Perched on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean, Sandals Regency La Toc is known for its dramatic setting, spectacular suites, and stunning sunsets. It’s our personal favorite and the most affordable Sandals in St. Lucia. The water can be rough at times, so watersports may require a quick shuttle ride to Grande.

- Half-mile private beach with golden sand
- 9 restaurants and 8 bars
