An adults-only, all-inclusive peninsula resort on Rodney Bay, with twelve restaurants and over-the-water bungalows.
The Setting
Sandals St. Lucia Grand Bay, formerly Sandals Grande St. Lucian, sits on its own peninsula on Rodney Bay in the north of Saint Lucia, with water views all the way round. Rodney Bay is known for the calmest water on the island. It is an adults-only resort designed for couples, and food, drinks, tips, taxes and gratuities are all part of the stay.
Rooms include over-the-water bungalows and beachfront Rondoval suites, and there are twelve restaurants to work through. That makes it one of the easiest places to run a wedding week, because guests have nothing to add up. Search under both names, as older reviews still use the old one.
The day itself
Sandals runs weddings across its resorts with a dedicated wedding planner, who helps you organise and complete the required documents. Sandals says a Saint Lucia marriage certificate takes six to eight weeks to come through, so build that into any plans for name changes or new passports.
The resort page does not list its ceremony spaces, so ask the team which venues Grand Bay offers. Grand Bay can host up to 300 guests, according to the resort. Ask also about the reception layout, dinner options and the music curfew. Remember the adults-only rule when you draw up the guest list.
Where your guests stay
Guests stay on site, and the all-inclusive format means there is nothing to settle at the end. Ask the team about room numbers and any minimum stay for a wedding group.
The resort is on Rodney Bay, near Reduit Beach, Pigeon Island and Gros Islet, whose Friday night street party is one of the best known in the Caribbean. Hewanorra International Airport is a 66 km scenic drive away, and transfers between the airport and the resort are complimentary whichever room you book.
Ask your Sandals planner to start the paperwork early, as the Saint Lucia certificate takes six to eight weeks to arrive. With twelve restaurants, give each night of the wedding week its own feel.
