Sandals St. Lucia Honeymoon Packages
Your honeymoon is one of the most special times in your life.
For this short period of time, you don’t want to leave room to error: you want to get it perfect.
As such, you are looking for the most spectacular honeymoon package and you think Saint Lucia just might be calling your name.
It’s no secret that Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia are deemed one of the best honeymoon destinations in the world.
With so much information floating online, where to begin?
Never fear.
Below, I have everything you need to know about Sandals St. Lucia honeymoon packages.
Together, let’s explore the different resort options on the island, why Sandals is so famous for their honeymoons, and some considerations you’ll want to think about when choosing your perfect package.
Need a quick summary? Head straight to the bottom of this post for just that!Â
The Sandals St. Lucia Resorts
Ahhh, the glorious Sandals Resorts.
Sure, there is definitely some hype to Sandals marketing, but does it live up to the standard?
At the time of this post, Sandals was just crowned the World’s #1 All-Inclusive Resorts by the World Travel Awards – for the 25th consecutive year!
Indeed, that speaks volumes without my commentary.
Just simply take a look at the inclusions of any Sandals Resort and you’ll quickly know why.
I have the pleasure of inspecting all 3 of the resorts in St. Lucia each year; each time, I am truly in awe at the forward progress the brand has taken.
In order to best decide your honeymoon, let’s have a detailed look at each of these brilliant resorts.
As a reminder, all Sandals Resorts are premium all-inclusive; so, rather than focusing on the inclusions all resorts have, I will discuss their unique features below.
Sandals Regency La Toc
In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated resorts in the entire brand portfolio.
It falls on the cheaper half of the Sandals price spectrum, but it certainly has its own reasons to shine.
Sandals Regency La Toc is a stunning cliff-side estate, sprawling on 220 acres in Castries, Saint Lucia.
When it comes to unparalleled views from a height, Regency La Toc is unmatched.
This potential honeymoon is located along a half-mile beach, the “Emerald of the Caribbean.”
Here, you will find 9 Global Gourmet Dining Restaurants – each with their unique flair.
Golf lover? The Sandals Regency La Toc Golf Club is located on property – green fees included!
Out of the resorts, you’ll find this option the southernmost of the 3 on the island.
Take a quick peek below at the gorgeousness of this resort:
Sandals Halcyon Beach
Colloquially referred to as Saint Lucia’s “Garden of Eden,” Sandals Halcyon Beach is a smaller resort that places the top focus on calm, intimate relaxation.
While not lacking in amenities, you won’t find large parties at this resort – leaving that to their sister resorts with the extra space.
At Sandals Halcyon, the resort prides itself on peacefulness and tranquility.
A gorgeous beach at one angle and the rising famous Piton Mountains in another direction, why not be caught in paradise?
Location-wise, this destination is tucked perfectly between the other two – an important element for the stay & play I’ll discuss later.
This relaxing escape provides 6 Global Gourmet Dining options, including the well-known Kimonos – a show-style teppanyaki Oriental culinary delight!
I actually put together a walk-about video to show the nature of this resort. Excuse the fact that the one day I decided to film at this resort, it rained. 🙂
Here you go:
Sandals Grande St. Lucian
All the majesty of Sandals Resorts comes to rest at Sandals Grande St. Lucian.
Rated in the top-3 properties in the entire brand, this magical resort certainly lives up to the “Grande” in its name.
Indeed, when you first enter the resort in a royal indoor rotunda courtyard, you instantly feel the majesty of this location.
The recent winner of “Saint Lucia’s Leading Resort,” you can find much of the best here with 12 Global Gourmet Restaurants, some of the finest suites, and the highest number of included sports and amenities on the island.
In my opinion, the management in this resort are also some of the best in the Caribbean’s entirety; say hi to the beloved Winston Anderson, the GM, for me!
Here are some visuals!
Ok, I’ll quickly make mention of this while we are here:
Have a decent honeymoon budget?
Sandals Grande St. Lucia is famous for both their Rondovals I mention in the next portion and their amazing over-the-water bungalows. Here are two pieces of visual candy of these mesmerizing suites, which come with private butlers, of course.
Sandals Honeymoon Package
When it comes to celebrations, you can rely on Sandals, a brand dedicated to couples romance, to make these special.
Anniversaries. Weddings. Proposals. Birthdays. Babymoons.
Honeymoons are certainly no exception!
If you are traveling within 30-days of your wedding date (or staying after your free wedding at Sandals), you are eligible for Sandals free honeymoon package.
Sandals is known for their extreme inclusions, so these simply kick it up a notch.
