Stop A’ILA Resorts from Destroying Reduit Beach & Restricting Public Access
URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Save Reduit Beach for All Saint Lucians
Saint Lucians, our beloved Reduit Beach is being taken from us—and we must act now. Since mid-2024, A’ILA Resorts has launched a massive construction project that is not only harming the residents living nearby, but also threatening public access to one of our most iconic beaches.
What’s Happening:
- Over two-thirds of the beach will be reserved exclusively for hotel guests, including private umbrellas, cabanas, and limited access.
- Public beach access is shrinking with no clear explanation of where locals will be allowed to go.
- Construction is causing major loss of rental income, property damage, and constant disruption to daily life.
- Vital drainage infrastructure has been destroyed, creating flooding risks.
- Construction laws are being ignored, with noise and dust from early morning to late at night.
- 80% of the construction workforce are not Saint Lucians.
This is not just about Reduit Beach residents—it’s about all of us. Reduit Beach is a national treasure, and public access must be preserved for every Saint Lucian.
We Demand:
- A clear and legal guarantee that two-thirds of the beach—from the Starfish Hotel boundary to Marie’s Fish Shack—remains reserved for Saint Lucian residents.
- Full public disclosure of A’ILA Resorts’ development plans and environmental impacts.
- Compensation for affected residents and repairs to damaged infrastructure.
- Strict enforcement of construction laws and environmental protections.
- Road maintenance and full repair of already damaged roads caused by construction activity.
Sign and share the petition now.
Let’s send a clear message: Saint Lucia is not for sale.

Public access to be beach needs to be assured and encouraged and not be intimidated by use of private security.
It’s deplorable. Damn big money talks. This is St. Lucia and the beach belong to every Lucian. Tourists and locals share the beach here and I have never seen the need to divide. Public beaches for all!
IM BRITISH AN HOLIDAY EVERY YEAR WOULDN LIKE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN THE LOCALS AND VENDOR'S MAKE THE VIBE WOULDNT BE THE SAME
The construction of this resort is far from being mindful of the existing environment (They've ripped down every tree!) and respecting the surrounding community! Construction is ongoing day and night. Even including Christmas day. Not to mention the Public's rightful access to Reduit Beach! This cannot go unchecked! People live here. This is their home!
There wasn’t any mention of Marie’s fish shack. This is destroying the environment in which locals and tourists alike would enjoy an afternoon with Marie’s delicious cooking a some cold Pitons. She has been there for 47 years and she deserves answers as well.
Access must remain for all St Lucians to use ALL of Reduit Beach it cannot be for hotels only before you know it there will be hardly any left
Do NOT turn St Lucia into Jamaica and other islands, not allowing their locals free and easy access to the beaches. It is a travesty to allow this!!

The displacement of people is egregious! The country is being sold in chunks to foreign entities with no moral compass. It's all done in the name of profit with a handful of low paying jobs in exchange. Lucians stop this madness!!
