Its gorgeous doors haven’t even been flung open yet. But we haven’t let a little detail like that get in the way of us digging around Secrets St. Lucia. Here’s everything we know so far.
Secrets St. Lucia or, to give it its full name, Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa is the latest sparkling hotel on the northwest coast of St Lucia.
Delivering everything you’d expect from the clutch of five-star resorts on this tiny island, wake up to spectacular views of the rugged landscape in the heart of Saint Lucia.

Delicacies from across the world come together with unlimited drinks and 24-hour room service to deliver a truly five-star experience.
Sounds like a treat, right? So, why don’t we take a deeper dive into what to expect from this plush new palace of relaxation before anyone else?
Where is Secrets St. Lucia?
As we touched on earlier, Secrets St Lucia is positioned up in the northwest of the island. More specifically, this new wonderland of luxury is located in Choc Bay, a secluded little town around 10 minutes by car from the bustling capital Castries.
This location makes the resort the perfect location for those who like to mix some adventure in with their beachfront or poolside lounging. Take the chance to spend a couple of days in Castries on your trip and immerse yourself in local culture.
Once in the capital, you can spend one day wandering the colourful central market – tasting the local delicacies or collecting some mementos from your unforgettable trip. Alternatively, you could use this as a chance to discover Vigie Beach – one of the best beaches in Saint Lucia.
Now we know where these fancy new digs are located, let’s step inside, starting with the rooms.
