St Lucia-bound this spring or summer? If you haven’t booked a hotel yet, consider Windjammer Landing, the Castries all-inclusive villa resort currently being spiffed up to the tune of $33 million dollars.

So far 19 beach villas have been refreshed; 16,000 feet of beachfront has been added; and there are three new in-water hammocks for leisurely hang time.

In May, a new spa opens with six treatment suites and a juice bar, and a new gym and yoga deck will also make their debut.
