The BodyHoliday exists because of an idea that was radical when it launched in the early 1990s and remains genuinely rare today: that a resort could include serious spa treatments, professional wellness programming and near-unlimited sports as standard, within an all-inclusive rate, without becoming either a clinical health centre or a characterless holiday park. More than three decades later, it remains arguably the most distinctive wellness resort in the world.
Located on Cariblue Beach at the northern tip of St Lucia — a secluded crescent of white sand on the island's quieter, less-developed northwest coast — the resort occupies a hillside setting above the Caribbean Sea. With 155 rooms it retains a genuinely boutique feel, and the family ownership that has always defined the property is apparent in the quality and warmth of the staff. Guests return year after year, some dozens of times, which tells you more about the resort than any awards list.
