Rendezvous Resort St Lucia

The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Rendezvous Resort is St Lucia's only couples-only all-inclusive resort, positioned on the beautiful Malabar Beach near Castries with 100 cottages and suites, an all-inclusive food and drink programme, and a dedicated focus on romance. The all-inclusive format takes the stress of daily spend management entirely off the table — everything from watersports to wine is included — and the couples-only policy means the atmosphere is entirely focused on two-person romance and relaxation. It is not a luxury five-star resort and does not pretend to be: it is the best-run couples retreat on St Lucia for honeymooners who want a stress-free, all-paid experience on a beautiful beach.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
The Luxury Beachfront Cottages are the top honeymoon option — standalone cottage units directly on Malabar Beach with private terraces, king beds, and the most direct connection to the all-inclusive beach experience. The Hideaway Suites are a newer category with upgraded interiors and more contemporary design. For maximum romance, the Treehouse Cottage offers an elevated, garden-set option popular for proposals and honeymoons.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival & All-Inclusive Check-In
Malabar Beach is close to George F.L. Charles Airport in Castries — around 10 minutes by road. The Rendezvous arrival experience includes a welcome cocktail and immediate orientation of the all-inclusive programme. Everything — meals, drinks, water sports equipment, yoga classes — is included. The pressure of a honeymoon itinerary immediately relaxes when the wallet stays in the room. Afternoon on the beach, first all-inclusive dinner.
Water Sports & Couples Yoga
Rendezvous's all-inclusive watersports programme includes kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, and cycling — all at no extra charge. Morning on the water, afternoon yoga class on the beach platform. The couples yoga programme is particularly strong and a daily ritual for many guests.
Pitons Day Excursion
A day trip to the Pitons area is the essential St Lucia experience — Rendezvous can arrange transport for an additional cost (excursions beyond the resort are not all-inclusive). Soufrière, the Sulphur Springs, and Diamond Falls in a single day. Return by late afternoon for sunset on Malabar Beach.
Spa Day
The Rendezvous spa offers a range of treatments at premium above the all-inclusive rate. A couples massage is the recommended splurge — budget a modest additional amount for the spa day as the value and quality are excellent for the overall price point. Return to the beach for the afternoon.
Sunset Sailing & Starlight Dinner
Rendezvous's resident sailboat runs guests on an evening sail along the coast at sunset — a romantic all-inclusive perk that other resorts charge substantially for. The Starlight Restaurant offers a candlelit dinner option; pre-book for the best table with the most atmospheric setting.
Beach Day & Romance Package
Rendezvous offers a dedicated romance package that includes a rose petal turndown, champagne, and a couples experience of your choice. Day six is the ideal moment to activate this if included in your booking, or arrange it at the front desk. A full day on Malabar Beach with all-inclusive cocktails and seafood lunch.
Farewell Morning
A final all-inclusive breakfast with beach views, the last swim in Malabar's calm water, and the resort transfer to George F.L. Charles Airport for your departure.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Rendezvous is a four-star all-inclusive, not a five-star luxury resort — the room quality, food, and facilities are good but will not match the standards of Ladera, Sugar Beach, or Anse Chastanet. The value proposition is strong but the experience is different in character.
The all-inclusive model means you will be interacting with 100 other couples at shared meals, pools, and beach areas — there is no private villa experience or guarantee of seclusion here.
Excursions beyond the resort (Pitons, catamaran, Soufrière) are not included in the all-inclusive rate and must be budgeted additionally.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Rendezvous Resort good for honeymooners?
Yes — the couples-only policy creates an atmosphere of complete romantic focus, and the all-inclusive format eliminates the financial friction of a honeymoon. The beach is beautiful, the water sports are excellent, and the resort runs a consistently well-curated romance programme. It is the best all-inclusive honeymoon option on St Lucia.
What is the best time to visit?
January through April is the dry season peak. The resort is popular year-round, with shoulder months May and November offering slightly better rates while maintaining good weather.
What should we book in advance?
Beachfront Cottages and Treehouse Cottage categories book up quickly for peak season. Pre-arrange any romance packages at the time of booking.
Is it adults-only?
Yes — Rendezvous is the only couples-only resort in St Lucia and requires both guests to be adults. It does not admit children, teenagers, or solo travellers.
What's the best room for a honeymoon?
A Luxury Beachfront Cottage for direct beach access and the most natural all-inclusive beach lifestyle. The Treehouse Cottage for a more garden-set, elevated romantic experience.
How do we get there?
Fly to George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU) in Castries — this is the airport with the shortest transfer to Rendezvous (approximately 10 minutes). Hewanorra International (UVF) is an alternative but adds 60+ minutes of transfer. The resort coordinates airport pickups.
