Saint Lucia’s Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort has a new look following a $12 million renovation to the Mediterranean-style 65-acre property owned by Canadian developer EllisDon.
Nestled in the hills of the island's Labrelotte Bay, the resort features 220 guest rooms and villas, ranging from contemporary waterfront villas to beachfront suites steps from the water's edge and charming hillside rooms, each offering views across Labrelotte Bay and the Caribbean Sea.
The renovation project encompassed new additions, including the revitalization of enhanced luxury estate villas, new Ocean Point Residences, a refreshed lobby, an innovative culinary program, and updated accommodations.
The company says the refresh pays homage to Windjammer landing’s origins, bringing a focus back to the serenity of the beach escape and celebrating over 30 years of service since its opening in 1989.
"For over 30 years, St. Lucia's Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort has attracted visitors from around the globe seeking a one-of-a-kind experience. Our high-touch service and Mediterranean meets Caribbean ambiance provide travellers with the best of both worlds," said Nick Prattas, Managing Director.
"Demand for private villa accommodations has almost doubled since the start of the pandemic, and now, with the resurgence of travel, we want to ensure our guests are met with a thoughtful approach to coastal living, serving up the very best from service to style for a trip to remember."
Here are some renovation highlights:
· The resort’s lobby, with high vaulted ceiling beams and an open-air concept, has been re-envisioned as a space where guests can mingle and meet. It features elegant chandeliers, contemporary furniture, marble floors, a new reception area, an ambassador's lounge, and a coffee bar by day/wine bar by night concept.
· Dubbed the Manor Collection, the resort's newly revitalized luxury estate villas feature sweeping views of the cobalt Caribbean Sea perched at the top of the hillside, complete with in-ground pools. Among the collection is 'The Presidential Manor.' Slated to be unveiled later this year, it is the largest villa on-site, at over 4000 sq. ft., and will feature a 45' x 20' swimming pool.
