Get simply romantic this winter

Nestled on St Lucia’s scenic west coast, Marigot Bay’s crystal waters and lush leafy hillsides have made it one of the most romantic destinations in the world. This idyllic bay, described as “the most beautiful in the Caribbean” by novelist James A Michener, is the ideal setting for postcard perfect sunsets and romantic rendezvous.

The magical and intimate Discovery at Marigot Bay resort and spa has a Simply Romantic Winter Break providing an ideal escape for couples wishing to trade grey skies and dropping temperatures for the cerulean waters and waving palms of the Caribbean.

Opened late 2006 and a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World, Discovery enchants guests with 57 one, two and three bedroom suites carved into the hillside with dramatic views of the sea and beautiful yachts in the bay below. The interiors are stylish and contemporary with every possible modern amenity, from complimentary WiFi and flat screen televisions, to king size pillow top beds and 300 thread-count Egyptian Cotton sheets.

Couples can start as they mean to go on with an ultra-relaxing hour-long couple’s massage—al fresco in a bayside Zen Garden cabana, or in air-conditioned comfort at the world class Lapli Spa.

A half day cruising to the world famous Pitons on board a private boat and snorkelling in the clear waters of the coastal marine parks is also included.

To cap off a perfect day there’s an intimate three course dinner a deux surrounded by the boughs of a fragrant almond tree in Discovery’s rustic tree house complete with a dedicated server and personalized menu.

But the attractions don’t end there. This Simply Romantic Winter break also includes a sunset horseback ride for two splashing through the surf at a nearby beach, and of course, a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne on arrival.

To make it a break to remember, guests can book a spacious penthouse suite complete with wrap-around deck, private balcony off the bedroom, and their own plunge pool.

Discovery at Marigot Bay (discoverystlucia.com) offers the 5 night Simply Romantic Winter Break in a Bay View Room from $2,599, based on two adults sharing, B&B. The special package rates represent a discount of up to 22% over the full price if the attractions and accommodation were booked separately.

The Simply Romantic Winter Break is available from November 8, 2008 to April 18, 2009 with festive season black-out dates from December 22, 2008 to January 4, 2009.
