunch, then splash off, again. Make a note: The best beaches lie between Castries and Gros Islet, to the north. Cap off the day with a sunset stroll, and, if you’re in town on a Friday night, “jump up” at the fish fest in Anse La Raye.
