Set upon the tropical island of St. Lucia overlooking the waters of the Caribbean, Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort opened a new, 16,000-square-foot luxury spa and wellness center with great features including water hammocks and herbal therapies of locally harvested ingredients developed by an island naturalist. A wide selection of treatments utilizes local volcanic muds and sea salts.

Try grounding therapies such as the Traveler’s Reprieve or Magnesium Massage, or a scrub with local cacao or papaya. Body treatments include Sweet Slumber with wild lavender, and Ginger Renewable with ginger oil and healing stones. For true indulgence, book a themed retreat such as the Complete Serenity Private After-Hours Spa Experience. The three-hour interlude for couples begins with a choice of treatments including the Wellness Kur Therapy and Massage and concludes with a private candlelight dinner in the spa garden.

Part of the Lesser Antilles chain, the island is known for Gros Piton and Petit Piton, a pair of towering volcanic peaks that guard the bay between the towns of Soufriere and Choiseul. Earn your spa treatments by embarking on a multi-hour hike along the steep paths. At the resort, enjoy activities including water polo, coconut bowling, beach cricket and Caribbean dance classes. Yoga classes include candlelight yoga, paddleboard yoga, floating meditation, sunrise and sunset sessions and full moon yoga.
