Sun, sea and state-of-the-art accommodations: all are present at the newly-renovated Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort in St. Lucia. The resort recently underwent an impressive multi-million dollar remodeling, resulting in a Mediterranean-meets-modern transformation of its 65 acres. Situated on a crescent-shaped stretch of beach in the picturesque Labrelotte Bay, the resort now boasts an array of new features, including upgraded luxury estate villas, freshly built ocean-view houses and a reconceptualized culinary experience.
The resort’s design blends Caribbean appeal with classic Mediterranean styles, inspired by its hillside location. It features Grecian blues and whites, accompanied by outdoor furnishings of natural rope and rattan furnishings. Both indoors and out, the hotel’s refresh brings the serenity of the beach escape to the forefront.

The redesign comes as the resort celebrates over thirty years of service since its opening in 1989. According to Nick Prattas, the property’s managing director, the addition of individual living spaces positions the resort to fulfill the desires of today's discerning travelers.
“With the increased demand for private villa accommodations, especially during the pandemic, and the resurgence of travel, we want to ensure our guests enjoy a thoughtful coastal living experience, offering the very best in service and style for an unforgettable trip,” Prattas said.
As such, the property has revitalized its luxury estate villas, dubbed the Manor Collection. Situated atop a hill overlooking the Caribbean Sea, these houses offer visitors breathtaking views from a comfortable 4,000+ square feet of space. The Manor Collection features a 45’ by 20’ swimming pool in each villa, as well as ample living space, making it perfect for extended families or groups of friends.
Visitors can also enjoy an entirely new set of cottages, called Ocean Point Residences. Built in a sleek Grecian-inspired style with vaulted ceilings, these two- and three-bedroom villas are beach-facing and luxurious. Each home includes an infinity pool and multiple outdoor terraces, and guests have exclusive access to the Ocean Point Club House, a lounge and check-in area.

The lobby has undergone a grand renovation that aims to enhance the guest check-in experience. Now designed as a space for mingling and socializing, the lobby features an open-air concept, a new reception area and a lounge space. Travelers can enjoy a daytime coffee bar that transitions into a wine bar at night, bringing the heart of the resort to life.
The resort also revamped its culinary scene with upgrades to preexisting dining venues like steakhouse Upper Deck and Jammers, an all-day beachside eatery. The hotel also added a new dinner option, Masala at Embers, which serves authentic Indian cuisine. The property’s signature restaurant, Dragonfly, features a renovated rooftop bar — The Perch by Dragonfly — that offers innovative cocktails and small plates framed by stunning views of the Caribbean Sea. Each of the resort’s restaurants prides itself on supporting local farmers and fishermen, serving only the freshest ingredients.

Other improvements include an upgraded spa, renamed Serene Wellness and Spa to reflect the breadth of balance-restoring services it offers to guests.
Alongside the villa upgrades and new amenities, all remaining accommodations have received design enhancements, ensuring the entire property embodies the resort’s new vision of Caribbean luxury living. Its secluded beachfront location, paired with the resort's top-notch amenities and personalized service, ensures an exclusive and tailor-made experience for every guest. From indulging in culinary delights at the various redesigned restaurants to rejuvenating at the beach or spa, this resort embodies the epitome of luxury and relaxation.
