Luscious, bright green forest-clad mountains, sparkling azure blue waters, unforgetting sunsets and sunrisesÂ… St Lucia is naturally beautiful. It comes as no surprise, then, that this gorgeous island is full of lavish hotels and resorts, all paving the path to a spectacular luxury holiday. From personalised butlers and drinks zip-lined to your table, to lovely open-wall rooms overlooking the ocean, here are five of the best luxury hotels in St Lucia. Capella Marigot Bay The scene: This attractive hotel has a unique location along the western coast of St Lucia. Nestled a little way south of Castries City, the hotel overlooks the charming marina villa at Marigot Bay, with gorgeous marina views and a backdrop of luscious mountain.

Capella Marigot Bay marina The sleep: The 124 rooms and suites here are spacious and luxurious, creating an opulent vibe with the dark woods, modern amenities and billowy four poster beds. The starting room type – the Resort View Room – has gorgeous views of the garden, whilst the most luxurious Penthouse Suites come with one, two or three bedrooms, plus a separate lounge and wonderful views over the Bay. For the most spectacular views, weÂ’d recommend booking a Bay View Room or Suite. Rooms #1. The stay: Surrounded by lush vegetation and a picturesque marina village, the ambience here is luxurious and tranquil, perfect for those looking to indulge in a private and secluded holiday experience. Days can be spent doing as little or as much as you like, either sunning yourself by the infinity pool, or enjoying a cooking class and customised spa treatments.
