SPA MAISON
Situated in the Main House at Cap Maison, Spa Maison offers an opportunity to indulge yourself and to be pampered. Spa Maison has chosen Sothys as their product house, a French company which has 60 years of experience in the beauty industry, and can only be used by professionally trained therapists. With patented formulas and specially developed Digi-Esthetique techniques to help increase the penetration of the product, Spa Maison is able to offer the highest quality treatments. Spa Maison has chosen their therapists for their experience and that bit extra - magic and healing in their hands, which makes our memorable treatments the best on island, leaving you with a feeling of total self indulgence! Treatments can be taken if you wish in your suite or room, on your terrace, on Rock Maison or under a gazebo in the garden - the choice is yours. Spa Maison also offers treatments for men, see the menu! From time to time we can offer other treatments from visiting therapists such as reflexology and shiatsu. On the terrace outside you may relax afterwards, and watch the birds and trees, whilst sipping a tisane or cold drink.


GYMNASIUM
If you wish to maintain your fitness regime or simply enjoy a holiday workout, our well-equipped gym offers a cross-trainer, exercise bike, treadmills, resistance machines and classes including yoga. Personal trainers are also available for more individualized programs.


IN THE SWIM OF THINGS
Pools....Galore
At Cap Maison, whilst you may have the luxury of your own private pool, there is also a series of infinity pools and a Jacuzzi by the cliff's edge, where food and drinks flow. Our guests tend to gravitate here at sunset. Another quieter pool is within the Spanish style courtyard, accessed through a brick barrel-vaulted walkway.


SMUGGLERS COVE BEACH

Enchanting Smugglers Cove beach nestles below the resort, accessed by stairs. This offers safe bathing (in Bombay Sapphire-clear waters) and the best snorkeling in the north of the island. Cap Maison guests may use the loungers and towels, and the beach bar is open from 10am each day.


ON ISLAND
St.Lucia is renowned for its unique diving experiences. We can direct you to several dive companies. Kite surfing has also become popular in St. Lucia, with world championships being held in the south of the island, and one of the best sites is five minutes away from Cap Maison.


WATER SPORTS
At the beach club at Smugglers Cove you will find non-motorized water-sports - kayaks, Hobi cats, snorkeling and windsurfers. Usage is free for our guests, and if you wish to book motorized water-sports such as water-skiing or ride the banana boat, we can arrange this for you.
Cap Maison has its own handsome 46' Sea Ray motor launch - Cap Maison I, which may be chartered privately by Cap Maison guests. The expansive foredeck is wonderful for island viewing and sunbathing, whilst the generous aft deck pulls out to make a double couch. Inside there are 2 double cabins and a fully equipped galley and salon, all air conditioned, with cherry wood mouldings and soft decor. The ultimate in comfort, guests can take a day cruise down the west coast of the island - if you have not seen St.Lucia from the sea you have missed one of the most beautiful sights in the world. You can either visit one of the local restaurants en route, or have our chef prepare something for you to be served on board. Sunset cruises may also be booked, and the crossing to Martinique for a fabulous lunchtime culinary trip takes between 1 and 2 hours depending on the weather. The ultimate trip, however, is a 3 day cruise down to the world famous Grenadine islands. Cap Maison 1 adds a completely different dimension to your stay, and can be pre-booked.
