A luxury getaway located on the stunning island of Saint Lucia, guests can choose from sailing on the crystal waters of the Caribbean to climbing the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pitons. Located alongside St. Lucia’s Marigot Bay, Marigot Bay Resort and Marina re-opened in December 2014 following an extensive multi- million-dollar renovation. The resort’s 124 guest rooms, which include 57 suites, feature spacious balconies and extensive views of the bay or lush tropical gardens. Many rooms offer private hot tubs, while even more luxury is afforded at the award-winning onsite spa. Inspired by Saint Lucia’s natural environment, the spa uses indigenous ingredients, with signature treatments connected to the phases of the moon. Marigot Bay Marina accommodates some of the most luxurious superyachts in the world, and guests of the resort are able to arrange exclusive charters. A haven for yachts up to 85m, it regularly attracts some of the most impressive vessels chartering the region. With 42 slips and 20 mooring balls, the marina is recognised as being one of the Caribbean’s safest anchorages during the roughest seas. It has recently completed a full upgrade, which includes a new board walk, a redesigned bridge connecting the Marina to the resort, and a lively new restaurant called Hurricane Hole. In terms of comfortable living 124 guest rooms, including 57 suites, are designed with indoor/outdoor fluidity in mind to capitalise on spectacular views of Marigot Bay—described as “the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean” by the novelist James AMichener. In addition, dedicated personal assistants are on hand from the moment of booking to ensure guests get the most from their stay.
