Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) this week announced the opening of Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia, part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. The resort marks the Zoëtry’s debut into the destination of St. Lucia situated in the Lesser Antilles of the Windward Islands.
Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia’s exclusive setting, among the mountains and marina, allows guests to arrive in true elegance, with options that include a private yacht, helicopter transfer or deluxe vehicle. Instantly, guests are immersed in a tranquil retreat that the brand’s signature Endless Privileges experience offers, including an assortment of à la carte food and beverage options, elevated service levels and amenities, and enrichment experiences. Perched above the scenic hillside and central to the resort experience is a spacious tree house, where guests are invited to participate in expert-led wellness sessions and indulge in private dinners. Steps away, guests can meander through the trails of the Alexandria Garden walled with crisp, green palms and blossoming flowers, or simply unwind in their luxurious private residences or suites, where they can intimately enjoy peaceful views of the natural beauty that St. Lucia offers.
“St. Lucia’s beautiful Caribbean landscape is a natural fit for the Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts brand, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the hotel owner to bring this new idyllic vacation option to the island,” says Gonzalo del Peón, Group President of AMResorts Americas & Global Commercial. “The Inclusive Collection’s entry into St. Lucia reflects our commitment to grow in markets that matter most to our guests, World of Hyatt members and customers.”
Erica Doyne, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing & Communications, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt shares, “Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia is intended to create a guest experience that cultivates moments which matter most, from personal enrichment experiences to holistic wellbeing programming for self-fulfillment that extends beyond the journey. The Zoëtry brand’s philosophy of the ‘Art of Life,’ blends the Greek word Zoe, or life, and Poetry, or artful creations, and is expected to deliver guests unhurried pleasures with the highest level of personal service.”
The resort is located on one of the most desirable marinas of Marigot Bay, giving guests the freedom to discover the wonders of St. Lucia with easy access to top attractions such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) protected jewels; Gros Piton and Petit Piton volcanic mountainous areas; historic landmarks including Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens; and one-of-a-kind experiences like the drive-in La Soufrière, the highest volcanic mountain in the Lesser Antilles.
