If it’s romance and relaxation you’re after, head to Serenity at Coconut Bay, a luxurious and strikingly beautiful adults-only resort with 24-hour on-call butler service. Winner of multiple awards, it has 36 spacious suites – the largest a huge 1,900 square feet – with light, bright tropical decor, mahogany four-poster beds and locally sourced granite bathrooms with oversize soaking tubs, monsoon showers and Molton Brown toiletries. The suites are equally incredible outside. Each has a private patio with plunge pool and waterfall, plus a bar, restocked as needed by your butler. You can have gourmet meals delivered for undisturbed dining, and in-suite spa treatments – including a couple’s lava shell massage – on the deck. Serenity has a stunning pool with in-water loungers, cabanas and bar, as well as butler-delivered cocktails. And you’ll get complimentary private airport transfers. You have free access to all the superb facilities, bars and restaurants at adjacent Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa, but can also savour gourmet dining at The Greathouse Restaurant, reminiscent of a grand St Lucia mansion with its vaulted wood ceiling and handcrafted chandeliers. Greathouse’s acclaimed menu uses fine local produce in signature dishes such as grilled whole lobster and Caesar salad, prepared at your table.

Get wet’n’wild in CocoLand, St Lucia’s largest water park featuring a lazy river, coconut coaster ride and coconut cannon – a super-fast enclosed slide. CocoLand’s Kidz Klub also provides daytime infant care with games, arts and crafts and nature walks. All children get a complimentary backpack, T-shirt and water bottle. Finally, prepare to be splattered by your teens (at an extra cost) in The Zone, the Caribbean’s first paintball course: 30,000 square feet of barriers, targets and mum-and-dad humiliation.

Harmony Wing Coconut Bay’s tranquil adult-only rooms range from deluxe garden views to concierge junior suites, all with views towards the Atlantic and Maria Islands. The Junior Suites feature king-size four-poster beds, concierge services and bars brimful of top-notch booze. The adult oasis keeps it calm and chilled with two pools, a large pool bar and cabanas, along with beachside loungers, hammocks and two-person sundecks. Dial it down to zero by sampling some organic therapies at the Sanctuary Spa. With eight oceanfront treatment rooms, serenaded by lapping waves, there’s no better place for a vanilla coco massage or tropical sea-salt glow body buff. A beachfront wedding centre provides private ceremonies and, if you’re inspired by Harmony’s romantic vibe, vow renewals.
