Exterior View of Calabash Cove

COASTLINE of north-west St Lucia , the five-star Calabash Resort

& Spa Hotel has just 26 rooms . The infinity pool and main buildings are sheltered on one side by rich tropical vegetation , and look out across the sea , just feet away , on the other . The main pool is the focal point of the resort ; an irregular shape to accommodate for the Swim-Up Bar and the private steps belonging to each of the Swim-Up Junior Suites . The pool terrace provides some of the resort ’ s best views , as the pathways and lawns slope away to the seafront accommodation below . The Sunset Ocean View Junior Suites are housed in the main hotel building and capture the most extensive panoramas , from the lapping waves below to the bays , beaches , and hills opposite . Down on the seafront are the Water ’ s Edge Cottages , which have the most Caribbean flavour in their abundance of wood and warm colours . Their decked terraces sit just a stone ’ s throw from the water , and open out onto a small plunge pool . All room types combine spaciousness with a sense of seclusion , peace and quiet that comes with being at an adults-only hotel . At lunchtime , choose from a selection of fresh , light , Caribbean dishes at the Swim-Up Pool Bar , complete with sea-view deck . In the evenings ( though also open at breakfast and lunch ), dine on the stunning terrace of Windsong Restaurant , famed to be one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean . Here , international cuisine , including Asian flavours , is combined with local , authentic ingredients . Seafood takes pride of place , seasoned with fresh , invigorating spices . As you eat and sample the selection of wines available at the restaurant , watch the sun go down behind the Piton Mountains . After dinner , try the seasonal range of beers and wines available at the C Bar . The expertly-designed treatments at the Ti Spa have been influenced by St Lucian tradition as well as European expertise , and all products are made from local , organic products . Guests can choose to enjoy their treatment under the picturesque sea-view wooden gazebo , on the boardwalk , or in your own suite . When planning your day trips from Calabash Cove , consult the hotel staff , who can assist in organising a range of activities , from sailing and sunset cruises , to mud baths and hikes in the forest . Calabash Cove is a boutique resort that provides secluded and intimate surroundings , perfect for couples .
