Best Boutique Hotels in St Lucia

St Lucia is a fabulously beautiful Caribbean island, with all the requisite treasures — white beaches, leafy jungles, majestic peaks, turquoise waters, and plenty of West Indian charm in the markets, beach bars, and lively centres. St Lucia has long been a stalwart of honeymoon brochures, with romantic hotels and resorts dotted all over the island, plus there's a decent share of family-friendly all-inclusive resorts and hotels too. But St Lucia also has a steadily growing collection of boutique hotels and guesthouses. Generally smaller, with a more personalised approach to welcoming guests, St Lucia’s boutique hotels offer the usual individually decorated rooms and suites, and exceptional bar and restaurant facilities, but in this incredible island setting! Many of them have a colonial feel — some because they’ve been converted from heritage homes and buildings — there are some converted sugar plantations in the mix too, as well as more contemporary properties. Definitely worth seeking out, especially if you want to steer clear of the big chain names.
