POV: That Time Sandy Bottom Took Over St. Lucia

Sanya  ·  4 min read
Title

There are some trips that feel less like projects and more like homecomings.  This one? This one was personal.

 

If you’ve been here for a while, you know Sandy Bottom was born from the confidence, strength, and softness I saw in the women who raised me back home in St. Lucia. The way they moved:  unbothered, assured, glowing without trying. That energy shaped me. It shaped this brand.

 

So when the opportunity came to take Sandy Bottom back to the St.Lucia for our latest shoot, I didn’t just pack bikinis. I packed memories, pride, and a deep need to show the world what I’ve always known: St. Lucian women are magic.

 

And let me tell you, they delivered.

The Vibe

Picture this:

  • Sunrise meeting the sea.
  • The Pitons standing like they’ve been waiting for us.
  • Laughter, coconut water, music playing from someone’s phone.
  • A group of women hyping each other up like it’s second nature.

There was no “pretend you’re confident.”  There was only real confidence, the kind you feel in your bones.

We shot on beaches I’ve swam at since I was a child. Walked roads I know with my eyes closed. It felt like the island itself was saying, “Welcome home. Let’s show them.”

The Looks That Rocked the Island

These pieces weren’t just outfits. They became the moment.

PAM ONE PIECE
The “I woke up like this” bikini.
Minimal effort. Maximum effect.

BIANCA BIKINI

Hand-dyed macramé shaped like a seashell. Art. Just… art.

PAM ONE PIECE

Classic. Elegant. “Main character at the resort pool” behavior.

MARINA ONE PIECE

Sleek and sculpted. The definition of resort luxury.

CELESTE BIKINI

Minimal effort. Maximum effect.

ZOE BIKINI

Cheeky Fits. Gold details. She does not play.

Each piece felt like it belonged there.  As if the shoreline was waiting for them.

The Women

This part matters the most. The models, the photographers, the glam teams, the assistants, almost entirely St. Lucian women.

 

Women who understand that beauty isn’t something you manufacture. It’s something you carry.

 

Watching them step in front of the camera was like watching my younger self quietly learning how to be fearless.

 

These women didn’t “perform” confidence. They embodied it.

 

What’s Coming Next
This blog is just the peek. Just the whisper.  Just the inhale before the moment.  The campaign is coming.  The visuals are coming. The story is coming.  And I cannot wait to show you what happens when a woman returns to the place that made her and reminds the world that the island is beautiful, but its women are the masterpiece.  St.Lucia is simply beautiful. 

with lots of love and a sandy bum,
