My Visit to Calabash Cove - St. Lucia


Calabash Cove is a new boutique hotel in St. Lucia. I had the opportunity to visit this little gem on my recent babymoon vacation on the island.

This is the view from the lobby, looking over the restaurant... every table has a view of the turquoise sea:


This shot is looking up at the main lobby & restaurant from the pool deck. The bottom floor rooms, cloaked in greenery, are the hotel's "swim-out" category:


Beneath the main pool deck, but still within easy walking distance of the pool bar, is another level for relaxation and sun bathing:


As we strolled the property, the bright florals of the gardens had our full attention....

 

Stunning! 


This is a shot of the small hotel & beach from the pier:


Isn't this painting lovely? More on this next week - stay tuned! 


We finished our tour with a delicious meal at the hotel's signature restaurant. The menu changes frequently to keep the options fresh:


The watermelon & feta salad drizzled with turmeric oil & balsamic vinegar was to die for:


Lastly, we ended up back at the pool bar where my husband enjoyed a libation and I a lime spritzer to cool us off before we jumped back in the hot car...


Ready to start planning your trip to St. Lucia? We can arrange the full vacation package for you, or you may search for cheap flights on your own and ask us to simply assist with booking your hotel only. If you do search for your own airfare, keep in mind that American Air has some of the best rates to the island.
