BodyHoliday at LeSport, St Lucia

BodyHoliday Resort in St Lucia is a haven for spa-lovers or those looking for an active vacation. It is one of the few resorts that actually includes spa treatments in it's rates (one massage per person per day)! The BodyHoliday was voted Top Spa in the Caribbean in 2007 and 2008 - perfect for someone who is searching for a spa-focused vacation.



The resort's slogan is "Give us your body for a week and we'll give you back your mind". While this resort offers loads of activities to choose from (including hiking and yoga), you are welcome to do as much, or as little, as you choose. You can partake in the wide variety of options (watersports, golf, spa, aerobics...) or relax on the beach whilst one of the Beach Butlers brings you drink after drink.



BodyHoliday is all-inclusive, meaning that all your meals and drinks are included. You can take all meals in the main dining room if you wish, or there are a number of different options. Breakfast is available by room service, or by buffet, along with lunch at the Cariblue Restaurant. The food here is international but with a Caribbean spin. There is also the Deli, which offers snacks and lighter fare. The most elegant dining option is Tao, which offers Asian-Fusion cuisine. Dinner is by reservation only (some items do have an additional cost).



This resort is recommended for singles, couples and groups. It is probably not the best option for families and children. They are actually trying to target the singles market, by offering special single accommoations and rates. This is a really great option for a girls getaway or a mother-daughter holiday.
