Capella Marigot Bay Resort and Marina continues to redefine the marriage between sea and land-based experience with luxury and a choice of facilities that offer authentic Saint Lucian culture, cuisine and traditions blended seamlessly with outstanding service.

The Capella Resort sits decisively in Marigot Bay – one of the most exclusive yachting ports in the Caribbean and commands quite rightly the attention of some of the world’s most stunning yachts, their sailors and celebrity figures.

Both the hotel and marina have realized considerable growth over the past several years with its combined facilities of a premier berthing place, majestic natural island beauty and outstanding accommodation.

Capella itself brings to sailors and land travelers world-class indoor and outdoor experiences with panoramic views of the Marigot Bay hurricane hole, embracing the community’s tropical greenery and uninterrupted bay views. It has 57 suites — many with private hot tubs — and 67 guest rooms featuring expansive balconies and breathtaking views of the bay.

Residents of the community have reaped considerable gains since the development of The Marina and construction of Capella. The latter had in 2014 initiated plans to further amplify its initial operation since its rebranding from Discovery Hotel, to the more than 120 guest rooms and suites present today. It had also installed then a rooftop restaurant and Rum Cave that features an assortment of local rums in a “warm, relaxed cave-like space.”

Most of Capella’s activity offerings to guests are interlinked with community culture and are lead by strong community-born personalities. Among these are a host of Capella signature activities that take place within the Bay and around the immediate community. It also offers cruises and sailing lead by avid community sailors, golfing, hiking, island adventures, swimming and beach excursions and a list of children targeted activities.

The property and marina’s economic contribution to the Marigot community continues to resonate throughout almost every household with employment either directly or indirectly created since the development of both The Marina and the hotel.
