The 9 Best Beachfront Hotels in St. Lucia
It’s the Caribbean, after all, and vacationers want to enjoy a great beach. As a volcanic island, geologically speaking, St. Lucia’s coast has mainly golden sand—not as dark as on some neighboring volcanic islands but not as powdery white as islands formed of coral or limestone. One exception is Sugar Beach, which has imported white sand that’s occasionally refreshed. These 9 beachfront hotels have very nice beaches, with sand that ranges from white to gold and calm surf that’s easily swimmable.
Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort
Why it made the list
There’s plenty to occupy everyone in the family at this huge hillside resort, but the 1,500-foot beachfront on pretty La Brellotte Bay is always a big draw. The water-sports center has all kinds of equipment: jet skis, kayaks, Hobie Cats, paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, and more. Non-motorized water sports are free; waterskiing, banana-boat rides, and scuba diving cost extra.
Anse Chastanet Resort
Why it made the list
Anse Chastanet overlooks a picturesque strip of dark sand called, of course, Anse Chastanet Beach—home base for divers, snorkelers, swimmers, sunbathers, and boaters. The resort has a busy water-sports center for guests and a major dive shop—and a beachfront restaurant and bar—open to all.
Ti Kaye Resort & Spa
Why it made the list
Anse Cochon Beach, 166 steps down the hillside from Ti Kaye, is a popular snorkeling and swimming stop for boat tours to Soufrière. The bay here is part of the National Marine Reserve. The sand is dark, and the reef is full of fish. Ti Kaye has a dive shop on the beach and a beach bar and grill.
Rendezvous
Why it made the list
Malabar Beach stretches in front of the entire resort, and the soft sand is pretty close to white. Both motorized and non-motorized water sports are complimentary, including scuba diving, waterskiing, and windsurfing—although instruction costs extra. There are kayaks and pedalos, too. Have lunch or a snack at the beachside restaurant.
Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa
Why it made the list
This sprawling beach resort is on a white-sand beach facing the ordinarily rough Atlantic Ocean, but a man-made reef provides a large area for safe swimming. The resort includes a lot of water sports in its all-inclusive rates. Kitesurfing costs extra, but the sport has become so popular that people from all over the island come to this spot, St. Lucia’s windiest, to try it out.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian
Why it made the list
This Sandals was built along a causeway between the mainland and Pigeon Point National Landmark, so the entire strip of land in front of the resort is a beautiful sandy beach. Taking advantage of its beautiful beachfront, the resort has a few over-water accommodations, a full complement of water-sports activities that include scuba diving and boat trips, and plenty of space for sun worshipping, swimming, and beach games.
Royal St. Lucia Resort & Spa
Why it made the list
The Royal lies along a beautiful broad section of Reduit Beach, and all guestrooms face the beach; those on the ground floor have direct beach access. The resort has a water-sports center with all kinds of equipment and instruction available for guests (and non-guests, too).
Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa
Why it made the list
This family-friendly beach resort faces Reduit Beach, a long, broad strand of golden sand considered the island’s finest beach. Just offshore, Splash Island Water Park is an open-water inflatable playground, with a slide, trampoline, monkey bars, and more.
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
Why it made the list
This resort incorporates Sugar Beach, located right between the Pitons and also called Anse des Pitons. This is the beach with imported white sand. That and the breathtaking scenery make this one of the best beachfront properties. In fact, nearby hotels that are not on a beach shuttle guests here for the day. The resort has a full menu of water sports, including a dive shop.
