The Caribbean is one of the best regions in the world for an island adventure, especially for Americans. The Caribbean is so close to the USA, making it the perfect getaway, whether that be for a few days or a few weeks. All-inclusive resorts are a staple in the Caribbean because they come with the ability to pay up front and then not think about the cost while you’re sipping on your piña colada and lounging by the pool. St. Lucia is one of the best islands in the Caribbean, with incredible resorts, lush jungles, and a stunning coast line. Keep reading for a list of the best all-inclusive resorts in St. Lucia!
Where is St. Lucia?
St. Lucia is an island in the eastern part of the Caribbean, in a cluster of islands referred to as the Windward Islands. The island is sandwiched between two other island nations, Martinique and St. Vincent.
Most people who arrive into St. Lucia will fly into Hewanorra International Airport (airport code: UVF). The airport is in the southern part of the island, whereas most resorts are in the northern part of the island, closer to Castries, which is St. Lucia’s capital.
From the USA, you can reach St. Lucia nonstop from airports in New York City, Charlotte, Miami, and Atlanta, as well as some other cities seasonally. From outside of the USA, you can reach St. Lucia nonstop from London, Grenada, Toronto, and Trinidad.
The Best All-Inclusive Resorts in St. Lucia
St. Lucia is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, so it’s no surprise that people are flocking there for a beach getaway. Surprisingly, all-inclusive resorts are most popular in areas like Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic – not places like St. Lucia.
That being said, a common practice in St. Lucia is to have resorts that aren’t all-inclusive by nature, but offer an all-inclusive add-on to your stay. That means, if you want to stay at this resort and don’t want all-inclusive, you don’t have to. But, if you want an all-inclusive experience, you won’t be limited because a lot of resorts offer that as an option.
There will be some resorts in this list that are true all-inclusive resorts, but those are very uncommon here. I’ll be sure to mention if the resorts are strictly all-inclusive or have the option to go all-inclusive. Keep reading to find out the best all-inclusive resorts in St. Lucia!
