Bridal

Nestled on St Lucia’s scenic west coast, Marigot Bay’s crystal waters and lush leafy hillsides have made it one of the most romantic destinations in the world. This idyllic bay, described as ‘the most beautiful in the Caribbean’ by novelist James A Michener, and home to many a celebrity villa, is the ideal setting for weddings. Discovery at Marigot Bay, opened in late 2006 and a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World’ enchants guests with 57 one, two and three bedroom suites carved into the hillside with dramatic views of the sea and beautiful yachts in the bay below. The interiors are a stylish combination of contemporary chic, state of the art fittings and Caribbean pizzazz.

Spacious and replete with unpretentious luxury, each suite boasts 300 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, romantic voile draping, flat screen televisions, Bose surround sound music systems, walk in drench showers and fully fitted Italian designed kitchens. Add to that, the fact that half of them have a private Jacuzzi and you may never want to leave your suite.

However there’s plenty to tempt you including fine dining by candlelight at The Boudreau or champagne cocktails and a touch of sophistication at the Dr Dolittle themed Pink Snail Bar. Private candlelit dinners can be arranged in the resort’s romantic treehouse surrounded by palm fronds. Enjoy a relaxing couples’ massage at the world class Lapli Spa or a soak in one of Discovery’s ofuru wooden soaking tubs tucked at the edge of the Zen gardens. Couples can ride on horseback along the beach at sunset or spend the day about a luxury yacht.

Seven night honeymoons cost from £1,101pp in a resort view room with continental breakfast, private transfers, the use of a private lounge at the airport and flights. The romance package includes a bottle of champagne on arrival, beach sunset horseback riding, an intimate 3-course dinner in the Treehouse, a one-hour couple’s massage and a half-day luxury cruise.
