The welcome on arrival at Calabash Cove in St. Lucia sets the tone for what’s to come for the rest of the stay. Guests are greeted in the beautiful open-air reception space with rum cocktails and hot towels scented with lemongrass. Then, just a few steps down is the beautiful Windsong Restaurant with views over the infinity pool and tropical gardens to the sea.
The resort offers a variety of accommodation options, all with ocean views. The private cottages epitomise luxury, featuring a spacious bedroom, living area and large terrace. Each cottage has a private plunge pool, Jacuzzi, outdoor rain shower and hammock.
Rooms in the main building provide convenient access to amenities like the pool, bar and restaurant. Each has a private balcony or patio. Some rooms even open directly onto the infinity pool, allowing guests to step from their patio right into the water.
The Windsong Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner or you can choose to enjoy a relaxed lunch at the swim-up pool bar. In the evening, the restaurant transforms into a more formal, candlelit venue with live music and a view of the setting sun. The menu is diverse, featuring local St. Lucian dishes alongside daily specials which always include a lobster dish.
For those looking to be truly spoilt, an all-inclusive package is available, covering all meals, wines and spirits, including in-room dining – an enticing option given the hotel’s strong focus on exceptional cuisine.
What truly stands out at this resort is the staff, who consistently deliver professional, friendly and attentive service with a warm smile. Austrian-born owner, Konrad Wagner is a constant, welcoming presence, often greeting guests personally. He tells me that most of his staff have been with him since the resort opened in 2008. Having trained in hotel management in Geneva, Wagner brings the high standards and expertise that Swiss hotel schools are renowned for worldwide, and this is evident in every detail of the guest experience.
