A Grand Time at Sandals® Grande St. Lucian

By Lauren Ertl | October 17, 2023

In the heart of Gros Islet and surrounded by shimmering turquoise water, Sandals Grande St. Lucian invites you to set off on new adventures beyond powdery white sands.  

All-Inclusive Paradise

At this all-inclusive paradise, your vacation is brimming with boundless opportunities for fun. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and explore a wide array of water sports, from snorkeling to kayaking. You can also, embrace the excitement of land sports such as beach volleyball, tennis, or golf. 

All these activities are sure to whet your appetite, and at Sandals Grande St. Lucian, culinary delights await at every turn. With a remarkable 12 restaurants and six bars scattered throughout the resort, your taste buds are in for a treat. Each eatery offers a diverse menu, from Caribbean specialties to English and Japanese cuisine. Plus, you can savor unlimited premium spirits and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. 

Explore More

Only a few minutes away are the lush foliage and history of Fort Rodney and Pigeon Island, offering hiking trails with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands. The island’s landscape includes rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and lush vegetation, making it a popular destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Spacious Accommodations

Imagine waking up to the warm sun casting its glow over the lush green mountains or to the gentle lull of the water just steps from your door. Sandals Grande St. Lucian offers a range of room types, from garden view suites to over-the-water bungalows. Some room categories include the luxury of unlimited room service (club level), while others provide you with a dedicated butler to cater to your every need. 

Stay at One, Play at Three

In addition to the myriad of pleasures at the resort, you’ll enjoy the privilege of resort-hopping to nearby Sandals Regency La Toc and Sandals Halcyon Beach, effectively giving you the value of three distinct vacations for the price of one. There’s simply no better way to immerse yourself in the beauty of St. Lucia than through the unparalleled experience of a Sandals Resort. 

Celebrate Your Wedding in St. Lucia

What’s it like to have a wedding in St. Lucia? It’s a truly all-inclusive experience. Not only does a team of professionals take care of the details, but also, they help you fulfill all your desires so that you can celebrate your union exactly the way you’ve always dreamed of, whether you envision an intimate ceremony or a celebration with all your loved ones. 

Best of all, the honeymoon begins the moment you say, “Isle do.” For more information, visit Sandals.com, call 1-888-SANDALS or your Travel Advisor.

Hiring a planner for your destination wedding is T Hiring a planner for your destination wedding is TECHNICALLY optional, but if you want to actually enjoy planning (or simply not hate it), it’s pretty much MANDATORY! 😅

They’re Your “Decision Filter” When Pinterest Overwhelms You

They Take the Drama Out of Family Dynamics (Really)

They Know When to Say, “That’s Not Worth Your Stress”

They Turn Vendor Emails Into a One-Line Summary (Bless)

They Make You Feel Like a Guest at Your Own Wedding

They Translate Your Vibe Into a Tangible, Stunning Reality
