My love for Saint Lucia began in 2016 when we opted for a small wedding and a big honeymoon. During our search for the perfect destination, Saint Lucia stood out.
With its lush rainforests, dramatic Pitons, beautiful beaches, and warm, welcoming culture, the island felt like paradise. Since then, we have returned three times and are already planning our next trip back.

Towering Pitons rise above a landscape of rainforests, waterfalls, and crescent-shaped beaches. Whether you're admiring the view from a private terrace or snorkeling along the coast, Saint Lucia delivers stunning scenery at every turn.
Scenery: Exceptional
A lush, diverse island with mountains, rainforest, and beaches all in one destination.
Mornings begin leisurely with the sound of birds and warm island breezes. You might enjoy breakfast in bed or head down to the beach. Afternoons can be spent floating in your private pool, relaxing on the sand, or taking a guided excursion.
Adventures range from mud baths and waterfall hikes to ATV rides and snorkeling tours. Or, do nothing at all. The rhythm is yours to set.

Floating in your private infinity pool with views of the Pitons is pure magic. With champagne in hand and a starry sky above, it’s one of the most romantic things I have ever experienced.
We always recommend chartering a boat—snorkel in quiet coves, relax on a deserted beach, or enjoy lunch at a waterside cafe. It’s a special way to see more of the island while staying immersed in its beauty.

Depending on your resort, you may be treated to meals that rank among the best I have ever had. One of our favorite properties features a culinary program created by a James Beard Award–winning chef. His bold and imaginative approach to tropical cuisine sets that dining experience apart. Over the years, I have enjoyed many unforgettable meals in Saint Lucia, most made with ingredients grown right on the property.
Other resorts offer a range of dining options, from notable to memorable. What they all have in common is fresh, flavorful food, thoughtful service, and beautiful settings that make each meal feel like something special.

We already have plans to return for our tenth anniversary, and we would love for you to discover what makes this island so special too. Let me help you experience Saint Lucia the way it was meant to be enjoyed: with intention, comfort, and ease.
