Windjammer Landing Resort & Residences

Character and identity

Spread across 65 hillside acres above Labrelotte Bay, Windjammer Landing reads as a Mediterranean village transplanted to St Lucia's northwest coast: dozens of terracotta-roofed white stucco buildings tumbling down to a crescent of white sand. A recent $12 million renovation has refreshed the lobby, villas and public spaces with Caribbean-Mediterranean cues, custom Mindi and teak furniture, and ocean-blue accents. The 220 keys are almost all villas, all ocean-facing, ranging from 1,875 to 4,200 square feet. Seven restaurants, five bars, six pools, the Serene Wellness & Spa (with paddleboard and garden yoga), and warm, name-remembering service set the tone.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What defines a stay here is scale and flexibility: villa-sized accommodation with kitchens, seven restaurants and an all-inclusive that lets a family of six eat, cook or order in as the mood takes them. Book an Ocean Point Residence if you want to be on the sand, or a Manor Collection villa with private pool for the view and the seclusion. Worth timing around the quieter shoulder months.
