Unwind like never before in heavenly St Lucia
Take a sunshine break immersed in colourful island magic, where you can enjoy rum, fine dining and relaxation surrounded by lush tropical scenery
There are many different facets to the Caribbean’s character. There’s a vibrant and lively side and the serene side, for a start. St Lucia has the best of both – resort fun in Rodney Bay and the serenity of the highlands around Soufrière. On an all-inclusive British Airways Holidays break to St Lucia, you can devote all your bandwidth to the beaches, seafood suppers and the balmy waters of the Caribbean. This means more time for digging your toes into sugar-soft sands, wandering along flower-perfumed trails, and diving on reefs that teem with parrotfish and sea turtles.
SLIP INTO CARIBBEAN TIME
Spilling onto the fine sands of Malabar Beach, StolenTime by Rendezvous feels less like a resort and more a private estate.
The difference between this and other Caribbean holidays is tangible. It starts with a landscape set within lush tropical gardens bordered by two miles of sunkissed beach. You can be as active as you choose but the focus is on meeting your needs – whether that’s at a spa session or at art or meditation classes on the beach.
After busy (or blissfully inactive) days, the islands’ Creole cuisine, pictured right, takes centre stage after the sun goes down – think fresh lobster, salted cod or pan-fried lambi (conch).
The beachside terrace offers sumptuous buffets at every mealtime, with more formal fine dining at the intimate Thyme Restaurant. Meanwhile, the Terrace Bar overlooks the beach and for night owls, the Champagne Bar stays open until the last guest goes to bed.
REST EASY... OR GET ACTIVE
There is plenty to keep you entertained when you want a break from lounging on the beach – monthly themes span everything from jive dance lessons to cruises and cooking classes.
And when you do exhaust yourself, you can look forward to falling into a king-sized bed in the guest rooms, which offer tasteful touches of the tropics: floral textiles, elegant wooden furniture and seashells dotting the bookshelves, plus swoon-inducing views over the shimmering blue of the bay or the intense green of the gardens.
WELLNESS AND SERENITY
The resort’s lazy river and pools – one by the beach, with a swim-up bar – offer more serene spaces dotted around lush, green grounds. With the adults-only vibe, it’s a great choice for a honeymoon or a group of friends looking for a tropical retreat.
Wellness is a big part of the StolenTime experience – Ayurvedic treatments are the signature offering at the spa, but wellness activities cover everything from yoga to Hawaiian lomi lomi massages.
And if you prefer to get active, land-based sports, motorised water sports and scuba diving are all rolled into the package.
