Mountainous and verdant St Lucia has a handful of exclusive, high-end hotels — with more to follow as the island’s hotels upgrade — yet sometimes simplicity is the key.
And with all-inclusive holidays set to be a key element of family holidays this year, that’s another reason to consider the four-star Smugglers Cove Resort & Spa, a village-style resort set on a secluded bay on the Cap Estate, a former sugar plantation on the northern tip of the island.
Villas are set among acres of tropical gardens or overlooking Smugglers Cove itself. The new Namaste Spa, situated near the beach, will offer British spa and skincare brand Elemis treatments in the treatment rooms, on the beach or under a beachside gazebo. Seven pools, five bars and free water sports complete the relaxed vibe.
Seven nights at Smugglers Cove Resort & Spa from £1,173pp all-inclusive, with scheduled economy flights with British Airways from Gatwick, transfers and all applicable taxes and fuel surcharges. Departs on March 5, ba.com
