“Charming cottages (or ‘ti kaye’ in Creole) surrounded by spectacular gardens. The rooms have four poster beds, hammocks, sea views and outdoor showers; some with private plunge pools. Outdoor pool, superb spa and beach access. Excellent fresh St Lucian cuisine and wines. Outstanding service.”

Hotel review

This extremely well-run and idyllic adult-only resort will appeal to those looking for a peaceful, and luxurious, place to stay on St Lucia. The comfortable rooms are well spaced out and accessed via steps and paths through colourful landscaped gardens, which are frequented by butterflies and hummingbirds. Head to the beach via the hotel’s funicular or work up an appetite on the steps. Once there, relax on a four-poster sun lounger, pick up a snorkel at the hotel’s dive shop, explore the coastline in a kayak or relax in a sea hammock. Enjoy a delicious meal at the hotel’s beach-front restaurant or opt for the open-air Kai Manje restaurant, overlooking the sea from above and renowned for its food and wines. All manner of activities can be arranged, from Piton climbs and diving, to sunset sails and wine tastings. The spa is excellent with glorious sea views, a spa pool and treatments, all set to the sound of the lapping waves below.

Ti Kaye, St Lucia: hotel review

Ti Kaye is best suited to 30 and 40 something romantics, whose idea of relaxation is watching hummingbirds in the bougainvillea...
