St. Lucia’s Sapphire Sands Villas set to open February 2026

Bay Gardens Resorts Group has announced the upcoming debut of Sapphire Sands Villas, a new beachfront villa retreat set in Rodney Bay Village.

Slated to open in February 2026, the property places guests on Reduit Beach, known for its calm waters, golden shoreline, and sunsets over nearby Pigeon Island.

The hotel, which has 24/7 butler service, offers nine three-bedroom villas totalling 27 keys, each of which can be converted into one-, two- or three-bedroom accommodations.

They feature fully equipped kitchens, spacious living rooms, contemporary finishes, sweeping oceanfront views, and private balconies. Select ground-floor villas also include private plunge pools, perfect for a secluded dip just steps from the beach.

“We look forward to welcoming guests to a new kind of Bay Gardens experience at Sapphire Sands Villas, one that is relaxed and deeply connected to the beauty of Saint Lucia,” said Daryl Aaron, general manager for Sapphire Sands Villas, in a press release. “Our vision is to create a place where guests can feel at home, enjoy the warmth of our island hospitality, and build memories that will stay with them long after their visit.”

Flavourful & fresh cuisine

At the waterfront Asian-Caribbean fusion restaurant, Kimchi & Kalaloo, guests will enjoy bold seafood alongside sweeping views of Reduit Beach. It also features the island’s only authentic Korean barbecue experience.

Celebrating global influences while staying rooted in local tradition, evenings invite guests to linger over shared plates, good company and a laid-back island ambiance.

Wellness flows naturally at the resort, whether it’s starting the day with sunrise yoga in an open-air pavilion, unwinding at the boutique spa, or staying energized at the state-of-the-art fitness center.

With six treatment rooms and therapies ranging from aromatherapy massages to luxurious body treatments, the spa provides a calming retreat just moments from the beach.

Kids can explore and play at the lively Coral Kidz Club, complimentary for children ages 4-12.

Families can also enjoy unlimited complimentary access to Splash Island Waterpark, the island’s only open-water inflatable park. 

For those who love the water, there are motorized and non-motorized sports, from paddleboarding and kayaking to Hobie Cat sailing.

Parents seeking a little time to themselves can take advantage of babysitting services, available for a small fee.

Through the exclusive “Stay at 1, Play at 5” program, guests of Sapphire Sands Villas also enjoy full access to all facilities across Bay Gardens Resorts’ sister properties, expanding their vacation with additional pools, a variety of dining options and nightly entertainment.

To celebrate its debut, Sapphire Sands Villas is offering up to 25 per cent off all room categories for early bookings made now through Jan. 31, 2026.

The offer is valid for travel from February through May 7, 2026.
