Bel Jou 

A tropical hilltop resort

A relaxing all-inclusive holiday away from the beach but amid lush gardens.

If you prefer a relaxing holiday surrounded by tropical gardens and wildlife rather than the hustle and bustle of larger resorts on the beachfront then this hotel is a great choice. Soak up the serene ambience of the beautifully tended gardens and admire the far-reaching views over Castries to the sea beyond. Friendly staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, and they are one (of many) reasons guests return to this intimate adults-only hotel time and time again.

Why we love Bel Jou

  • The vibe here is peaceful relaxation, but there’s still a choice of activities, from Pilates and dance classes to rum-tasting sessions

  • It may not be on the beachfront (it’s a ten-minute shuttle away), but there are two lovely pools to enjoy

  • Thanks to its hilltop position, the views are impressive, particularly from the ocean-view rooms

  • A welcoming team of staff elevate this simple resort into something memorable
