These Are the 16 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Saint Lucia, From Adults-Only Retreats to Overwater Bungalows
Saint Lucia has a way of drawing you in before you even arrive. The island rises out of the sea in slow, green angles, the Pitons standing watch like ancient markers, the beaches shifting from wide crescents to hidden coves. It is a place that feels designed for escape, where days run long and the light changes constantly. And in 2026, the island’s all inclusive scene is evolving again — a mix of legendary resorts, new villas on Reduit Beach and hillside sanctuaries that now offer fully packaged stays.
What sets Saint Lucia apart is how many different styles of all inclusive you can choose from. You can spend a week on a peninsula with water on three sides, disappear into a clifftop suite above the Pitons, or check into a beachfront villa with an everything-included plan wrapped around it. Couples, families, food lovers, luxury seekers — the island has a version of all inclusive crafted for each one.
These are the Saint Lucia all inclusive resorts to visit in 2026, with both traditional all-inclusive vacation options and resorts that offer all-inclusive packages.
On its own peninsula, Sandals Grande unfolds across more than 300 rooms and suites, many with direct waterfront terraces or overwater hammocks swaying above the lagoon. The beach is unusually calm here, protected by the shape of the bay, making swimming and paddleboarding almost effortless.
Its scale is matched by its energy: 12 restaurants, multiple pools including a sweeping main pool framed by a long swim-up bar, and a full PADI dive program that introduces guests to some of the island’s best underwater terrain. Grande is the resort you choose when you want instant immersion — long beach days, easy dining, and that signature Sandals smoothness. The party piece? The overwater villas — some of the best in the Caribbean.
