The BodyHoliday
Things to know
before you go
The BodyHoliday is a true all-inclusive wellness resort.
Its defining inclusion is the daily 50-minute spa treatment, excluding arrival and departure days.
This is one of the strongest wellness all-inclusive products in the Caribbean.
It allows guests 12 and older, but the experience is adult-oriented and not family-program-forward.
Hidden tips
Pre-plan spa treatments and classes before arrival when possible.
Book TAO or Cariblue Windows early because guests consistently recommend reservations.
Budget separately for specialist treatments and I-TAL or other premium experiences if they are not in your package.
Things guests wish they had known
The resort has a learning curve around spa and activity scheduling.
Daily spa treatments are included, but specialist upgrades are extra.
It is wellness-focused rather than a conventional indulgent party all-inclusive.
Strengths from our research
Daily spa treatment included.
Extensive fitness, yoga, tennis, golf, sailing and wellness programming.

Excellent service and repeat-guest sentiment.
Other considerations from our research
Long UVF transfer.
Rooms can feel simple relative to the price.
Specialist spa treatments are extra.

Pools and the beach
Pools & waterplay

Secluded Cariblue Beach with water sports and snorkeling access; guests praise beach quiet, though occasional beach-service inconsistency appears in reviews.
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
- Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily

Families & group stays
Bringing the kids to The BodyHoliday
What decides whether a resort works with children in tow, answered from what the resort publishes rather than from the brochure.
- Kids' club
- No kids' club
- Teen program
- Not offered
- Heated pools
- Yes, year-round spa/pool operation
- Beach for young swimmers
- Entry varies along the beach
- Dinner reservations
- Needed at some restaurants
- Does The BodyHoliday have a kids' club, and from what age?
- No. The BodyHoliday doesn't run a supervised kids' club. Plan on parent-supervised play.
- Are the pools at The BodyHoliday heated?
- Yes: pool heating is confirmed, running year-round spa/pool operation. That matters most December through February, when unheated pools in the region can be too cold for small children.
Taking a group
Excellent for wellness retreats, solo-traveler groups and active adults; not a party resort.
- Private dining & events
- Bookable
- Nightlife
- Low-key, quiet by late evening

Our full take on The BodyHoliday
The BodyHoliday is a wellness all-inclusive on Cariblue Beach in St. Lucia, and its defining inclusion is a spa treatment every day. It has 155 rooms, three pools including a saltwater thalassotherapy pool, six restaurants, and a programme of fitness, yoga, tennis, golf and sailing, and it takes guests of twelve and over. The daily treatment runs 50 minutes and covers every day but the ones you arrive and leave on.
Guests praise the included treatments, the fitness and wellness programming, an atmosphere that works unusually well for solo travellers, the staff, and the calm of the beach. The complaints are the price, rooms that feel simple against it, the planning the spa and class schedule needs, and food and beach service that vary. The thing people wish they had known is that the scheduling has a learning curve, and that specialist treatments are charged on top.
The plan covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Wellness Cafe and afternoon tea, all drinks by the glass, Wi-Fi, the classes, hikes and runs, the sailing, windsurfing and kayaking, and even the water-skiing and tubing, alongside that daily 50-minute treatment; specialist treatments, dive certifications, bottles and premium labels are extra, and the transfer from Hewanorra is charged at roughly 95 US dollars a car by road or about 202 a person by helicopter. Pre-book the treatments and classes before you fly. The Ocean Front Room opens onto the sand and the Ocean View Room is the step above the garden categories. Children under twelve are not admitted.
