For centuries, St. Lucia's Marigot Bay has been a sheltering haven for ships plying the Caribbean. Now, the Marigot Bay Hotel provides a luxurious sanctuary for sailors and landlubbers alike.
While the setting itself is gorgeous, this boutique resort is much more than just a photo op. The rooms and suites are strikingly modern, with slate-tiled bathrooms and fully-equipped kitchens to start your days in style, and king-size beds and in-room Jacuzzis for long evenings of romance.
If you did arrive by sea, the marina will come in handy. But even if you didn't, it provides a scenic vista to enjoy over fresh lobster at the dockside French colonial-style Boudreau Restaurant. And, for a relaxing after-dinner indulgence, Lapli Spa's outdoor treatment cabanas are the perfect place for a massage while taking in the five-star view.
Of course, you'll want to play in the Caribbean. Snorkel, dive, surf - or simply float in the warm waters of Marigot Bay and gaze at the azure sky.
