Elite Island Resorts has completed its renovation and rebranding of the new St James’s Club, Morgan Bay in St Lucia.

The property, which was formerly known as the Morgan Bay Beach Resort, has relaunched with a new name following a brief closure and a multi-million-dollar renovation.

The changes at the property, which was acquired last year, included a full remodel of its swimming pools, upgrades to the bar areas, new floor accents and the installation of flat-screen televisions in all of the resort’s 310 guestrooms and suites.

Elite Island Resorts also represents the St James’s Club & Villas in Antigua.

“St James’s Club & Villas in Antigua exemplifies our well-established tradition of excellence in providing a premier and fully-comprehensive, all-inclusive Caribbean getaway,” said Steven Heydt, president of Elite Island Resorts. “The enhancements and re-branding of the resort reflect our commitment to providing guests with a combination of beautiful accommodations and amenities met with the personalized service that makes an Elite Island Resorts vacation an unforgettable one.”

The resort has also relocated and expanded its spa, Tranquility Body & Soul Spa.

St James’s Club, Morgan Bay, is located on 25 acres of hillside gardens on the northern edge of St Lucia, featuring four restaurants, five bars, four freshwater pools and four tennis courts.
