After a pleasant flight to St Lucia, we arrive at 2pm local time. We swiftly make our way through passport control and head for our 10 minute transfer to Coconut Bay Resort and Spa. We were greeted upon arrival with a cool towel and a fruit punch, very refreshing after an 8 hour flight! We quickly check in and head to see the rooms that we have for our 2 night stay at Coconut Bay...

I find myself travelling down to London on Virgin Trains the night before my trip to St Lucia. I stopped at the Sofitel which is connected to the North terminal at Gatwick airport the night before to catch my early flight.

I landed in St Lucia feeling fresh and raring to go which was just as well as the transfer up to Cotton Bay Villas (in the Cap Estate) took over 90 minutes on some of the most spectacular (but torturous roads) I’ve ever seen. It was well worth the transfer though when we reached the property, it’s absolutely stunning.
