Whatever accommodations you choose, you’ll find more than enough to do at Sandals Grand St. Lucian, with its four swimming pools, a scuba pool, and exchange privileges at other nearby Sandals resorts.  Take aim in a Bocce Ball contest, play a round or two of tennis, join a beach volleyball game, head out to the golf course, or enjoy classic water sports such as windsurfing, hydrobiking, scuba-diving, waterskiing, snorkeling, sailing, gand more.  By night, take part in various themed events, like “Pirates Night,” “Charity Casino Night,” and various fashion and talent shows, or dine privately at one of the resorts many restaurants before heading out to one of its twelve bars for a night on the town. (And don’t worry if you overindulge – a visit to the luxurious Red Lane Spa in the morning will set you right in no time!)  It’s a holiday, after all;, and Sandals Grande St. Lucian will help you make the most of it!

Other amenities in all accommodations include en-suite facilities, sitting rooms, sun terraces, and balconies.

While there are many resorts on St. Lucia, Calabash Cove, located near Bonne Terre Tropical Gardens and Pigeon Island National Park, offers guests a unique array of activities and experiences — including flights through the rainforests, along the Chatannier trees and above the lush floral garden floors.  Others might wish to take a kind of aerial ride through the forests instead, brushing closer to the birds, wild animals, and delightfully perfumed flowers, or hike the rough trails, with a chance to fly on a zip line through the trees, Tarzan-style.   Other possibilities include whale and dolphin watches, pony treks, helicopter tours, champagne picnics, and dolphin dives – as well as more conventional activities, like golf, tennis, sailing, a fabulous health spa, golf, and more – all available as part of an all-inclusive or European Plan option. 

One of the newest resorts on St. Lucia (it opened in 2008), for travelers wanting something extraordinary and beyond the everyday holiday getaway, Calabash Cove has already won accolades from numerous luxury publications, making it the perfect choice for those looking for something extraordinary, and a holiday to remember.
