Where is the Sandals Grande St. Lucian?

Perfectly placed on it’s very own peninsula on the Island’s northwest coast, the Sandals Grande St. Lucian resort is about six miles from St. Lucia’s capital city, Castries. The mile-long peninsula is between Rodney Bay and the historic Pigeon Island National Park.

The resort itself is huge, with five swimming pools (one including a swim-up bar), four whirlpools and a lengthy white sandy beach. Lined with palm trees and saturated with comfy deck chairs, the narrow but long beach was the showstopper of the Sandals Grande Saint Lucian. With crystal clear water and unobstructed views of the vast Caribbean Sea, the resort’s beach is revered as the most beautiful on the island, with the calmest waters.

You can extend your diving experiences to exotic underwater playgrounds at two additional resorts. You can also enjoy the vibrant entertainment that’s changing from night to night at all three resorts. Complimentary round trip transfers between all resorts is included with your stay.
