The Body Holiday at LeSport
Welcome to the first lasting holiday – the first holiday in the world to combine the intense pleasure of personalised rejuvenation with the opportunity to acquire skills and insights that will enhance the rest of your life.
Much of what you take away from The BodyHoliday will help you achieve a better quality of life at home. You will not only enjoy a feeling of total relaxation while you are with us; you will receive the tools to better your life in general, from such things as an improvement in your golf swing to small wisdoms, useful practices and lasting knowledge that will help you lead a more fulfilling life.
In effect, The BodyHoliday is not a single experience. You can tailor an impressive arsenal of holiday pursuits (from Scuba to exotic Ayurvedic treatments) to fulfil your specific needs and expectations.
European readers of Condé Nast Traveller recently named The BodyHoliday the Number One Destination Spa in the world and one of the 100 Best Of The Best in Travel. As flattering as that may be, guests tell us we are far more than a spa. They say we’re a lot more fun than a dedicated spa and that the appeal of the holiday is found in our unique combination of pursuits that goes beyond the narrow confines of a pure health orientation. The BodyHoliday imposes nothing on you. It’s about your choice of pleasure in the here and now and how far you want to go to acquire the kinds of benefits that last a lot longer than a nice tan.
We know that you’ll find it’s all a body could ask for and have created this site to help you to create and to discover the unique experience you long for on your well deserved holiday in St. Lucia.
Give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind.
Pampering Holiday
There is no question, that all of us, at some point in our lives, adore to be pampered.
Today, the spa industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the leisure world, as more and more people discover the delights of massage. People love to be spoiled and pampered and with today’s fast pace of living, to be massaged or to be given a facial or to indulge in the restorative qualities of Thalassotheraphy.
At the Body Holiday, guests discover enormous value in finding that a delightful range of body treats is scheduled for them at no extra charge. Restorative and rejuvenating treatments that sooth away the tensions of the fast lane and completely relax you, become part of an incredible holiday of health and well being.
You will also find an “Institut Clarins” and a programme of Indian Ayurvedic treatments that you can purchase to supplement your BodyHoliday treats.
While on a Pampering Holiday, we suggest that you take in a daily dose of Hatha Yoga, Meditation and Tai Chi. A different activity begins practically every half hour, and you are free to wander into whichever one you feel.
Your Pampering Holiday includes our menu of services; inclusive body and skin treatments. To complement these, we suggest our A La Carte holistic cares.
Indulge yourself in The Ayurveda Abhyanga synchronised massage where two therapists massage your body simultaneously. This massage also includes lymphatic drainage and acu-pressure facial and head massage.

Body and skin treatments suggested are not included in your BodyHoliday. Please note that the above suggestions are what we think will complement The BodyHoliday to give you a Pampering Holiday. While at The BodyHoliday you are free to chose as many activities as you wish. There is no need to schedule any of the activities mentioned above. Most activities are walk in sessions. (You will be provided with a weekly activities schedule on arrival.) Also, note that we cannot schedule your individual cabin treatments around suggested clas activities. You will need to build your Pampering Holiday around your inclusive treatment schedule.
The Treatments
As you walk up the steps to The Oasis, be prepared to discover an architectural surprise unlike any other you are likely to find in the Caribbean. Some guests compare The Oasis to the Alhambra in Spain, which was built by the Moors a few hundred years ago. Others see a deep Indian influence. All are deeply affected by the peace and tranquillity of its symmetrically ornate design of arches, pillars, pools, and pavilions contained in secluded courtyards that overlooks the sea.
And if at first you are surprised by how The Oasis looks, you will be astonished by what goes on behind its closed doors. It is here that the pleasure principle basks in the fountain of well-being. As you put your body into the care of highly skilled hands, you finally understand what it fells like to be rejuvenated! As one guest said, “The Oasis treatments stimulate the senses. It’s a little like peeling away the layers of an onion to get to the core. You feel physically and emotionally reborn!”
Some guests experience such a relief from stresses and strains that they actually weep with pleasure. Others write to tell us that when they continue a massage programme at home, they are always indelibly transported back to the feeling of the Oasis.
A schedule of inclusive body treatments is prepared for you prior to your arrival at The BodyHoliday. If you have any preferences, please contact The BodyHoliday Specialist via your web room after you have booked your BodyHoliday. Almost all of the body treats and treatments are given at no charge, but there may be a few exceptions. One is the Ayurvedic massage, which comes in four parts and can take up to three hours. It requires the special skills of two therapists working together -- one starting at your head and the other at your feet until they meet in the middle. While they do their magic, warm aromatic oil drops on your forehead. The emotional and physical benefits of this ultimate performance releases your inner self in a way that must be experienced rather than described. (One guest says that she is sure “this is what a flight of doves being released from captivity to soar skyward in celebration of a freed spirit must feel.” We, resist being quite so poetic!)
Every one of our 35 massage and beauty specialists is a highly trained professional.
Your BodyHoliday includes a selection of spa treatments from the following menu of services. You will receive one 50 min rejuvenating Spa treatment every day of your stay with us except on the days of arrival and departure. Your schedule will include a randomly selected array of as many treatments from the inclusive menu as your stay allows. If you would like to receive any additional treatments from the inclusive menu or repeat a treatment, a supplementary charge will apply.
You can pre-book your selection of treatments by emailing The BodyHoliday Specialist through your web room at least TWO WEEKS prior to your arrival. We require at least TWO WEEKS in order to accommodate preferences or special requests which you may have. Though the order of your request and the times are not guaranteed all efforts will be made to accomodate you. If your preferences are not received TWO WEEKS before you arrive, a hand picked schedule will be prepared for you by our Oasis Spa. This schedule can only be changed subject to certain medical conditions and availability.
