Resort at a Glance: Marigot Beach Club & Dive Resort

Tucked away in a secluded spot on Saint Lucia that’s only reachable by boat, Marigot Beach Club & Dive Resort boasts the perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating respite from modern life: rainforest-lined hillsides, white-sand beaches, and mangroves flush with tropical wildlife. The sounds of tree frogs, cicadas, and the relaxed sighs of fellow travelers fill the soundscape as you sip on an exotic cocktail or watch the sun dip below the Caribbean Sea from your private veranda.

• Firefly studios are perched on a hillside and offer full kitchens and views of the water. 
• Deluxe beachfront studios have four-poster beds and kitchenettes and look directly onto the palm-tree-studded beach. 
• Cool off in the freshwater swimming pool. 
• Pamper yourself with a massage, facial, or mani-pedi at the spa and wellness center. 
• Meet the local aquatic life by making use of the PADI-certified dive center or going snorkeling in Marigot Bay. 
• Meal plans with select options include daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the onsite Doolittle’s Restaurant and Bar. 
• Hike, bike, or zipline through St. Lucia’s tropical terrain at Ultimate Treetop Adventures, a 35-acre slice of rainforest about a 30-minute drive away.

Saint Lucia: French-Inspired Cuisine and Spectacular Volcanoes

Located in between Martinique and Saint Vincent in the eastern Caribbean, Saint Lucia was coveted by the British and French, who quarreled over the island for more than a century. Although English is now Saint Lucia’s official language, the French seem to have left a more noticeable influence on its arts and cuisine. Along the coast, a string of marinas exhibits a cultural blend through restaurants ranging from fried-fish shacks to upscale French eateries. Grab a table to sample meaty pepperpot stew, spinach-like callaloo soup, or the country’s national dish of green fig—a Caribbean term for small, unripe bananas—and salt fish.

With several beaches, Saint Lucia attracts those looking for snorkeling excursions, dolphin-watching tours, or deep-sea fishing trips in search of blue marlin, barracuda, and mako shark. Crowds descend on the popular Reduit Beach at Rodney Bay, not too far from the 18th-century British forts at Pigeon Island National Park. For a less hectic scene, head south down the coast to Anse Chastanet, a more secluded beach with giant palm trees and undulating green hills.

A vacation in Saint Lucia is not complete without a visit to one of its volcanoes. Considered the country’s unofficial symbol, the Pitons are two vegetation-covered volcanic plugs rising more than 2,000 feet above the western coast. Nearby Saint Lucia Volcano is considered “the world’s only drive-in volcano,” as you can drive your car close to the volcanic crater to see its steaming sulfur springs.
