St. Lucia's New Capella Marigot Bay

Marigot Bay is one of the safest and most picturesque anchorages in the Caribbean. Two-thirds of the way up the west coast of St. Lucia, it is a narrow inlet of jade-green water sheltered by steep, forested slopes. From here, yachts head north 
to Martinique or south 
to the Grenadines. 


The 124-room Capella Marigot Bay opened in August. Many of the 57 suites come with private pools; the Auriga spa features outdoor treatment rooms in treehouses; and restaurants include Brut, 
a sushi bar with panoramic views. Although there is no beach, activities include rain forest hikes, scuba diving, day sailing, mixology lessons in the Rum Cave, and Caribbean cooking classes.
