Secrets St. Lucia is now open and bookable from 21,000 Hyatt points
The small Caribbean island of St. Lucia, known for its combination of relaxing beaches and rugged adventure opportunities, just got easier to visit for points enthusiasts. Hyatt's Secrets St. Lucia, featured on TPG's list of most exciting hotel openings in 2025, is now open and bookable with World of Hyatt points — and it's a great deal.
The new adults-only, all-inclusive resort sits on a stretch of private beach on St. Lucia's Choc Bay, between lush rainforest and the Caribbean Sea, promising to give guests access to the best of both worlds. Plus, there are plenty of activities on offer at the 30-acre property, including tennis and pickleball courts, beach volleyball, yoga, a jogging trail, windsurfing, sailboats, kayaks, and open-air entertainment.
Secrets St. Lucia is on the opposite side of the island from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) — but, thanks to the island's compact size, it only takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to drive between the two.
The resort comprises 355 modern, island-inspired guest rooms and suites with 24-hour room service and a daily refreshed minibar — all included in the nightly rate. The brand's "Unlimited-Luxury" guarantee means that virtually nothing, even alcohol, requires guests to open their wallets. Food is, of course, included as well — and Secrets St. Lucia has plenty of it, with nine restaurants with menus ranging from fresh-caught seafood to casual French cuisine to pan-Asian fusion.
How to book Secrets St. Lucia
Secrets St. Lucia is a Category C property. Per Hyatt's award chart, basic rooms cost 21,000 Hyatt points per night on off-peak dates, 25,000 points on standard dates and 29,000 points during peak travel times. Award stays include two guests; to add more, you'll pay an additional 10,500 to 14,500 points per person, per night.
With cash rates starting at $449 per night for two guests, that comes out to a value of 2.1 cents per point. Since TPG's June 2025 valuations peg World of Hyatt points at 1.7 cents each, this is a great way to spend your Hyatt points — or your Bilt Rewards Points or Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which transfer to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio.
The 355-room Secrets St. Lucia is the first Secrets resort to open its doors on the island, and the third property currently in the World of Hyatt program. The other two are the all-inclusive Zoetry Marigot Bay St. Lucia and the Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat, an adults-only Mr & Mrs Smith property.
