  Wondeful boutique resort on Saint Lucia

  We stayed at Villa Beach Cottages five times and already booked our sixth stay for the 2026/2027 season. The reason is simple - you pay 3-start resort prices for the 5-star service and location. The island of Santa Lucia is volcanic and very mountainous, with a lot of steep hills and high, sharp, vertical banks. It does not have a lot of good sandy beaches. The Choko Bay is an exception, and Villa Beach Cottages has a nice piece of sandy beach. The resort is located in the Choko Bay, about 20 minutes drive from Castries - the capital of the island. The bay is known for being quiet, less crowded, and offering great sunset views. For us the most important feature of the resort was its closeness to the ocean. While other resorts have to use buses to bring people to the ocean, if you stay at Villa Beach Cottages you need to walk not more than 10 - 15 feet to get into the water. For swimming lovers Choko Bay is like a paradise - you can swim hours in one direction without encountering undercurrent or big waves. It is rather shallow - about 10–15 feet deep, it does not have any jelly fish or other nasty ocean creatures. The sun on Santa Lucia is quite soft comparing with other Caribbean islands like Aruba or Curaçao. The water is soft as well and does not require fresh water shower after the swimming in the ocean. The two-stories cottages are very convenient, the units are well-equipped with AC and all cooking amenities, microwave and refrigerator, so you could save a lot of money by cooking yourself. In 10 minutes you can walk to the next supermarket to get all you need for cooking a decent meal. Units have large terraces where you can sit and watch a beautiful sunset and the cruise ships that leaving the island. The personnel is very friendly and helpful, all problems are solved almost immediately. For example, the burned light bulb in the refrigerator was replaced in 10 minutes. The cottages surrounded by meticulously kept tropical flowers and kept in immaculate condition - everything is freshly painted and clean. However, you have to reserve it well in advance. Last year we did it in April for the December/January high season and could not get our usual room. It is quite competitive place, so do not put off your reservation!

  Wonderful Stay at Villa Beach Cottages

  We had a lovely stay at Villa Beach Cottages during our holiday in Saint Lucia. The property is beautifully located right on the beach, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that made our trip truly special. The cottages were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We especially appreciated the quiet beachfront setting and the easy access to the beach—it was perfect for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of the island. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we would happily recommend Villa Beach Cottages to anyone looking for a calm, charming place to stay in Saint Lucia. We would definitely consider staying here again.

  Heaven on Earth

  My family and I have stayed at Villa Beach three times and we intend a fourth visit. This wonderful boutique hotel with it's warm and friendly team feel more like family. You are greeted with a smile and a hug that melts the months between visits. Nothing is too much for them and they are wonderfully helpful. In fact, it doesn't feel like a hotel but instead it feels like staying with your best friends. The rooms are large and very, very comfortable - It feels like your own slice of happiness. They are very tidy and the grounds are immaculate. In the evening you can sit on the balcony and watch a magnificent sunset and when the sun begins to go down, you can watch the cruise ships, lit up in their glory sail into the sunset. The restaurant and bar overlook the sea and the food is delicious. It is good, decent home cooked St. Lucian food that will satisfy the soul. But if you want to cook yourself, the rooms come with a kitchen and the property comes with it's own shop (Very useful when you run out of beer). The pool is nice and quiet where you can work on your tan and then take a dip to cool off. The pool isn't deep and it's great to cool off in. As for the beach - It's the kind of beach that you imagine Ursula Andress ("Dr.No.") coming out of and shaking her hair. The beach is immediately accessible and it's fun to ride the waves into shore. It's a beautiful bay without the normal tourist hustle and bustle. Villa Beach truly is a jewel in the crown of St, Lucia. It is also such good value for money - you get 5 star service for 3 star prices! I'm 53 and I've travelled extensively in my life and in my opinion Villa Beach is the best place I have ever stayed.

  FANTASTIC!

  Our family of 6 stayed at Villa Beach Cottages for the second week of our holiday (first part at La Dauphine Estate). We absolutely loved it, Colin and the team were fantastic and were always so helpful. The rooms are spacious, beds super comfortable and the views from pretty much everywhere on the property are beautiful! It's also a great location from which to explore all the main attractions in the North of the island. The team clearly work hard to keep everything immaculate and a special shout out to the chefs in the kitchen. We ate at some great restaurants in St Lucia but I would say the food at the restaurant is right up there, so full of flavour! You are literally a few metres from the sea here, a perfect spot to relax with a Piton Beer or Rum Punch whilst the kids played in the waves :) Don't think I have ever taken so many pictures of sunsets but it's hard not to, you have to see it to believe it. Hope I am lucky enough to return one day!

  Great Option for St Lucia!

  We stayed (as a family) at Villa Beach Cottages over the Christmas holiday 2025. We very much enjoyed our stay there. We got the 2 bedroom, 2 bath villa. It was roomy and well equipped. Large bedrooms, living room, full kitchen, and dining area. It also had a nice patio (facing the water) which was quite enjoyable to have breakfast/coffee/read. It has a restaurant on site (serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner), plenty of beach chairs, and a beautiful beach directly off the hotel. There is also a nice walking beach right next to the property. What truly makes the hotel speical is the staff and owner. The staff is amazing. They are so kind and make you feel so welcome. I noticed a lot of people seemed to be returning customers and I see why. Kenisa (and the rest of the front desk staff ) can help you with anything you need. They helped us immensely with organizing tours, making dinner reservations, and securing taxis for us. We did not rent a car on the island so their guidance and help was greatly appreciated. Colin, the owner has many great recommendations on what to do on and where to eat on the island. They will also purchase food for you and have it waiting at your room when you arrive. Two of their regular taxi drivers (Claudius Amedee and Synesius Bicette) were both great. Really enjoyed both of them. Claudius took us on the longer tours and was so knowledgeable about the island. The property had a small, family vibe to it and we really enjoyed our stay there!
