The Marina Village is able to offer a complete range of shopping services, as well as full provisioning services by advance order, and with direct airlift from London and other international airports, Marigot Bay is within easy reach. The resort’s magnificent setting places guests nearby Saint Lucia’s majestic rainforests and iconic Pitons, providing easy access to activities including water sports, horseback riding, fishing, diving and hiking. Awarded ‘Saint Lucia’s Leading Beach Resort’ by the World Travel Awards in February 2019, Marigot Bay has embraced the accolade by unveiling an exclusive beach menu that affords resort guests a ‘passport’ to explore the island’s most pristine beaches, as well as a renewed spa and wellness programme. The beach menu gives guests easy access to five of Saint Lucia’s finest beaches, each uniquely singular in their experiences for a supplemental resort fee. The beaches include Marigot Bay’s silver Las Bas Beach, the historic beach at Pigeon Island to the north, the lost paradise of Twin Beach, petit Anse Cochon ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and the scenic Anse Mamin in the island’s south west. “We feel it’s only fitting to take our reception of this World Travel Award a step further by rolling out an exclusive beach menu,” said Perle Flavien, director of resort operations. “We were presented with an incredible opportunity to exhibit to travellers just how far our service extends to ensure the optimal guest experience, both on resort property and across the island of Saint Lucia.” In addition to this first-of-its-kind beach menu, the spa village has introduced a revived menu of offerings for travellers seeking on-property relaxation. The spa has expanded its treatments to include more indigenous offerings, inclusive of both local techniques and ingredients, a sampling of which include locally inspired Volcán, Fiksyon Fwotè, Pansè and Bamboo Infusion, four Moon Cycle treatments and new traditional treatments including Sun Recovery, Couple’s Cocoon, Pregnancy Massages and beyond. Additionally, the fitness centre has expanded its schedule to include guided meditation classes, hikes, Pilates, aqua aerobics and a full ‘AbsoLucian’ programme, which comprises an intensive two-hour cardio combination. Together, the entire offering provides the perfect way to celebrate 40 years of island independence for St Lucia in 2019.
