BodyHoliday vs Anse Chastanet Resort – At a Glance

Category BodyHoliday Anse Chastanet Resort
Overall Vibe All-inclusive wellness resort with a social, active feel, extensive fitness programming, daily spa focus, and a polished beach-resort rhythm. Romantic, nature-immersed resort with hillside architecture, tropical surroundings, strong beach character, and a quieter sense of escape.
Location On Cariblue Beach in Cap Estate on St. Lucia’s northern coast, convenient for guests who want the island’s north-side resort scene. Near Soufrière on St. Lucia’s southwest coast, known for lush scenery, volcanic landscapes, marine life, and views toward the Pitons.
Rooms & Suites Comfortable rooms and suites set in tropical gardens and close to the beach, better for guests who plan to spend days in activities and spa appointments. Individual, characterful rooms with an open-air, hillside feel in many categories—best for travelers who value views, atmosphere, and natural design.
Dining All-inclusive dining across venues such as Cariblue, TAO, Cariblue Windows, the Wellness Cafe, and casual beachside options. A more destination-dining feel, with restaurants that suit romantic meals, scenic settings, and travelers who enjoy a slower, more atmospheric dinner experience.
Pools & Beach Cariblue Beach setting with swimming pools, watersports, scuba options, beach service, and a resort layout built around active days by the water. Beautiful natural beach setting with excellent snorkeling and diving appeal, plus a more tucked-away, landscape-driven beach atmosphere.
Kids & Family Welcomes guests ages 12 and over, with teen-friendly wellness elements and a seasonal WellFit Families programme in July and August. Better suited to couples, honeymooners, and older families who want nature, beach time, and low-key exploration rather than a kids-club style resort.
Price & Value Best value for travelers who will use the included spa treatment, fitness classes, watersports, drinks, and all-inclusive dining every day. Best value for travelers who place more value on location, views, snorkeling, diving, and a distinctive St. Lucia resort experience than on a broad all-inclusive activity schedule.

Rooms & Suites: Wellness Comfort vs Hillside Character

BodyHoliday – Room Style

Rooms and suites at BodyHoliday are designed for a comfortable beach-and-wellness stay, with the bigger draw being easy access to the spa, fitness studios, beach, pools, and daily activity schedule.

  • Rooms and suites set around Cariblue Beach and tropical gardens
  • Best for active travelers who will spend most of the day at the spa, beach, or fitness classes
  • All-inclusive perks support the room experience, including dining, drinks, and the daily spa treatment on full days

BodyHoliday is the better pick if you want a comfortable base for a highly active, wellness-focused St. Lucia vacation.

Anse Chastanet Resort – Room Style

Anse Chastanet Resort delivers a more characterful room experience, with a strong connection to the surrounding hillside, sea, and tropical landscape. It is less about a standardized resort room and more about atmosphere.

  • Romantic, individually styled rooms with a natural Caribbean feel
  • Strong choice for travelers who care about views, privacy, and open-air ambience
  • Best for couples who want a room that feels tied to the landscape

If you want more architectural character, hillside romance, and a stronger sense of place, Anse Chastanet Resort has the edge.

Dining & Drinks: Wellness All-Inclusive vs Scenic Resort Dining

BodyHoliday – Restaurants & Bars

Dining at BodyHoliday is built into the all-inclusive experience, with a mix of healthy, indulgent, casual, and fine-dining options that fit a wellness-led vacation without making every meal feel restrictive.

Expect:

  • Cariblue for beachfront main dining with international and themed buffet-style meals
  • TAO for East-West fusion fine dining, plus Cariblue Windows for tasting-menu style evenings
  • Casual choices such as the Wellness Cafe, Pavilion Grill, Clubhouse Bar, and Piano Bar

Anse Chastanet Resort – Restaurants & Bars

Anse Chastanet Resort is more about setting and mood: unhurried meals, tropical surroundings, and dining that suits couples who want romance and scenery as much as variety.

  • Better for travelers who enjoy lingering over meals in a natural resort setting
  • Strong fit for honeymoon-style trips and quiet evenings
  • Ideal if dining atmosphere matters more than an activity-packed all-inclusive plan

If you want meals, drinks, and wellness programming bundled into one broad package, BodyHoliday is easier. If you want scenic, romantic resort dining, Anse Chastanet Resort feels more special.

Pools & Beach: Active Cariblue Beach vs Natural Soufrière Shoreline

BodyHoliday – Pool & Beach Scene

BodyHoliday’s beach scene is active and social, with Cariblue Beach, swimming pools, a beachfront Clubhouse area, and watersports woven into the all-inclusive experience.

  • Cariblue Beach location on St. Lucia’s northern coast
  • Watersports such as sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and windsurfing included
  • Best for travelers who want beach time mixed with fitness, spa, and activities

Anse Chastanet Resort – Pool & Beach Scene

Anse Chastanet Resort offers a more natural beach experience, especially appealing to travelers who want snorkeling, diving, and a quieter shoreline framed by St. Lucia’s southwest-coast scenery.

  • Stronger fit for snorkeling and diving-focused travelers
  • More secluded, nature-forward beach atmosphere
  • Better for couples who want scenery and calm over a busy activity schedule

If you want an active all-inclusive beach day, BodyHoliday wins; if you want a more dramatic natural shoreline and underwater appeal, Anse Chastanet Resort is the better choice.

Kids & Family: Teen-Friendly Wellness vs Quiet Older-Family Escape

BodyHoliday – Family Programming

BodyHoliday is an all-ages resort with a minimum-age policy of 12 and over, making it best for families with teens rather than families with young children. The resort also adds family wellness programming seasonally.

  • Minimum age of 12 years and over
  • WellFit Families programme during July and August
  • Good for active families with teens who want fitness, watersports, and wellness options

Anse Chastanet Resort – Family Programming

Anse Chastanet Resort is better suited to couples and older families who are comfortable with a quieter, more nature-focused resort stay rather than a full family-programming environment.

  • Best for older families who value beach, snorkeling, and scenery
  • More romantic and low-key than activity-club focused
  • Better for families who do not need young-child facilities or structured kids programming

If you are traveling with teens who want activities and wellness options, BodyHoliday is the stronger family fit. For a quieter older-family or couple-centered escape, Anse Chastanet Resort works better.
