Our Top Tips Regarding Honeymoon Resorts in Saint Lucia
Planning the perfect honeymoon can be a daunting task—but it doesn’t have to be! Here are some of our top tips and recommendations for making the process less stressful and more fun.
- Minimum Stays — Keep in mind that some St. Lucia honeymoon resorts have minimum stay requirements. If there is no availability for the dates you’ve chosen, try adding a day or two on either end.
- Hotel Vibe — It’s a good idea to consider the type of environment you want for your St. Lucia honeymoon. Are you looking forward to kicking back and enjoying your room amenities at a more intimate boutique hotel, or are do you crave the excitement and activities offered by a big resort?
- Airport Transfer Times — Most visitors planning a St. Lucia honeymoon will arrive by air at one of two airports: George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) or Hewanorra Intl. Airport (UVF). Depending on the location of your hotel, you may be in for a long airport transfer. Be sure to check travel times before booking so you know what to expect on arrival.
- Recent Hotel Reviews — We strongly recommend reading the recent reviews from guests to get an idea of what to expect from your stay. Pay special attention to closures, renovations, and recent changes in level of service.
- Book Early! — Many of the best honeymoon resorts in St. Lucia book up well in advance, and prices can rise as availability of less-expensive rooms and suites decrease.
Best Time of Year to Book a St. Lucia Honeymoon
Many regular and repeat visitors will say there’s never a bad time to visit St. Lucia, so long as you’ve got good trip insurance.
But the reality is that some months are just more ideal for visiting the island, particularly if you’re planning the perfect St. Lucia honeymoon.
If weather is your main concern, late December to early June are almost certain to tick that box. Expect ample opportunities to enjoy blue skies with little rainfall, refreshing sea breezes, and temps ranging from mid-70s to mid-80s.
The downside? Cost. Visiting in May or June may bring nightly rates down a bit if you have flexibility on your side. Unfortunately, there are often far more considerations that must be weighed when nailing down the date of your honeymoon.
While cost is certainly important, you may want to avoid booking a “great deal” between July and November, as this is storm season for St. Lucia and the rest of the Caribbean.
You could get lucky, but you could also get very unlucky. When it comes to your honeymoon, you may not want to chance it.
Important Considerations for LGBTQ Travelers to Saint Lucia
As with many destinations in the region, Saint Lucia’s laws and cultural attitudes towards those identifying as LGBTQ aren’t exactly welcoming (but that doesn’t mean your resort won’t be!).
While it is rare for LGBTQ couples visiting Saint Lucia to experience serious problems during their stay, it is important that LGBTQ visitors be aware of Saint Lucian laws and cultural sentiments relevant to their circumstances.
With that said, things do appear to be changing, with the first Castries Gay Pride celebration being held in 2019, and a growing number of top St. Lucia honeymoon resorts building their reputations on catering to LGBTQ visitors.
Along those lines, be sure to check out Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort and Ti Kaye Resort & Spa.
