Why guests choose Cap Maison

Cap Maison is a 5-star, family-owned boutique resort positioned on the cliffs above its own secluded sandy beach in Cap Estate — one of the most desirable corners of the island. The architecture takes its cues from a Spanish hacienda: whitewashed two-storey buildings, Mexican hand-painted tiles, jalousie shutters, cedarwood flooring, and balustrades draped in tropical foliage.

It’s a Relais & Châteaux property — the only one of its kind in this part of Saint Lucia — and consistently described as one of the best ‘foodie’ hotels on the island. Two on-site restaurants are run by Welsh-born, Michelin-trained Executive Chef Craig Jones, who’s been in residence since 2008 and was named Caribbean Chef of the Year. Add a walk-in wine cellar, the resort’s own Cap Maison rum, a champagne zip line that connects the Cliff Bar to a private dining deck on a rock in the sea, and you have one of the most distinctive dining setups in the Caribbean.

Despite the polish, Cap Maison is genuinely family-friendly. The Spanish Courtyard suites and multi-bedroom villas are designed to suit families, with full kitchens, courtyard pools that parents can supervise from the balcony, and rollaway beds available for children. Couples and honeymooners get the romance — families get the space.

Oasis Guestroom

Oasis Guestroom | 2BR

Approximate size: 900 – 1,000 sq ft

Best for: Small families or two-couple groups wanting connected rooms

A two-bedroom configuration of the Oasis Guestroom, useful for small families or two couples traveling together who want two bedrooms without committing to a full villa footprint.

Coastline Deluxe Room

Setting: Closer to the beach and main resort facilities

Best for: Couples who want easy beach access and to minimize hillside shuttle reliance

A refreshed deluxe room category positioned closer to the beach and main resort spine. Useful for guests prioritizing flat-walk access to dining and the pool.

Coastline Suite (1BR)

Approximate size: 900 – 1,000 sq ft

A one-bedroom oceanfront suite with separate living space and a beach-proximate location.

Coastline Suite | 2BR

Two-bedroom oceanfront suite layout — a strong middle-ground for families who want suite space, ocean views, and easy beach access without the steeper hillside walk.

One Bedroom Hilltop Villa

Approximate size: 1,800 – 2,000 sq ft

Best for: Couples wanting a full villa footprint with hilltop views

The entry-tier hilltop villa — a generous one-bedroom layout with a full kitchen, separate living and dining space, and a terrace with sweeping bay views. Shuttle service runs 24 hours to get you up and down the hill.

Two Bedroom Hilltop Villa

Best for: Families or two-couple groups wanting full villa space with hilltop views

Formerly known as the Oceanview Two-Bedroom Villa. A two-bedroom layout with multi-level decks, full kitchen, and bay views from the hillside.

Hilltop Pool Villa | 2BR

Approximate size: 2,300 – 2,400 sq ft

Best for: Couples or families wanting a private plunge pool plus two bedrooms

Two-bedroom hilltop villa with the addition of a private plunge pool on the terrace — one of the most popular categories at the resort because it pairs the residential feel of a villa with a private pool just outside the door.

Hilltop Pool Villa | 3BR

Approximate size: 2,300 – 3,400 sq ft

Best for: Larger families or multi-couple groups who want a private pool and three bedrooms

Three-bedroom layout with private plunge pool, sized to suit larger families, multi-generational stays, or three couples traveling together.

Hilltop Pool Villa | 4BR

Approximate size: 3,600 – 4,200 sq ft

The four-bedroom hilltop villa is one of the largest single-villa footprints at the resort, with a private plunge pool, multi-level decks, and bay views. Particularly useful for big families and small celebrations.

The Manor Collection

The Manor Collection is the resort’s top tier of multi-bedroom hillside villas — a curated set of named manors (Presidential, Prime Minister, Royal, Duke’s, Governor, and Queen’s), each individually styled and outfitted. They typically pair larger footprints with private pools, multiple decks, and the most expansive views on the property. Best used for milestone celebrations, multi-generational family stays, and groups wanting a dedicated ‘house’ rather than a series of rooms. Configurations vary by manor — InterStays can help match the right manor to your group size and travel dates.

