Cap Estate Holidays

Cap Estate, a northern sweep of sand in central St Lucia, offers travellers everything from local beach adventures to urban culture tours via Gros Islet and Castries. Dotted with British and French historical landmarks, modern eateries and room to stretch on the shore, there's plenty to fill your days here.

Blissful days start here. Grab a massage and a meal at the local resort spa, or engage in the game of kings with the local golf course right on your doorstep. For a souvenir that keeps on giving, sign up for some Caribbean cooking lessons at the spice studio.

The key word at Cap is variety. A five-minute taxi ride takes you to Pigeon Island Beach, where you can relax and enjoy sunbathing – local restaurants will take care of lunch. Or, drive the same distance to east Gros Islet for beachside horseriding and watersports galore.

Acclaimed Rodney Bay and the shores of Reduit beach are only 10 minutes' drive away, featuring golden sands and speedboat charters as well as a huge shopping complex. The island's capital is a 30-minute drive south, where you'll get staggering views of from Morne Fortuna and a local marketplace selling juicy tropical fruits.
