Few places in the world can compete with the beauty and social atmosphere offered in the Caribbean. With its white beaches, clear water, vibrant sea life and luxurious resorts, there’s little need to look further to see why so many people spend their holidays in the area. And a favorite spot to stop is the volcanic island of St. Lucia, situated south of Martinique, which is a small island with a big taste for adventure. With its own drive-in volcano and Les Pitons mountains, there’s plenty to do for anyone on vacation, whether you prefer to relax on the beach, hike through the wildlife or visit the botanical gardens and Diamond Falls. But many visitors to the island prefer to get “the whole package” while they stay, which is why St. Lucia all-inclusive resorts are sprinkled throughout the quarters of Soufriere, Gros Islet, Marigot Bay, Vieux Fort and Castries.
Top Resorts
1. Sandals: With three resorts located in Castries, St. Lucia, Sandals is a popular way for couples and families to get the most out of the vacation.
? Sandals Grande St. Lucian: There’s never a need to worry that you won’t have a view of the beach as this is the only resort that is situated on a peninsula with the Caribbean Sea on both sides, offering stunning views for all guests. The British architecture creates a picturesque lobby for cocktails against a stunning backdrop of the mountains. Guests can venture into the sea to enjoy the dive reef or make waves in one of the five freshwater pools or the swim-up bar. The calm Caribbean waters make this a picture-perfect St. Lucia, all-inclusive spot.

Sandals La Toc: The 210-acres of estate feature any vacationer’s dream – emerald waters lining the crescent beach, fairways rolling next to rainforests, villas sitting atop bluffs with private butlers, and eight exquisite restaurants to entice your appetite. Living large and glamorous is easy as can be at Sandals La Toc.
