In the middle of winter, I felt the itch to travel to sunnier skies and heard wonderful things about the island of St. Lucia with temps of 85* degrees all year round! An all-inclusive Mediterranean-style resort tucked away 1.5 from the airport, you’ll fall in love with the Windjammer Landing Villas in St. Lucia. This property feels like a private beachside village of its own. I spent 5 days at the Windjammer and thought I would share my itinerary just in case you wanted to see all they had to offer!

Ideal for couples, families, multi-generational travelers, singles and groups, Windjammer Landing is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, extensive activities, and signature all-inclusive vacation, though room-only packages are also available.
