Windjammer Landing Resort and Residences
Windjammer Landing Resort & Residences sits on 60-plus acres of hillside above Labrelotte Bay on St. Lucia's northwest coast, with 64,000 square feet of white-sand beach at the bottom. The whitewashed, Mediterranean-village look sets it apart from flat, purpose-built Caribbean resorts, and every room has a view of the sea. Following a recent $40 million transformation, it is Saint Lucia's only member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Six pools step down the slope, and the Hilltop pool villas, Manor Collection suites and Ocean Point Residences each come with a private pool.
Traveler Insights
Pros
- +Private pools come with the Hilltop 2, 3 and 4-bedroom villas, the Manor Collection suites and the Ocean Point Residences, so guests in those categories get their own water on the terrace with no competition for chairs
- +Saint Lucia's only member of The Leading Hotels of the World, following a recent $40 million transformation that refreshed the villas, pools and restaurants
- +Six swimming pools step down the hillside, so families and couples can usually find a quiet one even in high season
- +The Jaquot Kids Club takes ages 4 to 12, babysitting is available for younger children, and the programme of pizza parties, coconut bowling and dance lessons extends to teens
- +A broad dining line-up: Upper Deck steakhouse (newly renovated), Papa Don's Mediterranean trattoria, Dragonfly with The Perch rooftop martini lounge above it, Jammers on the beach, Embers for lunch and Masala, Chef Vikram Singh's modern Indian dinner room at Embers
- +Hummingbird yoga in the hilltop garden is the detail guests remember, alongside aqua aerobics, bocce, cooking classes and evening events like the Carnival beach party and Cabaret night
- +Snorkelling, windsurfing, pedal boats, paddleboards and kayaks are complimentary for everyone, and waterskiing, wakeboarding and kneeboarding are included on the Premium All-Inclusive plan
- +Villas sleep up to 12 with full kitchens and living areas, and every room has a sea view, which makes this one of the easiest places on the island for a multi-generational group to share
Cons
- −The hillside layout means real elevation changes between villas, beach and restaurants; the resort itself warns that varied elevations and uneven paths limit accessibility, though the complimentary shuttle runs 24/7
- −The transfer from Hewanorra International (UVF), where most long-haul flights land, takes about 90 minutes on winding roads; the resort also offers a ferry and private car as alternatives
- −All-inclusive is an optional paid upgrade (the Premium All-Inclusive plan), and guests eating a la carte without it describe the prices as steep for the food quality
- −Diving runs through the on-site PADI centre rather than being a bundled activity, so confirm what your plan covers before you book dives
- −Room service runs 24 hours but adds a $10 delivery fee and costs extra on breakfast-only bookings, and some guests found it slower and narrower than the restaurants
- −Off-property days need transport: Rodney Bay is about 15 minutes away and Castries about 20, with no walkable restaurant strip outside the gate
- −Evening venues have a dress code (trousers or dress shorts, collared shirts and dress shoes for men, no hats), so pack something smarter than beachwear
The villa format defines the stay. Accommodation runs from Oasis guestrooms and Coastline suites up to four-bedroom villas sleeping 12, with full kitchens in the larger categories, so multi-generational families can share one villa and still have privacy. Dining covers Upper Deck steakhouse, Papa Don's Mediterranean, Dragonfly with The Perch rooftop lounge above it, Jammers on the beach, Embers at lunch and Masala's modern Indian dinners. All-inclusive is the optional Premium All-Inclusive plan, which also brings in-villa dining and motorised water sports. The Jaquot Kids Club takes ages 4 to 12, and activities such as hummingbird yoga, cooking classes and complimentary non-motorised water sports go well beyond most St. Lucia resorts. The 24/7 shuttle handles the hills, but expect to ride it.
Windjammer Landing is best for families and groups who value space and activities, and for couples who want a private-pool villa rather than an adults-only hotel. It sits at the luxury end alongside Jade Mountain and Sugar Beach, more active and family-oriented than either. In March 2026 the brand opened La Belle Hélène, a separate 13,000-square-foot, ten-bedroom estate near Soufrière with views of the Pitons; it is on the southwest coast, not at this resort. Hewanorra airport is about 90 minutes away and George F. L. Charles airport about 20, with Rodney Bay and the Gros Islet Friday street party 15 minutes up the road.
