The BodyHoliday, St. Lucia’s premiere all-inclusive resort dedicated to health and well-being, today begins a $20 million renovation, to be completed in late September 2011. Between July and September, The BodyHoliday will be closed to guests in order to complete a series of upgrades designed to maintain the level of excellence that the resort is known for. The extensive renovation will unveil significant updates to the resort’s public spaces and dining venues, a new infinity-edge swimming pool and boardwalk, and an expanded Watersports Center. True to The BodyHoliday’s promise of “Give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind!”, the renovation will upgrade the resort’s offerings to further rejuvenate and revitalize each and every guest. The resort embodies the concept of a vacation for the body–offering relaxation, restorative beauty, exercise and diet.

Τhis project has opened up the resort to its inspiring surroundings while preserving its unique Caribbean style that has made it a favorite of travelers to St. Lucia. To that end, the resort tapped noted design firm International Design Concepts to shape a setting that relies as much on innovation as tradition.  The renovation will transform the public areas into a stylish haven for socializing, fine dining, and relaxation, and also add on an extraordinary Penthouse Suite to the current guest room options.

“Our decision to renovate the property was motivated by requests for upgraded and expanded facilities from guests of the resort,” said Craig Barnard, owner of The BodyHoliday. “We are fortunate to have a large percentage of repeat guests, and we are excited for them to experience the resort after the renovation is complete. We listened to their feedback and are very proud to invest in maintaining our world-class standards of excellence.We know they will be delighted with the results.”
