Top 10 Best Resorts in St. Lucia for 2025

The resort purposely keeps technology out of guest rooms—there are no TVs, phones, or Wi-Fi in the sanctuaries, although these amenities are available in common areas. Each room comes with a dedicated butler, whom they refer to as a "major-domo". They handle everything from dinner reservations to activity planning. The resort is adults-only, making it particularly popular for honeymooners. It's on the pricey side, even by Caribbean standards, but all-inclusive packages help manage costs by covering meals and many activities.

Guests Reviews

Jade Mountain Resort has an impressive 1,307 guest reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a total of 4.8 out of 5 stars. The reviews speak highly of the resort, with guests describing it as "unrivalled Caribbean luxury," and others rave, "Perfection is a place called Jade Mountain."

Previous guests praise the resort's outstanding staff and service, as well as its one-of-a-kind accommodations and impeccable dining experiences. Many reviews mention that the resort is architecturally stunning and that the views of the Pitons are more mesmerizing in person.

The spa treatments take place in wooden cabanas set among the trees, which is a unique experience compared to typical resort spas. While Sugar Beach welcomes families and features a dedicated kids' club, it also offers quieter areas for couples and adults. 

Although it's a slightly pricier option in St. Lucia, the all-inclusive package covers your meals and drinks and provides access to non-motorized water sports, including paddleboarding and kayaking. The convenient location puts you within walking distance of the Gros Piton hiking trail and is a short drive from Sulphur Springs.

Guests Reviews

Sugar Beach has 2,920 reviews on TripAdvisor with a 4.6 out of 5-star rating. Some guests describe the resort as a slice of paradise, with its immaculate cleanliness and romantic atmosphere.

People comment on the excellent snorkeling right off the beach, as well as the attentive yet unobtrusive staff. The food receives high marks across various restaurants, although some note that the prices are steep if you don't opt for the all-inclusive option. Several reviews mention that the hillside layout features stairs with numerous steps, or requires waiting for shuttle rides between your room and the beach or restaurants.

This place takes a different approach to comfort – most rooms don't have air conditioning, but instead rely on ceiling fans and ocean breezes. The resort sits on a marine reserve, making it perfect for snorkelers and divers who want easy access to coral reefs. The hillside placement means you'll climb quite a few stairs daily unless you stay in one of the beachside rooms. During breakfast, you might have local exotic birds join your table – part of the resort's close connection to its natural surroundings. The 600-acre property includes hiking and biking trails if you want to explore beyond the beach.

Guests Reviews

Anse Chastanet Resort has 1,643 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.5-star rating out of 5. A common review description is "a very special place."

Guests often mention feeling well taken care of and relaxed during their stay. The food at the restaurants is highly received, and people claim it's a delicious and well-curated menu that changes nightly (at least at the Treehouse restaurant). People describe the accommodations as spacious, with attractive furnishings, and that special attention is given to the larger outdoor areas. Many reviews note that, although some activities may seem expensive, the quality of dining and the overall cleanliness of the property justify the rates.

The resort isn't directly on a large beach but overlooks a small cove where you can enjoy swimming (or snorkeling!) Its location in Cap Estate puts you about 15 minutes from the restaurants and shops of Rodney Bay, as well as other popular places, such as Pigeon Island, which is an 8-minute drive from the resort.

A shuttle runs to nearby Reduit Beach if you prefer a wider stretch of sand. Executive Chef Craig Jones oversees the food program, which many guests consider a highlight of their stay. The cliff-edge restaurant, The Naked Fisherman, offers sea views during dinner, and the wine cellar stocks over 2,000 delicious bottles. Some of the villa accommodations include private pools, making them ideal options for families or small groups seeking privacy with high-end amenities and ultimate luxury.

Guests Reviews

Cap Maison Resort & Spa has 1,196 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.7-star rating out of 5. Many reviewers title their comments "First class hotel in every way."

Guests mention how the staff go above and beyond to ensure every aspect of their stay is perfect. The meals at both restaurants receive praise for being delicious, with special mention of the views and atmosphere. The reviews describe the well-maintained fitness room, which is kept clean and well-stocked with all the necessary amenities. Guests recommend taking advantage of nearby activities and visiting the Pigeon Island national landmark in St. Lucia.

There is no air conditioning in the rooms; instead, there are only ceiling fans and the natural mountain air. This works for most people, but it's something to consider if you prefer AC. The resort doesn't have its own beach, but it operates a shuttle to Sugar Beach throughout the day at no additional cost. 

The resort restaurant, Dasheene, serves Caribbean cuisine with ingredients sourced from nearby farms and their garden. You'll be climbing quite a few stairs here, as the property is built on various levels along the ridge.

Guests Reviews

Ladera Resort has 2,059 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.7-star rating out of 5. Many reviewers describe it as a "slice of heaven on earth."

Guests mention that the views from their rooms and the resort grounds are breathtaking. The staff and service receive high praise, with comments stating it's the best they've experienced in their travels. Many guests mention that they plan to return and recommend the resort for a quieter, more romantic getaway.

