Once the New Year celebrations are over the January blues soon set in as everyone returns to normality post the festivities, however in 2009, The Landings St Lucia, a luxury RockResort in the Caribbean, will be offering travellers the chance to escape to tranquil surrounds and enjoy its January �sails�. Various water excursions will be available for budding sea-goers, in addition to excellent accommodation rates, offering savings up to 30% off normal packages.

The January �sails� promotion at The Landings will be available to guests booking seven night breaks at the resort by 31 December 2008 and providing the trips take place during January 2009*. The five star resort will be offering deluxe villa suites from �220** per suite, per night. This includes breakfast, as well as a complimentary sailing lesson to help find your sea legs before heading off to hire a sailboat from the private harbour at The Landings.

However, if you would prefer to sit back and sip a gin and tonic and leave the sailing to the professionals, the hotel can arrange a captained sunset sail or day charter to cruise around the island and take in the breathtaking views of the striking Pitons mountains.

January is a perfect time to visit The Landings as it coincides with the opening of the next phase of suites and amenities at the resort. The Landings officially opened in December 2007 with 62 spacious and luxuriously appointed villa suites and 12 months later another 60 villa suites have been unveiled to meet the growing number of guests staying at this luxury resort.

In addition to the new suites, two new pools (an adult only serenity pool and a family friendly pool), tennis courts and a resort boutique will also be available to guests.

The villa suites which offer the most spacious accommodation on island are perfect for couples and family alike. One, two and three bedroom suites are available and they offer fully equipped kitchens, two large balconies, or landscaped terrace and many also boast heated, jetted plunge pools. The Landings is situated in the north coast of the island, very close to Rodney Bay and spans 19 acres and nearly 800 feet of the island�s most stunning beachfront.
