Zoëtry Marigot Bay St Lucia

The marina-side setting gives Zoëtry a different feel than beach-centric resorts. Its 124 suites sit above the water, many with expansive terraces and soaking tubs overlooking the boats in the bay. The atmosphere is slower and more intimate, shaped by the hills rising sharply behind the property.

Dining is à la carte and intentionally unhurried, with ingredients that reflect the bay’s coastal character. Guests can cross by ferry to the small beach opposite the marina, explore the hillside trails or simply stay with the view — one of the prettiest bays in the Caribbean, at least in our view (and James Michener’s, too).
