Opened in June 2025 as the first Secrets Resorts & Spas property in Saint Lucia, the 355-room resort brings the brand’s Unlimited-Luxury® experience to the island’s northwestern coast. A few highlights that helped make the property stand out include:

• A distinctly Saint Lucian setting: Island-inspired rooms and suites overlook surrounding mountains, Caribbean sunsets and volcanic beaches, while the resort’s location offers easy access to Pigeon Island, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet and Castries.
• Accommodations designed for an elevated escape: Every ground-floor room features either swim-out access or a private plunge pool, with Preferred Club guests gaining access to dedicated beach, pool and lounge areas.
• Wellness with a sense of place: Secrets Spa combines modern and indigenous treatments with a hydrotherapy circuit, sauna and steam room.

• The best of resort and destination: Guests can snorkel directly from the beach or venture beyond the property to experience Saint Lucia’s culture, cuisine, nightlife and natural beauty, combining the ease of an all-inclusive with opportunities to explore the island.
