St Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about- a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St Vincent, and north of Barbados. St Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, with a shape that is said to resemble either a mango or an avocado. The Atlantic is on its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.
Almond Smugglers Cove is a premium all-inclusive resort which opened in 2007. It is a spacious, village style resort on a 60-acre estate with tropical gardens in a secluded bay with its own stretch of sandy beach. The resort is newly refurbished and offers extensive facilities in an informal setting- perfect for families and couples looking for a high-quality, all-inclusive holiday in the Caribbean.
The resort is located on the Northwest Coast of St. Lucia on Cap Estate and across from the St. Lucia Golf Resort and Country Club.
