Small Hotels of St. Lucia

St. Lucia is really two very different experiences on one very unique island.

The northern half of the island centers around Rodney Bay and features hotels and resorts catering to the 'beach, sun and sand' vacation market.  You'll find lots of mid to large-scale, all-inclusive resorts that cover every type of holiday from budget to super-luxury.  These resorts and a few small hotels will remind you of modern resorts on other islands. If you want nightlife, easier driving and more shopping - then Rodney Bay is for you....

In the south, you'll find a completely different attitude. With Soufriere as its center, access is limited by roads that are greatly improved in recent years, but still a challenge for many tourists. Hotels and boutique resorts are small, intimate, eco-sensitive and often family owned and operated. The south has a definite 'old Caribbean' feel where you may not find all the comforts of home... but you'll find the unique culture and friendly people with less influence from the modern world.  Towns are small and without the 'Disneyfication' of so many of today's tourist destinations. You won't find chain hotels, fast food outlets, coffee shops or shopping malls. You will find the amazing Pitons, the sulphur-spewing 'drive-through' volcano (which really does smell like rotten eggs) and the botanical gardens/falls.

Both parts are easily accessible for day trips no matter where you stay - so make sure to experience as much as possible. A day trip where you drive one way and take a boat back is just about the perfect way to experience this amazing Caribbean island.

Recommended small hotels in St. Lucia:

 Anse Chastanet - Soufriere

 

What were Caribbean hotels like before trade winds were replaced by blasts of air conditioning, when morning exercise was a walk on the beach and not hot water aerobics, and when you sat watching the sunset instead of cable TV? You can still find out at Anse Chastanet Resort on St Lucia’s unspoiled southwestern Caribbean coast.

Hillside units designed in harmony with nature, complement the island’s natural beauty which has remained his focal point. 6OO-acre site is a lush garden of tropical foliage bordering one of the island’s best beaches where soft silver sands dip into the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

 Mago Estate Hotel - Soufriere

 

"Mago" is the local St. Lucian word for "Mango" and the hotel sits among the Mango trees at the edge of the rain forest above the town of Soufriere.

Mago has one of the best views of the Pitons from every room - but the open design of many rooms means that noise can be an issue for the eco-rooms and suites when the breeze blows up from town. Especially on weekends when there is a 'party' on the beach with music late into the night... Great if you want to party in your room, but not the peace and quiet you might expect from an eco-resort. Try the 'value rooms' and bring ear plugs - the views from your room and pool are great!