This package includes romantic features such as a bubbly welcome in your suite, a special romantic turn-down service for the first evening of your honeymoon, and a delightful honeymoon breakfast in bed.
If you are staying in a butler category suite, you can expect your butler to even sweeten the deal!
To take advantage of this, you must first book your stay and then fill out this form quickly thereafter.
Honeymoon Considerations & Tips
Accommodation Types
You might already be familiar with the 3 tiers of luxury at any Sandals: Luxury, Club Sandals, and Butler Elite.
For a honeymoon, I really recommend Club level rooms/suites and higher and, if your budget allows, the immense value that comes with the Butler level.
Privacy
Let’s not be shy. We all know what happens on a honeymoon.
Accordingly, when selecting your final destination, you want to ensure you book a room that offers the kind of ambience desired and, perhaps, privacy.
Just so you know, all suites at Sandals have extra thick walls, so I’m talking less about sound, but rather where you want to be in the resort – some love the intimate garden views, others resort-facing, while others most be along the oceanfront.
For example, if you end up in one of the luxurious Rondoval suites at Sandals Grande St. Lucian, you can book either a secluded garden Rondoval with a private pool (great for honeymoon skinny dipping?!) or you can have a similar Rondoval with the private pool open to the ocean!
The best suites (many Club and most Butler) at Sandals come with super-size Tranquility Soaking Tubs – you’ve seriously got to check these out. You can find these both on the balcony and inside the lavish bathrooms, different with each suite setup.
The Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tubs generally have heavy-duty curtains that can close off your balcony to give you the choice of either open-air ambience or a quiet, intimate space.
I’m pleased to say that you can now find these Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tubs in a wide variety of suites at Sandals Regency La Toc, Sandals Grande St. Lucian, and Sandals Halcyon Beach.
Relaxation or Adventure: Your Choice
When we embark upon our honeymoon, we all have an idea about what we hope to do with our loved one; sometimes we are on the same page, and sometimes, not so much.
Sandals Resorts are great because each destination offers a mix of relaxation and activities – enough for any mood in which you find yourself.
However, if you know you will want to do more activities or more relaxation in general, this might sway your choice of accommodation location in Saint Lucia.
Sandals Halcyon provides a more relaxed, quiet, and intimate atmosphere overall – though there are still plenty of activities and amenities.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian offers the most variety on activities, dining, and overall over-the-top luxuries, yet you can still find quiet areas. This is considered the most luxurious of these.
Sandals Regency La Toc finds itself somewhere in the middle of the above two on that sliding relaxation/adventure scale.
Stay & Play
Perhaps the most attractive feature about this trifecta of resorts, when you stay at any one of these three locations, you get access to the others as well!
Yes, this means that your dining has just increased to a grand total of 27 restaurants, complimented by 21 premium bars across the brands.
Essentially, anything would be normally included at one location, you’ll be completely entitled to at the others.
Dining. Drinking. Water-sports. Entertainment. Land Activities. Pools. 2 Golf Courses. Lounging.
It’s all yours!
This factor alone makes the aforementioned elements more important because you now have the ability to have a preference of accommodation style and ambience, but embrace the offerings of another entirely when your mood demands.
Oh, did I mention that transfers between these three paradises are included?!
My Summary
If you’ve been considering a Saint Lucia honeymoon, I hope that you now have the knowledge you need to make the most educated choice for this lifelong dream!
Let’s recap (see above for more details):
- 3 different resort options, but stay in one, play at all
- consider your relaxation style versus activity desires
- Sandals offers a honeymoon freebie package for most honeymooners
- the island allows you to choose a coastal, garden, resort, or ocean-view style of accommodations
Curious about the best deal?
Wonder no more. I’ve dedicated a detailed article solely about this topic.
If you are ready to learn more or book now, here you go!
Alternatively, if you’d like to discuss further with a Certified Sandals Specialist, I have personally visited all of these resorts and would be delighted to use my knowledge to help you plan your perfect honeymoon!
I hope to see you in the Saint Lucian paradise!
I cannot wait for the pandemic to be over so I can start traveling again. Anyways, I definitely have heard of Sandals Resort at St, Lucia before, it is the destination that everyone has been talking about. I love the view at Sandals Halcyon Beach, it is just pure beauty. Thanks for your amazing reviews on each estate. I am going to talk to my husband about this.
