A pioneering concept that has been attracting wellness seekers since 1988, BodyHoliday is the best of all worlds – a beach holiday on the white-sand shores of St Lucia, staying in the lap of luxury with the finest of everything, and the use of world-class spa facilities including the only Ayurvedic temple in the West Indies.
BodyHoliday says to its guests, ‘give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind’ and this offer of nurturing and rejuvenation extends right into the guest rooms, which have been engineered to provide the ultimate in rest as part of a resort-wide Sleep Program.
To nourish the body from the inside out, BodyHoliday’s all-inclusive restaurants serve health-focused cuisine with a touch of indulgence whenever desired. And to nourish you from the outside in, an award-winning Wellness Centre, exclusive Skin Clinic and high-tech Body Science Clinic offer a comprehensive range of treatments, therapeutic rituals, classes and sporting activities to ensure you remain in balance and feel re-energised.
The Wellness Centre
The Wellness Centre
In an elevated position overlooking the rest of the resort, the Moorish-inspired Wellness Centre at BodyHoliday offers improved wellbeing through the four pillars of exercise, diet, restorative beauty and relaxation.
As part of the resort’s all-inclusivity, guests receive complimentary 50-minute sessions that include massages, body wraps, facials and thalassotherapy. The Swedish-based Serenity and Sizzler massages incorporate aromatherapy to calm the mind and soothe aching muscles.
In addition to a thalassotherapy pool, a BodyScience clinic and dance and yoga studios, the centre’s expert therapists offer paid-for treatments ranging from acupuncture and deep-tissue massage to signature Bhutanese massage and osteopathy. For a dosha-balancing spa experience, a range of Ayurvedic cuisine and treatments inspired by the 5,000-year-old approach to holistic wellness is complemented by BodyYoga to encourage discipline, patience and focus.
For those looking for a body-pampering sensation, the Skin Clinic promises the finest skincare formulas from brands including Thalgo, CACI and SkinCeuticals. An extensive list of facial and body treatments are designed to refresh, revive and firm your skin, and restore its healthy, natural glow.

To Stay
Overlooking beautiful gardens and the Caribbean Sea, recently refurbished accommodation at BodyHoliday includes a selection of luxurious rooms, suites and villas. All have been optimised for noise-cancellation and offer a pillow menu as part of the resort’s Sleep Program.
Garden View rooms are decorated in cool pastel shades – some carry no single supplement while others offer private sun terraces overlooking tropical gardens.
Ocean View rooms offer views of Cariblue Bay and the Caribbean Sea, with feng shui principles determining their colours and fabrics. Luxury Oceanfront King rooms have writing desks and furnished balconies as well as spacious bathrooms in cedar and stone with Kohler Body all-over jet showers.
To experience the moonlight gently lapping on the waves at night, a selection of Oceanfront Suites offer sea views, state-of-the-art marble-clad bathrooms and separate living and sleeping areas. At the height of luxury, the Penthouse King Suite comes complete with a double soaking tub, a Kinesis gym, a private hammam and butler service.
For those looking to create more of a home from home, a duo of villas – Aurora and Calypso – offer exclusive verandah views of Cariblue Bay and its surrounding lush flora while you bask in the St. Lucian sun. In addition to personal concierge services, expert chefs from BodyHoliday’s culinary team can deliver a nourishing private menu for you and your party.
To Eat
The resort’s all-inclusive restaurants provide health-focused cuisine with a touch of indulgence, delivering dishes designed to be kind to your body but never at the expense of flavour.
With one side of the restaurant opened to the sea, Tao offers a harmonious menu of east-meets-west fusion cuisine. With a concept based on the Taoist principle of creating balance, its menu is designed to contribute to guests’ realignment and sense of centredness.
With evening menus named after St Lucian flowers – Oleander, Frangipani, Ginger Lily and Jasmine – Cariblue serves plates ranging from Ayurvedic and vegan specialities to hearty meat and fish dishes. It also hosts the chic evening-only Cariblue Windows concept, where chefs showcase their talents with imaginative tasting menus and wine pairings.
Along the boardwalk under the almond trees is the Wellness Café – perfect for a relaxed late breakfast or light lunch in the shade – while the Pavilion Grill offers bespoke clay oven-fired pizzas as well as fresh fish and seafood for lunch and early dinner.
