Couple’s Resorts

You go on honeymoon to spend time as a couple so there’s no better place to do that than at a couple’s resort. You won’t get any kids, families or groups of friends here, just other loved up couples all enjoying the romantic setting of St Lucia.

The Beaches

There’s not a part of St Lucia’s coastline that doesn’t have a gorgeous beach on it but the following are some of the best for enjoying a romantic honeymoon. You’ve got Pigeon Island which is sheltered, picturesque and full of golden sand. There’s Anse Cochon which is unspoilt and backed by rainforest.

Here you can enjoy snorkelling or get a kayak out on to the calm waters. Anse des Pitons is a spectacular location with silver sand, which is imported from Guyana, and uninterrupted views out to the striking Pitons.

All Inclusive Accommodation

St Lucia is the expert in all inclusive resorts. There won’t just be one single buffet to pick at when you’re relaxing at the hotel, instead there will be several restaurants and dining options.

Some all inclusive resorts evenhave their own swim up bars and private beaches. Accommodation ranges from cottage style room to innovative villas that are so convenient that you won’t want for anything.

Natural Beauty

St Lucia isn’t just an island with beautiful beaches, you’ll also find lush rainforests, botanical gardens, waterfalls and sulphur springs dotted around. This island is super proud of all the natural beauty on offer, so much so that there are ongoing conservation efforts to keep the land looking exactly as it is.