The beach is a half-moon shape, with water that remains relatively calm and ideal for swimming most days. If you want to check out other places to eat or shop, you can drive about 20 minutes to Rodney Bay Village. The kids' club operates for most of the day and offers a range of activities tailored to your child's age. 

There are several on-site dining options, ranging from casual to more upscale choices. You can choose regular room rates or opt for an all-inclusive package; though, keep in mind that the all-inclusive option could be worth it, given the restaurant prices. The resort's shuttle system provides a convenient way to get around, especially as the walking paths can be steep.

Guests Reviews

Windjammer Landing has 4,375 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.5-star rating out of 5. Many reviewers describe it as "Unparalleled family luxury."

Reading through reviews, you'll see comments about the staff who go out of their way to help and make sure that guests enjoy their stay. The villas have been recently updated, so they now have a more modern look compared to the older photos you may see online. Families with kids mention that between the pools, beach, and organized activities, there's enough to keep everyone busy. The main complaint in reviews centers on food and drink prices - almost everyone suggests booking the all-inclusive rate unless you plan to eat most meals away from the resort. 

The main pools are large and busy during peak hours. If you're in the Diamond Club, you get access to a separate pool area that's less crowded and more 'elite'. The beach isn't huge, but it has enough space for the resort guests. Unlike some other St. Lucia beaches, this one has golden rather than black sand. The food options cover standard all-inclusive fare - there's a buffet open for all meals and several specialty restaurants that require reservations. 

Guests Reviews

Royalton Saint Lucia has 5,593 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.2-star rating out of 5. Many reviewers describe it as "A getaway to remember."

Previous guests describe the hotel grounds as well-maintained, and say the accommodations are spacious suites and include everything you need. Despite being a busy resort, it doesn't feel crowded because the facilities and grounds are spread out. The entertainment gets positive mentions, with bands and singers who engage with the crowd to get people dancing and having a good time. The wide range of facilities, numerous options for excursions and day trips, and the friendly staff are commonly mentioned throughout the resort's online reviews. 

The resort has a quieter feel than some of the bigger properties on the island. A natural cove protects the beach, so the water stays relatively calm even when it's windy elsewhere. There are several pool areas scattered throughout the grounds, offering options to avoid crowds. While they offer all-inclusive plans, many guests use their kitchens for breakfast and some meals, then eat at the resort restaurants or in Rodney Bay for others.

Guests Reviews

The Landings Resort & Spa has 1,489 reviews on TripAdvisor with a 4.6 out of 5-star rating. Many reviews share a similar sentiment to this one: "Lots to love about The Landings."

Guests consistently describe the resort as beautiful and relaxing, with breathtaking views. The staff receive high praise for being friendly and going out of their way to be helpful. Many reviews mention the stunning beach with crystal-clear, warm water. The food receives positive comments, although many suggest opting for the all-inclusive option, as restaurant prices are high if you pay as you go. 

A common criticism in reviews concerns the kitchens - while they are huge and fully equipped, there is no on-site market to stock them, requiring a trip to town for groceries. Several reviewers recommend buying groceries on your way from the airport.

The rooms are built to blend into the hillside, featuring wood and stone construction that lends a more rustic feel than other luxury accommodations on the island. Most have open walls on one side, with screens to close them off, and private plunge pools. The rooms don't include air conditioning, which is something to keep in mind if you visit during the hotter months. 

You won't have direct beach access, but the views of the Pitons make up for it, according to most guests. The restaurant focuses on "farm-to-table" food, using ingredients grown on the property or sourced from nearby farmers. It's relatively small compared to other St. Lucia resorts, which means it's quieter with fewer facilities.

Guests Reviews

Rabot Hotel has 863 reviews on TripAdvisor, earning a 4.6-star rating out of 5. Many reviews describe it as a "Beautiful and tranquil resort."

People say that the infinity pool is incredible, offering stunning views of the surroundings. The quiet atmosphere stands out to many guests; there are even "Shhh... Tranquility" signs posted around the property. Food receives mixed comments - many describe it as exceptional, with rich flavors and chocolate-themed desserts. Still, almost everyone mentions that it's expensive unless you opt for the all-inclusive package. Although the beach is a 10-minute shuttle ride away, most guests find it worthwhile to make the trip.

The setup at Serenity is different from most resorts - you get a personal butler who handles everything from unpacking your suitcase (if you want) to arranging dinner reservations or activities. Most guests spend their time either in their private pools or at the main pool area, which tends to stay quiet. People say the main Coconut Bay beach has darker sand and can have stronger waves than beaches on the western side of the island. The all-inclusive package covers premium spirits and wines, 24-hour room service, and meals at multiple restaurants within both Serenity and the main resort.

Guests Reviews

Serenity at Coconut Bay has 1,795 reviews on TripAdvisor with a perfect 5.0 out of 5-star rating. Many reviewers say it's "Worth more than five stars!!!"

Guests say it's the most relaxing place they've ever been. People rave about the food and drinks, describing it as "amazing" and noting the unique and flavorful dishes. There's also mention of the contrast between the "good party vibes at Coconut Bay" and the "relaxing and peaceful vibes at Serenity." The spa experiences and staff friendliness are highlighted throughout many of the guest reviews.
