you ever had a problem finding a holiday destination which suites
the whole family? Somewhere
the children want a beach to kick a ball, make new friends and not
be under close scrutiny every minute and the adults are not too keen
on being lined up in deck chairs, shoulder to shoulder!
Somewhere restaurants cater with tempting meals for children
and for adults with something more sophisticated.
Where there’s a whole choice of water-sports and they
don’t double the cost of your hotel bill.
Days when you can wake and make your own tea, have breakfast
or a light lunch on your own terrace and still have the choice of
four restaurants within a few minutes stroll. Somewhere that the
staff have time to make you feel at home. I have just the place for you!
 Windjammer
Landing is
unlike any other Caribbean resort; it was conceived, designed and
built as a village. Patterned
on the picturesque villages of the Mediterranean, it nestles into a
lush green hillside on St Lucia’s northwest coast. Brick pathways
meander through fifty-five acres of scented landscaped gardens. With
four pools and shops selling your daily provisions you can travel
light. Five star luxury villas and condominiums are painted white,
with pickled wood, hand-painted tiles and tropical casual
furnishings.
For
ultimate family living the villas offer fabulous accommodation, with
large terraces and a plunge pool to cool off.
The landscaping offers complete privacy, but within just a
few minutes walk you can be at the centre of activity.
Because Windjammer is such a safe environment the children
can wander freely and give you more time to relax. A full programme
of youngsters’ activities is on offer and for the more energetic
adults there is a gym and tennis courts. Nearby there is riding and
golf.
 Unlike
neighbouring Barbados, the island has spectacular mountain scenery
with lush rainforests and tropical vegetation.
Waterfalls are in abundance.
A walk in the rainforest is educational for adults as well as
children. Could you
spot the cocoa pods, nutmeg and coffee beans and can you tell the
difference between a banana and a plantain?
Eating
out can be a treat in St Lucia and in recent years the quality of
restaurants has improved. It is still an experience to go local, so
try the roadside barbecue chicken (definitely free range) and a
variety of vegetables as yet unseen in Sainsbury’s. As well as
Creole, the island offers an international selection, from French
and Italian to Chinese cuisine (and many more).
For
a holiday that gives you a real Caribbean experience and truly an
island for everyone, try St Lucia.
Remember too whilst sipping cocktails on the beach as the sun
goes down don’t forget to look out for the green flash!
Windjammer
Landings is operated as a hotel where the privately owned villas are
leased to the hotel when not being personally used by the owners.
Villa 17 is also currently for sale. Enquiries may be made
via info@thegoodmoveguide.com
