St. Lucia has some of the most unique landscapes in the Caribbean. From the pointy volcanic peaks to mineral-soaked waterfalls, this island will have you saying “ooh” and “ah” around every corner. Sandals also realized St. Lucia’s beauty and placed three St. Lucia Sandals resorts on the island.

When to go to St. Lucia Sandals Resorts
April to June are the best times to visit St. Lucia Sandals resorts. The weather won’t be too hot yet, and you haven’t quite hit the rainy season yet, which is from June to November. It is also right at the end of the tourist season, spanning from December to April. That way, you won’t have to worry about too much of a crowd and can have your fair pick of accommodations.
Which St. Lucia Sandals Resort is Right for You?
Overall, the Sandals Grande St. Lucian is the best pick. It is their largest resort in St. Lucia and has everything you need on-site. They are in a great location on their own peninsula in one of the prettiest bays of St. Lucia. I am also a sucker for overwater bungalows, so I would have to go with this one.
If you are looking for more seclusion and want a super luxurious experience, Sandals Regency La Toc is a much better choice. Plus, this resort is closer to some of the most incredible things to see in St. Lucia, like The Pitons. However, the accommodations and amenities will have you so sucked in that you may not want to leave.
Sandals Halcyon Beach is best if you love pools and a tropical garden over the ocean. You will still have a beach and all the water activities your heart desires, but the pools and gardens stand out here. This resort also has the best spa out of all the resorts. This is definitely the resort for those looking for some relaxation and tranquility.
