BD TRAVEL FEATURE….NATURE-THEMED FAMILY HOLIDAYS AT CAP MAISON IN ST LUCIA

BY TIM HEDLEY, GROUP TRAVEL EDITOR

HOTELS with a variety of facilities and children’s clubs are the most popular Caribbean options for families. Cap Maison’s Villas gives the flexibility of a holiday utilising all the services of a luxury boutique resort whilst enjoying the privacy of a complete residence for a family.

Villas have superb master bedrooms with one or two additional double bedrooms interconnecting that can be furnished with twin beds to suit a family.

The hotel also offers a choice of two and three-bedroom villas that can be combined to accommodate up to 12 people.

All rooms are en-suite and come with large private balconies, ocean or garden views and a choice of a private pool. All this and a well-equipped kitchen and a dining and living room complete the picture.

With a wide variety of landscape, the island of Saint Lucia alone is abundant with activities, making for the ultimate children’s playground.

Situated at the northernmost point on the island, the luxury boutique resort also has the Cap Maison kids’ club, suitable for children ages 3 – 11 years and offers a wide range of both indoor and outdoor activities, movies, games and play areas, all under the supervision of a full-time experienced staff member.

The well-situated secluded sandy beach is set within a shallow cove and features its own water sports centre, ideal for thrill-seeking families who don’t wish to leave the resort.

The non-motorized water sport activities are plentiful and well suited to each family member to make for an exciting beach day. Hobie Cat sailboats, kayaks, snorkelling and windsurfing are just some of the many available options free for guest use.

The resort has also introduced a collection of family fun activities outside the hotel:
