Scenic. Serene. Soul-soothing. This is St. Lucia.
Cradled between the Caribbean Sea and lush emerald peaks, St. Lucia is one of those rare places that feels like a deep exhale. Whether you’re craving a romantic escape, solo reset, or low-stress getaway with a touch of luxury, this seven-day itinerary will guide you through the best of the island — with relaxation leading the way.
Where to Stay
St. Lucia is home to some of the Caribbean’s most stunning resorts. For a truly restorative stay, I recommend:
- Jade Mountain – iconic open-air suites with private infinity pools and unobstructed views of the Pitons. Luxury meets nature in the dreamiest way.
- Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort – nestled between the Pitons, with tranquil beachfront villas, a rainforest spa, and powdery white sand.
- Rabot Hotel (by Hotel Chocolat) – perfect for chocolate lovers and those who want to unwind surrounded by cocoa groves and mountain views.
P.S. All of these resorts offer a seamless experience, where you can truly unplug and let the island work its magic.
Your 7-Day Relaxation Itinerary…..
Day 1: Arrival + Beachside Welcome
Land, exhale, and let the tropical air reset your rhythm. After check-in, ease into island life with a beachfront lunch and sunset toes-in-the-sand dinner. Order the rum punch — it’s practically a welcome ritual here.
Day 2: Slow Morning + Spa Afternoon
Sleep in. Journal with a view. Then head to the spa for a signature St. Lucian treatment — think coconut oil massages or volcanic stone therapies. In the evening, enjoy a low-key dinner under the stars at your resort.
Day 3: Snorkeling + Piton Views
Hop on a half-day snorkeling excursion — many depart directly from your resort’s beach. Anse Chastanet and Sugar Beach are teeming with marine life and perfect for beginners. Afterward, relax poolside with a cocktail and a view of the Pitons.
Day 4: Sulphur Springs + Botanical Bliss
Explore the island’s natural wonders with a visit to the Sulphur Springs — the Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano. Take a dip in the mineral-rich mud baths, rinse in warm spring water, and let your skin soak up all the goodness. Pair it with a visit to the Diamond Botanical Gardens for a tranquil stroll among tropical blooms.
Day 5: Free Day for Beach + Leisure
Linger over breakfast. Read in a hammock. Try a short paddleboard session or a scenic nature walk. This day is all about following your own rhythm.
Day 6: Sunset Catamaran Cruise
End your trip with something special: a sunset catamaran cruise along the coast. With champagne in hand and the Pitons fading into the golden horizon, this is a moment you’ll carry with you long after the trip ends.
Day 7: Departure (With a Full Heart)
Enjoy one last island breakfast — maybe some fresh papaya or cassava pancakes — before your private transfer to the airport. If you’re like most of my clients, you’ll already be dreaming of your return…
