Way back in 1990 I was a solo visitor to Le Sport in St Lucia. It's on my travel wish list as the place I would like to return to (I'm thinking a holiday for our anniversary next April might be nice...). I also read recently that Kira Bowie, a lady here in Aberdeen who runs pilates classes and who I bought my MBT trainers from, teaches a few weeks a year at Le Sport as a Master of Pilates.
A brief search of the internet after that found the website for Le Sport - they have certainly added to the resort over the years and it looks very impressive. When I was there I particularly liked the Oasis, which is the Spa which stands on a hill overlooking the hotel. It is moorish in design (see photo) and is a haven of tranquility. Since I was there they have added to their list of treatments and therapies. They now have a resident doctor of holistic medicine who is available for consultation and individual treatments which work with the body, breath, mind and soul. They also offer ayurveda therapies and a series of holistic practices encompassing yoga, meditation, massage and detoxification. Add to that the healing arts of Kinesiology and Iridiology, a specialist skin clinic, a whole range of fitness classes, a gym, massage rooms, nude sun deck, meditation temple, not to mention the incredible list of heavenly face and body treatments, and it's no wonder that this resort was recently named as the number one destination spa in the world by readers of Conde Nast Traveller.
The tag on their website says "give us your body for a week and we will give you back your mind". I'm having to hold myself back from booking this holiday right now.
Oh it is! The resort is in the north of St Lucia, one of the windward islands in the Caribbean. The Cricket World Cup is being played in the Caribbean right now - I'm not actually watching the cricket, I'm just enjoying all the sights and sounds of these wonderful islands!

Hi Jennifer,
This sounds heavenly!
I would LOVE to go there. What country is it in?
Is it near the ocean?
