Christmas has always been a season to spend at home with your family, friends or loved ones, however, with its expectations of cooking, buying gifts and house cleaning, it can become tiring. Here are some reasons why one should look to travel to the West Indies to spend this festive season at StolenTime.

The adults-only, all-inclusive resort focuses on relaxation and personal- wellbeing and goes all out to ensure that guests are physically and mentally relaxed. One of the ways to lighten your spirit is through interaction and at StolenTime the party always starts the day before Christmas. Guests are invited to celebrate in a St. Lucian-style tree decorating session then promising to save you the stress of preparing Christmas menus and meals, our chefs would also bring a head start to things at our Christmas Eve Gala Buffet Dinner.

Not straying away from the fact that you are in one of the best West Indian islands that is rich in culture, going from house to house to celebrate with neighbours and friends living nearby is a must! The camaraderie, the wholesome family feeling and joy in your heart is guaranteed to be felt as you spend time with the young and old. Shortly after, expect a special visitor from the north pole and a Colour Me Red beach party that will make your Christmas Day unique.

By now, you would’ve gotten a taste of what it means to “party like the locals”. If you are up for it, an invitation is extended to join yet another unique and authentic experience – Cast Your Net. We introduce you to Island-style fishing on the beachfront where you will find some of the most exotic species. The next day expect us to showcase a bit more of our heritage at the Creole Lawn Party, followed by a Sunset Cruise which will allow you to bask in views that are unrivalled.
With only a few days until Christmas, on Friday, December 23rd our Food and Rum Festival will take you on a gastronomic culinary journey. We are transforming our driveway to replicate the popular, Gros Islet Street Party, held every Friday night. Indulge in delectable, local food and rum, be amazed by live cooking demonstrations and dance to the latest hits from our local artists.
As we prepare for the season’s climax on December 30th, we celebrate all of the amazing moments of 2022 with a carnival-themed cruise.
Upon return, we advise that you relax as we switch things up the following day with a Glitz and Glam dinner and count down to the new year. Go into the New year in St. Lucia with a live band and a spectacular display of fireworks at midnight.

The site of the original family home was once a vast coconut estate where in the 1950s, St Lucian planter, Dennis Barnard built his house on the Malabar Beach. Shortly thereafter, the family decided to extend the property. With 20 bedrooms, The Malabar Beach Hotel that catered to the needs of commercial transient traveller was opened.

In August 1982, Craig Barnard took out a franchise and began operating their hotel as “Couples” – the first all – inclusive resort for the holiday – maker on the island. The franchise, originally taken out for ten years, finally expired in April 1993 and “StolenTime” – the most intimate, romantic all-inclusive resort for couples only in the Cariibbean was born.

50 Years of Commitment

Since Malabar Beach Hotel opened its doors in 1966, the aim was to provide a truly personalised, intimate and romantic holiday. That vision has never changed. Today, StolenTime is still an escape for couples from the stresses and strains of everyday life. What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than with our wonderful guests. On the 16th of July, 2016, join us in celebrating 50 years of continuous service to you!

On July 16, 2016 StolenTime celebrated its 50th Anniversary. With warm wind, white sand and special edition champagne flowing, it was an evening to remember. Guests from the hotel as well as the local business and government community were greeted by the StolenTime’ senior management team and escorted to Malabar Beach where a bonfire was lit, food was served and drinks were poured.

Speeches were made by General Manager Yhasmine Remy-Hylton, Managing Director Andrew Barnard and Minister of Tourism Dominic Fedee before the onset of a spectacular fireworks show. Celebrations ensued with live music and a performance by a fire breather to cap the evening.

We would like to thank all those who came out to celebrate our Golden Anniversary as well as those who have supported StolenTime over the years.
