Planning a St. Lucia honeymoon or romantic
getaway? Here are the most romantic resorts, restaurants and things to
do for couples.
When it comes to honeymoon destinations, St. Lucia is possibly the most romantic island in the Caribbean. The impressive Pitons rival the romantic landscapes of Tahiti and Hawaii, and dreamy views of the twin peaks are maximized from some of the sexiest hotel rooms ever. Here are our top picks for a St. Lucia honeymoon (or just a romantic getaway) for the best hotels, restaurants and things to do for lovebirds.
Romantic St. Lucia Hotels: Jade Mountain

[post_ads]Hands down the sexiest hotel room award goes to Jade Mountain.
Built and owned by the architectural pioneer of the open wall concept,
each room (or sanctuary, as they are called) leads out to its own
limestone stage where nothing separates you from the view overlooking
Jalousie Bay and the Pitons. It may be a cliché, but this is truly a
room you won’t want to leave on your St Lucia honeymoon.
Have your butler bring you breakfast and eat in your four-poster bed.
Lounge in your private glass-tiled infinity pool where you can see for
miles across the jungle canopy. Feel free to skinny dip — the resort’s
ingenious design means not another soul will spot you two. And if you do
decide to emerge from your sanctuary, book a couple’s massage at Kai en
Ciel Spa or head to sister property Anse Chastanet, where you can use all the amenities.

With the same architect owner as Jade Mountain, the rooms at Anse Chastanet
also capitalize on the open wall concept. The 600-acre tropical estate
not only offers incredible views of the Pitons but also has its own black-sand beach, which is connected to a pristine marine reserve teaming with fish and colorful coral. Snorkel
right off the pier then refresh with a signature Bentley cocktail under
your own tiki hut. End the day dining on local mahi and tuna at the
Indian-Creole fusion Apsara restaurant.
Romantic St. Lucia Hotels: Rendezvous

Once a vast coconut estate, you wouldn’t guess that the all-inclusive Rendezvous boutique hotel
is only a short walk from the center of Castries, St. Lucia’s capital
city. With 7 acres of gardens and a 2-mile stretch of white-sand beach,
the private oasis is only three minutes from George F.L. Charles
Airport. The newly refurbished Beachfront Cottages are perfect for
honeymooners: the charming front porches with gingerbread trim face the
beach and two private loungers on the sand are reserved just for you.
Kayaking, windsurfing and even scuba diving is complimentary at this all-inclusive resort.
Choose from three restaurants and two pools with swim-up bars and, for
something more romantic, you can book a private candlelit dinner right
on the beach.

For adventurous duos, the southern town of Soufriere offers loads of fun
ways to experience the ancient volcanic caldera. Operated by a small
organic farming community, the Tet Paul Nature Trail offers guided
mountains hikes across hills of apricot and cashew trees to summits
overlooking half the island, including those iconic Pitons.
Romantic Things To Do in St. Lucia: Sulphur Springs

After you’ve work up a sweat hiking, head to Sulphur Springs to soak in
the steaming volcanic mud baths and bathe in pools of warm mineral
water. Cover each other from head to toe in volcanic grey mud and sit by
the stream to dry in the sunlight. Your skin will tickle as the mud
hardens and pulls out impurities, leaving your skin as soft as smooth as
a baby’s.

The Jazzy Champagne Sunset Cruise departs once a week from Anse Chastanet. The resorts’
two-story catamaran sails along the dreamy coast at sunset, for a
perfect view of the Pitons during the golden hour. Rum punch and
champagne flow, and a live band provides tunes for dancing on the top
deck.

In the city of Castries, learn about the island’s history at Pigeon
Island National Landmark. Walk along historic pathways of the 44-acre
landmark to Fort Rodney and Signal Peak for panoramic views of the
northwest coastline. Then head back in to town for the head back into
town to the Castries Craft Market to browse local artists’ sculptures,
paintings and madras bags and dresses. Bring home pouches of indigenous
spices, bottles of Chairmen’s Reserve Rum and bars of volcanic mud and
sulphur soap.
Romantic Restaurants in St. Lucia: Dasheene at Ladera

Perched on Paradise Ridge (so close to the Pitons you feel like you could reach out and touch their pointy peaks), Ladera resort
is one of the most romantic spots on the island. Float high above Sugar
Beach at its mountainside open-walled Dasheene restaurant. Dine on
traditional island roti with fresh local dorado, homemade pretzel bread
and cocoa mousse — all while overlooking waterfalls.
Romantic Restaurants in St. Lucia: Orlando’s Restaurant
Tucked into a charming courtyard in Soufriere, Orlando’s Restaurant serves small plates with big gourmet flavors. Chef Orlando Sachell, once the head chef of Ladera’s Dashenee, curates a menu of Caribbean
cuisine using only local ingredients from organic farmers and fishermen.
Snag a table for two to sample salt fish fritters in curry batter,
fruit gazpacho, and yellowfin tuna with watermelon and plantain salsa.
You may also spot (and pet) Orlando’s calico cat, Pretty.

Romantic Restaurants in St. Lucia:
For authentic, local dining, try Petit Peak Restaurant
on Jalousie Bay. Specializing in simple St. Lucian cuisine, dishes
include local ingredients like dasheen, plantain, green fig and roasted
breadfruit. Order the Creole bird seeped in spicy sauce and wash it all
down with a Piton Beer and an amazing sunset view of (you guessed it)
those magical Pitons.
