This October half term and festive season, families can trade grey skies and chilly mornings for golden beaches, turquoise Caribbean waters and a holiday where everyone gets to enjoy themselves at The Landings Resort & Spa in St Lucia – with direct flights from the UK making the journey to this Caribbean escape refreshingly straightforward.
Set on the sands of Rodney Bay, The Landings offers something increasingly rare for family holidays: space, freedom and activities for every generation. Its luxurious and generously sized suites – many with ocean or marina views, private plunge pools and full kitchens – give families room to spread out, while the beach, pools, private marina and extensive activities are right on the doorstep.
Big on space, big on choice
With expansive suites ranging from one to three bedrooms, The Landings Resort & Spa is ideally suited to families and multi-generational groups who want the flexibility of a private holiday home with the service and facilities of a luxury resort.
For October half term, it’s a chance to squeeze in one last dose of summer – with sunshine, warm seas and enough activities to keep even the hardest-to-please teenagers entertained.
For Christmas, that means waking up barefoot by the Caribbean Sea, spending the day sailing, swimming or exploring the island, indulging in spa rituals, and culinary delights, whether in one of the resort’s restaurants or in the privacy of a suite.
A holiday for every age
The dedicated Kids Club, for children aged 4–12 years old, offers a packed programme of supervised activities including arts and crafts, fishing, nature adventures, dance, sandcastle building and St Lucian cultural experiences.
For older children and teenagers, there’s an equally strong focus on adventure, independence and trying something new, with dedicated programming alongside tennis, sailing and a wealth of watersports and activities to enjoy across the resort.
Sailing, Snorkelling and a Whole Caribbean Playground
At the heart of The Landings Resort & Spa is its private marina, creating a natural gateway to St Lucia’s spectacular coastline. From here, families can head out on sailing, diving, fishing and sightseeing excursions, explore the island by boat or take to the water for a day of adventure.
The resort offers a wide range of non-motorised watersports, including kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and windsurfing, alongside motorised options for those looking for more adrenaline.
There are also plenty of opportunities to leave the resort behind and discover the island together. For a family day out, excursions can take guests along St Lucia’s coastline for swimming and snorkelling stops, while catamaran trips offer the chance to explore reefs, spot colourful marine life and enjoy lunch on board. A visit to Pigeon Island adds another memorable option, with its beautiful beaches, historic sites and scenic trails.
The Landings’ concierge and suite butlers can help families tailor excursions around different ages and interests, making it easier to turn a week away into a genuine St Lucian adventure rather than simply a resort stay.
And parents get a holiday too
While children are busy making friends and trying new activities, parents can enjoy some well-earned downtime of their own.
The resort’s full-service spa, daily fitness and wellness programme, yoga, Pilates, sound baths and tennis offer plenty of ways to unwind, while the beach, four pools and waterfront restaurants make it easy to slow the pace down.
It’s this balance that makes The Landings particularly appealing for families: children have independence and adventure, parents have space to relax, and everyone can come back together when they choose.
Nightly rates at The Landings Resort & Spa start from £380 per suite per night including breakfast, free non-motorised sports and daily activities. For more information or to book, visit https://www.landingsstlucia.com/
