Discovery at Marigot Bay

St. Lucia's dramatic mountain scenery, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, mineral hot springs and golden beaches make it one of the loveliest islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Marigot Bay was for hundreds of years a hideout for pirates and also the scene of a historic sea battle but, more recently, its steep, forested hillsides and hidden anchorage have made it a popular location for travelers, sailing enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

Discovery at Marigot Bay has 57 luxurious suites and 35 rooms carved into the green tropical hillside. The balconies overlook the yachts in the harbor and the charming Marina Village. The famous Labas beach is just a two minute ferry ride away.

The welcoming grey stone walls and tropical hardwood fbuildings blend into the landscape, contrasting beautifully with the cool, modern interiors.

Discovery's lush gardens set the scene, planted with exotic, scented blossoms and designed to provide a habitat for butterflies and humming birds as well as shady walkways for strolling.

The minimalist, uncluttered bedrooms have luxurious king-size beds, romantic nets and fabulous bedrooms with long slate vanities and drench showers. There's also plenty of veranda space for chilling out and watching the boats sailing into the bay.

The colonial style Boudreau restaurant is the perfect venue for breakfast, long lunches and intimate dinners while Hurrican Hole, one of the most famous bars in the Caribbean, serves drinks and bar meals throughout the day.

"Lapli", means both rain and blessings in Creole, the perfect name for a spa offering a choice of indoor treatments or outdoor massage cabanas and ofuru soaking tubs. Guests can choose from glamorous international Espa products or freshly amde local oil and fruit massages and scrubs as well as manicures and pedicures.

Discovery is a heaven of tranquillity, but for guests who want to do more than lie under a palm tree on the nearby beach or read a novel by one of the pools there are Tai Chi, Yoga and Meditation and special mind and boy programs as well as live music and entertainment at the lively bars and Creole restuarants around the bay. There are also great shopping opportunities at the Marina Village with its sophisticated boutiques, art gallery and bookshop as well as a bakery, bank, supermarket, doctor's office and pharmacy.

St. Lucia is a magical island and Marigot is ideally located for visiting the mountains, rainforests and waterfalls in the south, or the bars, nightclubs and restaurants in the North. Every activity under the sun or the stars is happening somewhere, from kite surfing to turtle watching.
