Rendezvous is the world's first boutique hotel for couples.
Nestled in seven acres of lush tropical gardens on the
two mile stretch Malabar Beach, couples can experience the
intimate surroundings of this elegant all-inclusive resort.
Located on the north west coast of St Lucia, the resort is
two miles from the Capital City Castries and George F L
Charles Airport (also known as Vigie SLU) and on
e hour and
fifteen minutes from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF).
The site of the resort was once a vast coconut estate where
over thirty years ago a St Lucian Planter by the name of
Dennis Barnard built his family home on Malabar Beach.
Shortly there afterwards the house was extended to include
twenty bedrooms catering to the transient commercial traveler.
It was then called the Malabar Beach Hotel. Over the years
the hotel grew and in August 1983 the Barnard family took out
a franchise and the Malabar Beach Hotel become Couples St Lucia
an all-inclusive for holidaymakers. In April 1993 the Couples
franchise ended and the resort reverted to the direct leader-
ship of Craig Barnard and Rendezvous, The Escape for Romantics
was born.
