This stylish resort has just over 100 rooms and suites, offering spectacular mountain or ocean views. Each of the newly refurbished villas and suites have a private plunge pool and the suites also feature a separate living room, perfect for families. 18th Century charm combines with modern chic to provide a luxurious style and rooms feature four poster beds with Egyptian cotton linen, Victorian-style claw foot baths and walk-in showers.

When to travel
As with most Caribbean destinations the winter season is the most popular time to visit St Lucia. The very un-winter weather brings the crowds and jacks up the prices, especially during the driest period from December to March. Winter weather is sublime with average high temperatures around 81°F (27°C). Summer is quiet and hot with the July temperatures averaging 85°F (29°C). Hurricane season falls between June and October – expect some more rain this time of year and maybe the odd storm.
