Cap Maison Luxury Resort & Spa
Gros Islet | Saint Lucia | Caribbean
Cap Maison is a consistent winner in Conde Naste's Readers Awards, and is perched on a cliff above a crescent-shaped beach, with a scattering of terracotta urns, pretty fountains and courtyards, white-washed buildings and incredible panoramic views.
Take the series of steps down to secluded Smugglers Cove Beach, relax by the two-tiered ocean-view pool or lounge on a lawn edged by beautiful gardens of frangipani, hibiscus and jasmine.
Two and three-storey Mediterranean-style blocks are topped with terracotta tiles. Watch hummingbirds from the terrace of a Garden View Room or opt for partial ocean views from a Junior Suite.
Dining Options
The Cliff at Cap boasts exquisite French-Caribbean influenced cuisine accompanied by breathtaking panoramic views and sensational sunsets over the Caribbean Sea, with Martinique and Pigeon Island silhouetted on the horizon. Choose from delicious mains such as sautéed rock shrimp or five-spice duck breast followed by hot mango soufflé or iced coconut parfait and accompanied by one of the 170-plus wines from the resort's private cellar.
The Saturday Night Caribbean Tapas accompanied by live music is a popular local event and booking in advance is highly recommended.
Stroll down to the newly opened Naked Fisherman Beach Bar & Grill which offers a delightfully casual setting under a thatched roof on Smugglers Cove beach and is intriguingly named after local Fishermen. Here you can enjoy chaise longue service and delicious dishes such as homemade burgers, the grilled island catch and pumpkin and coconut curry, as well as spiced rum and exotic cocktails.
Rock Maison offers a wonderfully romantic private dining area on a deck built over the rocks. Surrounded on three sides by the lapping waves, you can enjoy intimate meals or drinks delivered in a basket via a zip-line. Immerse yourself in the island's rugged beauty at the natural Rock Pool which offers a romantic and secluded setting on the rocks at the base of the cliff. Listen to the sound of the waves as you sit on the rock-carved bench and sip cocktails.
Bars & Lounges
At The Cliff Bar you can enjoy mesmerising sunsets from the comfort of plush sun loungers whilst sampling the island's finest rum. Sink into a comfy sofa at Theo's Lounge, an honesty bar set in the cosy lounge with a computer, books, games, a cards table and a terrace shaded by a beautiful Saman tree.
