HOTEL REVIEW OF WL , ST LUCIA
BY LEILA STOCKER
It was the great Coco Chanel who stated “ luxury must be comfortable , otherwise it is not luxury ” - a motto by which I believe all good hoteliers should work and live .
Last month all our luxury needs were duly met at the world-renowned Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort , the ‘ in-theknow ’ favourite for families visiting the lush Caribbean Island of St Lucia .
St Lucia , approximately 27 miles long and 14 miles wide , boasts waterfalls , drivein volcanoes , sulphur springs and the UNESCO world heritage sanctioned Pitons – the mountains based in Soufriere .
Windjammer Landing is set across a steep incline , sweeping down to a calm crescent-shaped beach . The property has a Mediterranean style , with six swimming pools , a selection of restaurants and bars , an upmarket spa , well-equipped gym with programme of classes , extensive water sports centre ( including Windsurfing , SUP , kayaking , snorkelling and diving ) and active kids club . It has luxury waterfront villas , beachfront suites , hillside bedrooms and individual luxury residences ( largest is up to 2,700 sq ft , catering for 12 guests ) with pools – all with varying views across Labrolette Bay and the Caribbean Sea .
