In Saint Lucia, This Wellness-Focused All-Inclusive Resort Is All About Family Fitness and Olympic Energy This Summer

There’s never a dull season in Saint Lucia—but this summer, one of the Caribbean’s premier wellness resorts is turning up the tempo. At BodyHoliday, the famed all-inclusive retreat known for its holistic approach to health and wellbeing, the coming months are all about getting out of your comfort zone, trying something new, and—most importantly—having a little fun while you do it.

Welcome to BodyHoliday’s Feature Months—a rotating series of themed experiences designed to elevate your stay and engage mind, body, and spirit in fresh, dynamic ways.

The BodyHoliday is a haven for wellness, and it’s heating up this summer.

It’s another cool bit of programming for a resort that’s one of the best wellness-focused properties in the Caribbean, and one that we stayed at and absolutely loved. The tagline is “give us your body for a week, and we’ll give you back your mind,” and trust us, when you stay there, that’s exactly what happens. 

So what’s on the agenda? First, there’s Jive June: running from June 2 to 22, this three-week celebration of movement transforms the resort into a vibrant stage of rhythm and expression. World-class professionals—like Moulin Rouge performer Stefanie Renee Salyers and celebrated ballerina Bojana Matic BoBadu—will be leading daily dance workshops in styles ranging from sultry Tango to high-energy Zumba.

Think Salsa under the stars. Think Merengue mornings on the beach. Think friendly weekly dance-offs that turn cardio into community. Whether you’re a seasoned mover or have two left feet, Jive June welcomes you to let go, loosen up, and lean into the beat.

As July rolls in, BodyHoliday flips the script on the family vacation with WellFit Tribes—a two-month-long immersive program (June 30 to August 24) crafted for families with teenagers aged 12 and up. This is not your average bonding experience.

Picture it: sunrise circuits on the sand, team obstacle courses in the jungle, and spirited challenges that inspire teamwork, laughter, and a little healthy competition. Even more impressive? The athletic pedigree of your mentors. Olympic and Paralympic athletes including Jade Jones (Team GB’s youngest Olympic champ), British sprinter Ashleigh Nelson, Kadeena Cox (a four-time Paralympic gold medalist), and U.S. Olympic swimmer Brooks Vaughn Curry will be on-site to guide, motivate, and maybe even share a few stories from the podium.

Though the full details are still under wraps, BodyHoliday has hinted at an upcoming major wellness retreat featuring Saint Lucia’s own track sensation, gold medalist Julien Alfred. With her meteoric rise on the global sprinting stage, anticipation is high.

So what about prices? You can book all-inclusive rates starting at $676 for single occupancy and $888 for double occupancy for the fitness events this summer.