Ocean Point Residences (2BR & 3BR)

Approximate size: 2BR: 2,000 – 2,100 sq ft (3BR larger)

Setting: Brand-new beachfront — the most contemporary accommodations at the resort

Best for: Travelers who want the resort’s facilities with the most refined, beach-chic interiors and no hilltop shuttle dependency

The Ocean Point Residences are the newest accommodations at Windjammer Landing — opened as part of the $50 million renovation. The two- and three-bedroom layouts feature contemporary beach-chic design and direct beachfront positioning. Travelers tell us this is the sweet spot for guests who want the resort experience but prefer a more polished, residential aesthetic and full beach access.

Windjammer Landing operates seven on-property restaurants and five bars, designed to give guests genuine variety over a week-long stay. All venues are available to guests on the Premium All-Inclusive Plan, with à la carte ordering (no buffets dictate your evening). Some dishes may carry an additional charge.

Dragonfly

Cuisine: International / Caribbean coastal, with seafood and sushi at dinner

Setting: Beachfront with a verandah and air-conditioned interior; also home to The Perch terrace

Hours: Breakfast (typically buffet 7:30 AM – 11:00 AM); à la carte dinner (typically 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM)

Theme nights: Caribbean Buffet (Tuesdays), Fish Fry Friday, and others on rotation

Dragonfly is the resort’s main restaurant — open for breakfast and dinner, with ocean views and a breeze coming off the bay. The dinner menu emphasizes coastal cuisine, seafood, and sushi specialties. The Perch sits above Dragonfly as a more relaxed beachside extension.

Jammers Beach Bar & Grill

Cuisine: Caribbean beach grill — local specialties, burgers, salads, soups, late-night menu

Setting: Casually elegant beachside under a sheltered deck

Hours: Lunch (typically 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM), dinner (5:00 PM – 10:00 PM), late-night menu (10:00 PM – 12:30 AM)

Jammers is the resort’s all-day beachside spot — recently refreshed. The menu runs from burgers and salads through local specialties like West Indian chicken and goat roti, plus Chef Munn’s signature shrimp creole. Live music plays from the beach gazebo most evenings.

Embers

Cuisine: Beachfront BBQ and grill; signature JA Wrap, fish tacos, and the Embers Burger

Setting: Right on the crescent beach

Hours: Lunch (typically 11:30 AM – 4:00 PM)

Embers is the relaxed lunch spot on the beach — island-casual atmosphere, grill specialties, and a Sunday brunch buffet. Toppers Ice Cream Shack is steps away with house-made ice cream, sorbets, and smoothies (complimentary on the all-inclusive plan).

Masala at Embers

Cuisine: Contemporary Indian

Setting: Evenings at Embers, transformed into an Indian dining room

Masala layers a contemporary Indian menu — aromatic curries, traditional preparations with creative twists — over the Embers space in the evenings. A favorite with returning guests.

Papa Don’s

Cuisine: Mediterranean trattoria — Italian, Greek, and regional specialties

Setting: Hillside terrace overlooking the island pool

Hours: Dinner only (typically 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM)

Papa Don’s is the hillside Mediterranean restaurant — long known for pasta and pizza, with Chef Munn’s expanded menu now reaching across Italy, Greece, and the wider Mediterranean. Signature dish: the Moroccan Roasted Dorado with lime-honey-yogurt sauce, pomegranate syrup, and couscous. The terrace setting at sunset makes it one of the resort’s most popular date-night options.

Upper Deck

Cuisine: Fine-dining steak and seafood — Angus beef, fresh fish, multiple preparations

Setting: Intimate, multi-level setting overlooking the beach and bay

Hours: Dinner only (typically 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM or later)

Reservations: Essential

Upper Deck is the resort’s premium dining room — quieter, more refined, and reserved for steak and seafood at dinner. The multi-level layout and Caribbean sunset views are part of the draw, but the kitchen is the headline. A standing favorite for honeymoon and anniversary dinners.

The Perch at Dragonfly

The Perch is a relaxed terrace concept at Dragonfly — beachside charm with luxurious comfort, designed for sunset cocktails, small bites, and slower evenings.

Bars

• 96 Degrees in the Shade Beach Bar — beachside cocktails
• Embers Bar — drinks on the sand
• The Perch — sunset cocktails and small plates above Dragonfly
• Jammers Bar — exotic cocktails alongside live music in the evenings
• Lobby and pool bars — additional drinks service across the property

Private and in-villa dining

Private dining options include beach gazebo setups and in-villa chef experiences. 24-hour in-villa dining is also available. Plant-based options and allergy-friendly dishes are offered across every restaurant.

