StolenTime Saint Lucia

"This resort's unfettered access to Malabar Beach does not disappoint when it comes to natural beauty. The pristine two-mile stretch is secluded enough to offer privacy, while the resort offers first-class services. From your personal cabana or sun bed, you need only raise a flag and a refreshing cocktail will be in your hands in minutes. Meanwhile, the wider grounds are designed for maximum relaxation. Stroll along Lazy River, which meanders through the resort, and you’ll encounter tranquil pools and tiny secluded islands. Dip your toes in its cool waters, or find a secluded spot to dig into that novel you’d been meaning to find time to read forever—you’re decadently off the clock. Before heading back to your room, take a lap in the lovely Water Garden pool, which cultivates a calm, quiet atmosphere—no cannonballs or blaring radios here." - CNT Editors

"StolenTime’s swim-up bar, the Pool Bar, is a lively social space with a full menu of Caribbean-inspired cocktails—think plenty of rum! If relaxing in the pool with a drink in hand isn’t enough, guests also have the opportunity to participate in the Mixology at StolenTime program, which lets them create their own original drink to be judged by fellow guests."

"Chef Shalil D’Silva, who moved to the island from Panaji, Goa, five years ago and works as an executive sous chef at a wellness resort, StolenTime by Rendezvous in Castries."

"Rebecca Platt, corporate director of sales and marketing for BodyHoliday and Rendezvous resorts in St. Lucia, discusses the business aspects of all-inclusive resorts."

"One of the Caribbean's first adults-only, all-inclusive resorts (Rendezvous opened in 1966), it is more intimate in scale than many others."