Thanks for dropping by! Indeed, can’t we all! It really is beautiful, indeed! If I can ever be of help in planning your future paradise vacation, just drop me a message! 🙂

Wow. Everything about this place completely blows my mind. I’m only earning a humble 60k/yr right now while supporting my boyfriend and dealing with our health issues so visiting somewhere like this is beyond my imagination. Can’t imagine what a hit these places have taken during the pandemic.
Maybe one day in the future, I’ll come back to this post and actually be able to click the link. For now I’m visiting it in my imagination, haha.
Hi Christina,
Great to “meet” you! 🙂
Indeed, there are so many brilliant places. They definitely range across the spectrum; if you are ever looking for the most affordable of all the Sandals resorts, have a peek at Sandals Ochi – the cheapest of the portfolio.
The pandemic has certainly been rough on the entire industry, but we are all resilient to come back strong! 🙂

We have been talking about celebrating our anniversary with a blast. That was before COVID though and now, all plans seem to be on hold. I love the idea of spending some quiet time with my partner and Sandals seems like an ideal destination. We’ve always wanted to go to the Caribbean but with all these border restrictions, do you know if it’s safe to travel there during this time?
Hi Cathy!
Now is a great time to book something in advance while prices are lower – availability will decrease and prices will skyrocket for all travel as soon as people are booking regularly again.
I have clients in some of the resorts this very moment and have had ever since they re-opened late summer. Flying is safer than ever with their extreme cleaning measures and HEPA filters and the resorts have went to great lengths to give guests the safest and most enjoyable time possible.
Here is a peek at what they’ve done in terms of COVID safety at Sandals.
Most of the islands also requires a quick and effective COVID test upon arrival (or submitted before), thus giving the guests of knowing they are in a COVID-free environment.
Moreover, Sandals is also giving people reasons to book with confidence right now – free travel protection plan insurance, free room cancellations, 100% refunds available if you can’t go, and so much more.
If you have any questions, do let me know! 🙂

Wow, I didn’t think sandals resorts in St. Lucia would be classified as one of the best honeymoon spot in the world. That’s amazing. I’m happy I’m not married yet, there’d be nothing more amazing during my honey moon than giving my mate the best night of her life in one of the best places ever
Indeed! Quite awesome, isn’t it? When that time comes, you know where to find me and I’ll hook you up with your trip to paradise! 🙂

Getting crowned as the World’s #1 All-inclusive resorts by the World Travel Awards? Count me in! I was thinking of bringing my girl to France as you know how it’s famous for romance but it’s getting very saturated there and it’s overhyped too, maybe because I’ve been there way too many times but St Lucia, man why didn’t I think of that? Guess I know where I’ll be going next year!
I warn you, my friend – go to Saint Lucia and you’ll never want to leave! 🙂
Thanks for your comment.
~ Addison
The pictures look fantastic and it would be great to go there! This pandemic has got many people scared, but then again I guess it should be safe to travel because I’m expecting less people to be out and about right now. The only problem might be the quarantine restrictions. Do you know anything about that?
I imagine that it is serene and peaceful in Saint Lucia at the moment, perfect for a honeymoon trip!
Hi Clark,
You are absolutely right; aircraft have went to extraordinary measures that make it safer than ever and the resort precautions are remarkable. I have a wedding group who just returned from Sandals in Saint Lucia and they had a wonderful time; there is no quarantine upon arrival at this moment if you have a successful quick COVID-test before arrival – a worthy task for a delightful time! 🙂
~ Addison
Oh wow, to be crowned the number 1 World All-inclusive Resort is a great accolade for Sandals. The honeymoon destinations that you discuss here all look and sound spectacular and I am sure it will also be a perfect destination for any couple that is in love or want to celebrate an anniversary.
Most certainly! It speaks volumes, doesn’t it! 🙂
I look forward to sending more couples on their dream honeymoon in Saint Lucia at Sandals!
~ Addison
I love your website!
I’m past the honeymoon stage of life, but do love to travel to beautiful places, and this one looks like a winner. I guess I could visit the St. Lucia spot even if I’m not honeymooning. Maybe I can find a close friend who would like to make such a trip.
Now let’s hope this vaccine is effective enough to remove the restrictions on travel. I do believe that once the Covid danger is contained, a lot of people will want to go someplace beautiful just to forget what we’ve been through.
Hi Fran,
Aww, that is lovely to hear!
Indeed, a Sandals resort in Saint Lucia is amazing not just for a honeymoon, but any celebration or relaxing vacation!
We hope COVID vanishes soon, but in the meantime, Saint Lucia has some of the lowest rates in the world, requires a quick and easy COVID test before entry, and offers a very safe place in paradise for many to enjoy while we await this storm to pass over. 🙂
