Ti Kaye Resort & Spa is a small, adults-only, clifftop retreat on Saint Lucia's quiet west coast, above the beach of Anse Cochon in the Canaries district. It is a four-star property rated exceptionally by guests, who praise the staff, the food, the cleanliness and the secluded, peaceful setting. The rooms and cabins are scattered over a green hillside with sea views, and the beachfront has free cabanas and beach massages. Anse Cochon is known for calm water and for snorkeling and diving, so the resort suits couples who want to switch off and spend their days in the water. This is not a base for sightseeing in a hurry: it is a long drive from the airport and from most of the island's activities, and its charm is the quiet. It is best for honeymooners, anniversary trips and couples who want to unwind.
The rooms
The accommodation is made up of ocean-view rooms and romantic cabins, each of about 730 square feet with one bedroom. Choose from a king-bed ocean-view room, a two-queen ocean-view room, or a romantic cabin with an ocean view, with or without a private pool. Rooms are individually furnished, with air conditioning, ceiling fans, a laptop-friendly workspace, free Wi-Fi, a safe, a hair dryer, an electric kettle and a wardrobe. Cabins feel more private and romantic, and those with private pools are the resort's most sought-after rooms, so book early for the winter season.
Food, pool and wellness
Two restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with ocean views, there is a beach bar and a terrace, and a free breakfast buffet is included. All-inclusive rates are available on some dates at a higher price because they include onsite food and drink. The outdoor pool has free cabanas, loungers and umbrellas, the spa offers facials, reflexology and hydrotherapy in massage treatment rooms, and the 24-hour gym runs yoga classes.
There is also a library, a gift shop, a vegetable garden and an electric vehicle charging station. Nearby activities include scuba diving, boat tours, kayaking, snorkeling, sailing, hiking and horse riding, and the resort can help arrange tours.
What to know before you book
Remoteness is the main trade-off. It is about a 39-minute drive to Castries Central Market and nearly an hour to Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island, and the drive from Hewanorra airport takes around an hour and a half, so allow plenty of time on arrival and departure days. Some guests mention that the access road is steep and that a car is useful for exploring, so ask the resort about transfers.
The resort is adults-only, so it is not a family option. Check-in runs from 3 PM to 10 PM and check-out is at 11 AM, and pets are not allowed. Free self-parking is available. The setting is hillside, so ask about room location if stairs are a concern.
