Cap Maison

Top choice in St Lucia

LoginSave

Privacy, luxury and service are hallmarks of this sanctuary built on a seaside bluff. The elegant Moroccan-Caribbean architecture features suites that are elegantly furnished and decorated. Another draw is the superb Cliff at Cap restaurant (open to nonguests), which has a wonderful sea-view platform for cocktails and cigars. Downside: the nearest beach requires hiking down (and back up) 92 steps.

If your budget permits, try to get one of the spacious suites with rooftop terrace and private pool.
