Just over a year after opening its doors, Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa has been named Caribbean’s Leading New Resort 2026 at the World Travel Awards.

The adults-only, all-inclusive property, which welcomed its first guests in June 2025, has also earned an AAA Four Diamond designation.

“Being named Caribbean’s Leading New Resort just over a year after opening is a tremendous honor, and it belongs to our team, whose warmth and dedication shape every guest’s stay. Saint Lucia has always been one of the world’s most romantic destinations, and we’re proud to bring that spirit to life for couples every day,” said Carleen Isidore, Associate Director of Sales and Marketing, Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa.

The resort is now competing on the global stage, having advanced to the World Travel Awards Grand Final, where it is nominated for World’s Leading New Resort 2026 alongside regional winners from around the world.

Located on Saint Lucia’s northwestern coast, the 355-room resort was the first Secrets Resorts & Spas property to open on the island.

The property offers views of the surrounding mountains and Caribbean Sea, with accommodations that include swim-out rooms and private plunge pools on the ground floor. Preferred Club guests have access to dedicated beach, pool and lounge areas.

Additional amenities include Secrets Spa, which offers hydrotherapy facilities, a sauna, steam room and treatments incorporating local traditions.

Guests can also snorkel directly from the beach or explore nearby attractions, including Pigeon Island, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet and Castries.

The resort's location provides opportunities for travellers to experience Saint Lucia beyond the property, from local dining and nightlife to the island's natural attractions.

Voting is open to travellers and travel industry professionals until October 30 at worldtravelawards.com/vote.
