Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort

St. Lucia’s Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort is the perfect retreat for couples, honeymooners, families, and any traveler seeking a dramatically-beautiful Caribbean setting and top level. The resort was patterned after the picturesque villages of the Mediterranean. Its stunningly-designed and appointed villas—many with private pools and terraces—are spread among 60 flowering acres on one of most the lush islands in the Caribbean. Here, white-washed, red-roofed villas, secluded from neighbors by magnificent trees and flowering tropical bushes, overlook the white sands and tranquil cobalt blue waters of Labrelotte Bay while brick paths meander through luxuriantly landscaped, scented gardens past sparkling pools and waterfalls. The resort also boasts over 1,500 feet of white sand beaches with a full water sports program plus five swimming pools—including two for children—and an outdoor Jacuzzi.
