Choosing where to stay in Saint Lucia can be difficult. Even though it is a small island, it has contrasting regions. The north of St. Lucia is different from the south creating two very atmospheres. We are here to help you decide which side of Saint Lucia is best for your vacation.

We stayed on both sides of St. Lucia and loved both. In fact, we suggest splitting your vacation between the north and south of Saint Lucia. But more on that later. For now let’s look into what each side of the island has to offer.

What Side of the Island to Stay on in St. Lucia – North or South

Choosing which part of Saint. Lucia to stay on depends on your taste and what atmosphere you are looking for. The North is a great choice for families and people looking for nightlife, while the South is perfect for romantic escapes and honeymoons.

Below, we break down the resorts and the attractions to help you make your decision and the most of your trip to St. Lucia.

The North – Saint Lucia Nightlife and Beaches

The north side of St. Lucia is located near the capital city of Castries. This is where you’ll find the bars and nightlife, restaurants, and a huge choice of all-inclusive resorts and hotels in St. Lucia. Make sure to check out the current safety situation in St. Lucia before booking your accommodations.

The north is also where the cruise ships come into port, and it is the busier part of the island. This is the most popular area in Saint Lucia, with resorts lining Marigot Bay to the south and Rodney Bay to the north of the capital.

The north is a good place to choose in St. Lucia if you are looking for beach activities and nightlife. There are plenty of places to go, bar hopping along the beach, and lots of restaurants to choose from. It is also a good choice for families compared to the more private resorts in the south.

The Rodney Bay waters are calm and inviting for watersports and there are plenty of places to go snorkeling right off the shore.

The north has a lot of family-friendly hotels and all-inclusive resorts. There are dedicated restaurant, bar and shopping zones, and long white sand beaches.
