World Travel Dreams to the West Indies

Last updated on July 27th, 2022 at 04:51 pm

Summer travel Dreams Come True With Luxurious Accommodations at Calabash CoveIn all my world travels, I have not yet been to the West Indies part of the world, but it is on my travel dream bucket list. While checking off another completed travel destination, I decided to look into travel to St Lucia. I figured I’d share what the experts told me all about how to get there from the US, where to stay, and the best things to do.

St. Lucia, West Indies

St Lucia invites you to embrace summer with a getaway to Calabash Cove Resort and Spa at the Bonaire Estate, Marisule, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia–a beguiling beachfront boutique resort located on the Caribbean’s most romantic island.

Beware when escaping to this idyllic island paradise, as it is known for being the number one honeymoon and romance destination, and is consistently named “the Best of the best” by Trip Advisor.

8 airlines are working with Saint Lucia: Air Canada, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and WestJet. When you book directly through the Calabash Cove Travel Agents, you can book flight inclusive packages and this service is global, including anywhere in the USA and from London or Paris in Europe.

Calabash Cove radiates romance with stunning ocean vistas

The Resort

Nestled on a lush, tropical hillside sloping gently toward the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, Calabash Cove radiates romance with stunning ocean vistas, exquisite ambiance, a setting in complete harmony with its exotic natural surroundings, and an exceptional staff that anticipates every need and desire so guests can truly focus on each other.

It’s the perfect setting for couples’ getaways, weddings, and honeymoons, or any occasion best celebrated in a serenely beautiful, intimate setting.

Calabash Coves secluded white sand beach

Calabash Cove’s secluded white sand beach and a custom-designed boardwalk are perfect for a candlelit dinner or romantic sunset stroll.

Each of the resort’s charming accommodations–offered at the lowest rates of the year starting each April–are beautifully appointed, making use of natural materials wherever possible, and offer unparalleled views across the Caribbean Sea from the privacy of your porch or balcony.

Their 1,000-square-foot Waters Edge Cottages, handcrafted teak and mahogany hideaways right on the beach, feature private plunge pools, outdoor rain showers, and hammocks, while their unique Swim-Up Jr.

Suites offer private access to the resort’s infinity-edge pool directly from your patio. Water’s Edge Cottages. Also available are luxurious Sunset Oceanview Jr. Suites with oversized Jacuzzis.

Calabash Cove custom-tailored weddings

A Romantic Wedding Destination

Calabash Cove offers custom-tailored wedding and honeymoon packages, as well as several romance-themed extras for any occasion that you can add to your stay in any of their accommodations, including the Romantic Honeymoon Escapade.

Special add-on packages can include a couples massage at sunset followed by a romantic candlelit beach dinner with your private server with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the sparkling lights of Castries, the island’s capital, along with a decadent chocolate dessert and glass of champagne waiting for you afterward in your room, which is prepared with scattered flower petals candles, and a freshly drawn bubble bath.

During your stay at Calabash Cove, soak up the island’s beauty at the resort — lounging on their secluded, pristine white sand beach or Sweetwaters, their oversized infinity-edge pool, and swim-up bar — or choose from a plethora of land and sea excursions offered through Calabash Cove’s concierge service.

What to do on the Island

Discover each other as you explore the island together and hike to the summit of its landmark Pitons, side-by-side volcanic summits that are designated a World Heritage Site.

Snorkel or sail the Caribbean’s translucent blue

Snorkel or sail the Caribbean’s translucent blue, soak in natural hot springs and mineral baths, cool off under a tropical waterfall, ride a zip-line or aerial tram through a rainforest canopy, stroll through a quaint fishing village, view exotic wildlife like giant turtles, search for ancient petroglyphs, drive into a Sulphur Spring volcano, rock climb, golf–the list goes on and on with activities to suit every desire.

Calabash Cove’s concierge service can help transform your travel dreams into realities with expert assistance in planning excursions and day trips.
