Bel Jou is a modern adult-only hotel with impressive views over the hills and coastline.

Perched on a hill above the capital Castries, Bel Jou is a modern adult-only hotel with impressive views over the hills and coastline. The hotel’s hillside location and lush surroundings create a relaxing setting for guests to unwind, while still within easy reach of restaurants and local amenities.

It has two pools, a rooftop terrace, gardens, a spa and 24-hour gym. There is a range of hotel and bungalow rooms with garden or ocean views, some with balconies and all equipped with air-con, cable TV, Wi-Fi and ensuite bathrooms with showers. As well as poolside and roof terrace bars, there are three restaurants serving a range of local and international dishes from buffet to fine dining.

Guests can also head to a nearby beach served by complimentary transfers with hotel loungers and bar service (operational hours and days vary).