Windjammer Landing offers an optional Premium All-Inclusive Plan as an upgrade from room-only or B&B rates. It’s à la carte across all seven restaurants — no buffets dictating your evening — and grants access to premium liquors at all five resort bars.

What the Premium All-Inclusive includes

• À la carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner across all seven restaurants
• Premium liquors at all five resort bars
• House wines by the glass, beer, and cocktails
• In-villa dining (selected items) plus soft drinks and beers
• Snacks and dishes at Toppers Ice Cream Shack
• Resort water sports program

Practical notes

• Plan must be purchased for a minimum of three consecutive nights
• All occupants of the unit must be on the same meal plan
• Children’s pricing applies for guests aged 4–11
• Subject to 10% service fee and 7% government VAT
• Reservations may be required at some restaurants; some dishes may incur an additional charge

Tip: travelers consistently report that the all-inclusive plan delivers strong value at Windjammer Landing. Off-plan pricing for food and drinks can add up quickly, so for stays of three nights or longer, the math tends to favor the plan.

Serenity Spa

Serenity Spa was rebuilt as part of the $50 million renovation and is positioned as the resort’s wellness centerpiece. The menu blends traditional treatments — Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massages — with modern rituals, facials, body wraps and scrubs, and couples’ treatments. Treatments can also be arranged poolside, beachside, or in your villa.

Spa facilities

• Multiple treatment rooms including couples’ rooms
• Eucalyptus steam room
• Relaxation lounge
• Full-service salon (hair and nails)

Fitness & active programming

The fitness facility was also refreshed during the renovation. The gym runs 24 hours, has spacious equipment areas, and includes Peloton bikes. Two Astroturf tennis courts are available with complimentary lighting for evening play. Daily fitness programming includes Hummingbird yoga at sunrise, aqua aerobics, bocce ball tournaments, and cooking classes.

The beach

Windjammer Landing has 64,000 square feet of crescent-shaped white-sand beach on Labrelotte Bay — a calm, sheltered cove. The beach was expanded as part of the renovation and is well shaded with palapas, umbrellas, and loungers. Travelers consistently note that finding a lounger is easy here, even at peak season — atypical for Caribbean all-inclusives at this scale. Floating trampolines and water slides off the beach are complimentary.

Pools

• Six swimming pools in total across the property
• Two pools dedicated to children
• A relaxing Jacuzzi
• Many villas also have their own private plunge pools
• In-water hammocks at the main pool — one of the resort’s signature features

Complimentary water sports

• Stand-up paddleboarding
• Windsurfing
• Hobie Cat sailing
• Banana boat rides and tube rides

Motorized water sports (additional charge)

9. Families & Kids

Windjammer Landing is one of the most genuinely family-friendly luxury resorts in Saint Lucia. The all-inclusive plan, villa accommodations with full kitchens, and the breadth of supervised programming make it especially well-suited to multi-generational stays and families with kids across multiple age bands.

Jaquot Kids Club

• For children ages 4–12
• Themed days and nights (Pajama Night, Pirates Night, and rotating themes)
• Mini Zoo visits, reggae dance lessons, arts and crafts
• Pizza parties, coconut bowling, and other resort favorites

Teens

• Dedicated Teen Club programming
• Bonfire nights, karaoke, land and water activities

Practical family notes

• Children aged 4 and under welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at the Kids Club
• Multi-bedroom villas with full kitchens make longer stays easy
• 24-hour internal shuttle service simplifies moving around with kids

Couples & honeymoons

Despite its strong family appeal, Windjammer Landing has a serious romantic side. Honeymoon and couples programming includes private beach gazebo dinners, in-villa spa treatments for two, sunset cocktails at The Perch, and the more intimate evening setting at Upper Deck. The ‘Ultimate Barefoot Luxury Romance’ Premium All-Inclusive package is built specifically for couples.

Weddings

The resort hosts destination weddings across multiple venues — the crescent beach, hillside gazebos with bay views, and private terraces at the villas. Wedding packages can be scaled from intimate elopements through larger group celebrations. The on-site events team handles everything from licensing through reception planning.

11. Groups & Events

Windjammer Landing accommodates corporate retreats, multi-family trips, and milestone group celebrations. The Manor Collection and multi-bedroom villas are particularly useful for buyouts, where groups can take a ‘house’ on the hillside rather than scattered rooms. Indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, a private dining team, and dedicated group services round it out. Request for proposals can be submitted through the resort or arranged through InterStays.
