Palm trees, beaches, killer rum cocktails – St Lucia is classically Caribbean.
Thick tropical foliage blankets the landscape, while all round the coast,
beautiful beaches are washed by turquoise seas. But there’s more to the
island than sun, sand and surf – if you know where to look.
On the island’s northeast coast, where warm Atlantic waters greet the
Caribbean Sea, Cotton Bay Village overlooks an enormous curve of honey-hued
sand, sheltered by a coral reef teeming with technicolour marine life. It’s
the perfect place for a bespoke holiday experience, whether you want to
indulge yourself with private butler service and fine dining, or have the
flexibility of a self-catering villa – there’s even a deli with a bicycle
delivery service, providing fresh groceries to prepare in your
state-of-the-art kitchen. And this month, we’ve teamed up with Cotton Bay
Village to offer Sunday Times Travel Magazine readers the chance to win a
week’s holiday for two at this luxurious village-style resort.
One lucky winner and a guest will fly direct from Gatwick to St Lucia and be
whisked to Cotton Bay. Here, you’ll spend seven nights in a palatial Coral
Penthouse, with a rooftop sundeck and private whirlpool tub. Wake up at your
leisure for a delicious, freshly prepared à la carte breakfast in the The
Beach Club 14°N 61°W, gazing out at the calm, clear sea. When you’re not
lazing poolside or idling on the beach, visit Heaven, Cotton Bay’s sumptuous
spa. In this serene sanctuary, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the
ultimate pampering treat, with a complimentary couple’s massage and Moroccan
Rasul in the romantic private grotto.
You’ll also have the chance to get to know the island on a spectacular
Sunseeker cruise for two, enabling you to take in St Lucia’s top sights,
including the twin peaks of the iconic Pitons and the world-famous
Soufrières ‘drive-in’ volcano. As the sun slowly sets, peace descends on the
resort – the ideal time for cocktails against a backdrop of dark Caribbean
waters, followed by dinner for two in the laid-back Beach Club or elegant
Piano Piano restaurant, enjoying a mouthwatering fusion of Mediterranean and
Caribbean flavours.
