Sometimes, just chilling ain't enough!


With the current availability and frequency of air service to the island, a  short stay is always doable. Nevertheless, having chosen to reach one of the most beautiful places on earth, why would you not explore St Lucia?


Getting Immersed

Calabash Cove has many features to make you want to stay where you are.  Spending your days on the secluded beach, strolling through the lush gardens, lazing by the vast infinity pool, and taking long, leisurely lunches indulging in delicious food and sipping chilled wine.


Cool Huh?


For some, that's just not enough.....


Explore St Lucia with some adventures, perhaps?

Saint Lucia is made for exploring. It's AKA 'Helen of the West', alludes to the beauty of Helen of Troy. The majestic Pitons and surrounding valleys are designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. A trip to Saint Lucia is not complete without seeing them, climbing them, photographing them, and being inspired by them. If that's not enough for starters, we make incredible chocolate to boot. In fact this blog appears during "Chocolate Month".


Fit & Fearless

Our Rainforest provides a few choices for adventure at different levels. For the fit and fearless, trekking the forest complete with waterfalls, fantastic flora, and fauna, and in the extreme even climbing our highest peak, Mount Gimmie.

Undersea Wonderland

Underwater adventures abound with diving in crystal clear waters bursting with marine life. A multitude of tropical fish, turtles, rays, and corals await you in several locations. We have some old wrecks too!.


Enjoy the undersea world whether you are a beginner or experienced diver. If you are qualified, don't forget to bring your PADI or BSAC card. If you want to learn to dive allow a weeks stay. We will fix it up for you, don't worry.

Explore St Lucia with Softer Adventure-Try Ziplining

A fun way to explore the forest without too much effort is to get to one of the zipline venues. The experience of zipping through the treetops with views you cannot imagine is one for the memory bank.


The team at the zipline venue, fit you up with all the equipment and after a few tips, make your way through the rope bridges and up ladders to your first platform.


The thrill as you leave the platform and "zip" through the tree tops is out of this world. Don't worry, you are quite safe.


Explore St Lucia - All at Sea

For those with the "hunter provider." instinct, deep water fishing is not to be missed. Marlin, Tuna, and Swordfish abound in our waters.


The Ocean surrounding Saint Lucia provides a habitat for Dolphins and Whales, and many sighting trips are available.


When you are keen to explore St Lucia, don't forget the sea.

Friday Fish Fest

Caribbean cooking is colorful and tasty. Creole recipes abound in local restaurants and bars. Or take in the Anse Le Raye "Fish Fest" on a Friday night. It's a weekly ritual of lining the village streets with vendors cooking Lobster, Shrimp, Snapper, Grouper, and Dorado on BBQs stretching along the seafront. The atmosphere has laughter, mouthwatering smells, loud music, friends meeting friends, and families meeting families. Explore St Lucia not only by sampling its food, but many other aspects of its history and culture.

Making it easy to stay longer...

We have you covered

Why Couples Choose to Have All-Inclusive Destination Weddings What makes all-inclusive destination weddings so popular? A survey of 1,460 members of the Knot Wedding Network showed some interesting trends when they provided answers to some key questions about their wedding. The results from this 2014 survey showed an interesting trend. For example, almost one in four couples (24%) of those surveyed chose to have a destination wedding rather than a traditional ceremony in their home town. Of these, 45% of the weddings were in an international destination and 60% were a significant distance from where the couple lived at the time of their wedding. Fast forward to 2024/5 and we see that destination weddings have become increasingly popular among U.S. couples in recent years. As of 2024, approximately 25% of all U.S. weddings were destination weddings, with about half of these taking place internationally. The global destination wedding market has seen significant growth, expanding from $21.31 billion in 2022 to $28.31 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $78.89 billion by 2027. Popular international destinations for U.S. couples include Mexico, the Caribbean, and various European countries. Mexico remains a top choice due to its proximity and diverse venue options. The average cost of a destination wedding in 2023 was $41,000, compared to $35,000 for traditional weddings. Factors contributing to the higher cost include travel expenses, accommodations, and the tendency to hire wedding planners for remote coordination. The driving factor for couples being prepared to go the extra mile, is simply the attraction of a memorable experience.
