It’s almost 40 years since BodyHoliday Saint Lucia opened in 1988. The trade-friendly resort was well ahead of the times, promoting health and wellness-focused holidays long before they exploded into a mainstream, multi-billion-pound industry.
As a third-generation hotelier, chief executive Andrew Barnard has served in the family business – Sunswept Resorts, which also includes StolenTime in Saint Lucia – for many years. He is now the driving force behind its international expansion, with the BodyHoliday Algarve due to open in 2029.
