What’s Special About Ladera

Have you ever dreamed of basking in your own private luxury suite on the side of a lush volcano 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea? For guests at Ladera Resort, that’s just the beginning.

Balancing an eco-conscious philosophy with modern luxury, Ladera is a St. Lucia honeymoon resort stay like no other.

Feeling hungry? Head over to Ladera’s award-winning Dasheene Restaurant, consistently rates as one of the best restaurants in Saint Lucia and beyond.

All-inclusive options, plunge pools, and choice of mountain or sea view available.

Hot Tip As mentioned, each room utilizes an open wall design, affording unparalleled views and maximum breeze. But the amount of breeze does vary from room to room. Temps cool off considerably at night, but if you plan to visit in the warmer months (May – October) and plan to hunker down in the day time, request a room with superior airflow.

What’s Special About Stonefield Villa Resort

Looking for a resort that’s more your own secret hideaway where comfort and luxury are paramount?

Stonefield Villa Resort offers 17 tastefully furnished French colonial style villas, each with its own private pool, set among 27 lush acres on the edge of the Pitons World Heritage site.

Hot Tip Not every Stonefield villa has a Piton view, but if you are planning the ultimate St. Lucia honeymoon, you’ll definitely want one! Expect to pay a bit more and make sure to book well in advance.

What’s Special About East Winds

Leaving behind the southern region of the Pitons and Soufriere, we now head north up the Caribbean coast again to the Gros Islet area for two more amazing properties for a perfect St. Lucia honeymoon.

East Winds Saint Lucia bills itself as Saint Lucia’s original all-inclusive boutique resort and a sumptuous garden-by-the-sea.

What’s Special About Calabash Cove

Looking for the personalized service and family-feel of a boutique luxury stay with the activities and amenities of a large name brand resort?

Calabash Cove is one of a small handful of honeymoon resorts in St. Lucia that delivers just that.

Enjoy whiling away the hours in your comfortable and modern room with all the amenities, each with private deck and ocean views.

Take advantage of this adults-only resort’s picturesque private beach, excellent waterfront restaurant and swim-up bar, full-service spa, and numerous outdoor activities on offer.

Hot Tip For the ultimate St. Lucia honeymoon experience, spring for one of the more private Water’s Edge Cottage with plunge pool (if you can snag one).

Best Time of Year to Book a Honeymoon in St. Lucia

While many travelers will claim there is never a bad time to visit Saint Lucia, the reality is that some months are more ideal for a honeymoon in St. Lucia than others.

If rain and storms are your main concern, late December to early June are generally the best time of year to visit. Plan on enjoying blue skies and little to no rainfall, refreshing sea breezes, and comfortably warm temperatures between the mid-70s to the mid-80s.

The downside, of course, can be higher rates and fewer vacancies. Booking your St. Lucia honeymoon in May or June can bring hotel rates down if you are flexible. However, this may present a problem for those planning a summer wedding.

While cost is certainly a big factor, you may want to avoid booking that “great deal” between July and November in the midst of hurricane season in the Caribbean.

Most travelers get lucky and skirt the big storms. For those who don’t, however, it can be a tremendous setback. When it comes to your honeymoon, you may not want to chance it.

Tips for Booking St. Lucia Honeymoon Resorts

Planning the perfect honeymoon can be a daunting task—but it doesn’t have to be! Here are some of our top tips and recommendations for making the process less stressful and more fun.

• Minimum Stays — Keep in mind that some St. Lucia honeymoon resorts have minimum stay requirements. If there is no availability for the dates you’ve chosen, try adding a day or two on either end.
• Hotel Vibe — It’s a good idea to consider the type of environment you want for your St. Lucia honeymoon. Are you looking forward to kicking back and enjoying your room amenities at a more intimate boutique hotel, or are do you crave the excitement and activities offered by a big resort?
• Airport Transfer Times — Most visitors planning a St. Lucia honeymoon will arrive by air at one of two airports: George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) or Hewanorra Intl. Airport (UVF). Depending on the location of your hotel, you may be in for a long airport transfer. Be sure to check travel times before booking so you know what to expect on arrival.
• Recent Hotel Reviews — We strongly recommend reading the recent reviews from guests to get an idea of what to expect from your stay. Pay special attention to closures, renovations, and recent changes in level of service.
• Book Early! — Many of the best honeymoon resorts in St. Lucia book up well in advance, and prices can rise as availability of less-expensive rooms and suites decrease.

Important Considerations for LGBTQ Travelers to Saint Lucia

As with many destinations in the region, Saint Lucia’s laws and cultural attitudes towards those identifying as LGBTQ aren’t exactly welcoming (but that doesn’t mean your resort won’t be!).

While it is rare for LGBTQ couples visiting Saint Lucia to experience serious problems during their stay, it is important that LGBTQ visitors be aware of Saint Lucian laws and cultural sentiments relevant to their circumstances.

With that said, things do appear to be changing, with the first Castries Gay Pride celebration being held in 2019, and a growing number of top St. Lucia honeymoon resorts building their reputations on catering to LGBTQ visitors.

Along those lines, be sure to check out Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort and Ti Kaye Resort & Spa.
