Mirage Beach Resort – Laborie offers a quietly charming escape on the beachfront of the picturesque village of Laborie, on St Lucia’s southwest coast. The property is directly on the sand and offers unobstructed sea views and a strong sense of intimate island living.

What to Expect

• The accommodation is comprised of self-contained apartments or small beach-house-style units featuring a kitchen or kitchenette, dining area, and a private terrace or balcony with direct beach access.
• Guests staying here will find themselves in a tranquil setting, far from the large resort crowds — an ideal choice for travellers looking to immerse in local life rather than be in a resort-zone.
• The beach right in front of the property is gentle and shallow at the shoreline, making it restful for beach time, though the bottom does shift from sand to coral/sea-weed just a bit out. One guest noted: “We were the only tourists in the area and on the beach on most days.”

Highlights

• Direct beach frontage: walk out of your door and you’re on the sand.
• Fully equipped kitchenette in the units: fridge, microwave, cooking utensils—great for self-caterers.
• Sea-view balcony/terrace and relaxed living with local character rather than polished resort sheen.
• A genuine local village atmosphere: restaurants, beach bars, and village life are within easy walking distance. One review: “Swimming is great in the shallows … the town … is a 15 minute walk down the beach.”

Considerations

• The property has a rustic charm which means standards may vary; some guests found units to be simple and fan-cooled rather than air-conditioned.
• As it’s located in a quiet village, evening entertainment and large resort-style amenities are limited — ideal for those seeking peace and authenticity, less so for high-energy nightlife.
• It’s advisable to bring important supplies (like mosquito repellent or extra cash) since the village is smaller and has fewer amenities than big resort towns.

Ideal For

Mirage Beach Resort is best suited for:

• Couples or small groups who want a beachfront stay with kitchen facilities in an off-the-beaten-path location
• Travellers who value authenticity, local interaction and simplicity over luxury
• Those who prefer a slower pace, beautiful sea-views, and a strong sense of place
