Booking a Bay Gardens St Lucia airport transfer? First check which Bay Gardens you're staying at, because there are four: the Beach Resort, the Hotel, the Inn and Marina Haven, all in Rodney Bay. From Hewanorra (UVF) the drive takes about 75 to 90 minutes, and a private transfer with us is a fixed $120 per car for up to three people. Book the page for your exact hotel and your driver takes you straight to the right front door.

Bay Gardens is one of the best-loved names in Rodney Bay. It's also the name we hear most often followed by "...which one?" Here's how to make sure your first evening starts at the right reception desk.
All four belong to the same local group and sit within a few minutes of each other, but they're separate buildings with separate front desks.
| Hotel | Where it is | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa | Right on Reduit Beach | The biggest of the four, popular with families |
| Bay Gardens Hotel | Rodney Bay Village | Close to restaurants and shops |
| Bay Gardens Inn | Rodney Bay Village | The smallest and quietest of the group |
| Bay Gardens Marina Haven | Beside Rodney Bay Marina | Across the lagoon from Reduit Beach |
The easy check: open your hotel confirmation and look for the full name. If it only says "Bay Gardens", email the hotel before you fly. It takes one line and saves a lot of confusion later.
From UVF the road runs up the east coast through Dennery, over the hills into Castries, then north to Rodney Bay. Plan on 75 to 90 minutes, a little longer on weekday evenings when Castries traffic builds. Our guide to the UVF to Rodney Bay ride explains the route and timing in detail.
Flying into George F. L. Charles (SLU) instead? Rodney Bay is only about 20 minutes away, and we pick up there too.
A private transfer from UVF to any Bay Gardens hotel is a fixed $120 per car for up to three people, with $25 for each extra family member. Larger groups see a group price automatically when they book. Book the ride back to the airport at the same time and the round trip comes to about $225 instead of $240.
That price includes flight tracking, up to 60 minutes of free waiting after you land, your name on a yellow TripCarib sign in arrivals, an air-conditioned SUV, cold water, help with your bags and free child seats on request. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup.
If your flight runs late, your pickup moves with it. Here's what happens if your flight is delayed.
From Rodney Bay, leave about 5 hours before an international flight from UVF, and a little earlier on weekday mornings. For a 3pm flight, that means being in the car by 10am. Our Hewanorra departure guide has the full timings.
Here's how a typical Bay Gardens pickup goes for us. A family lands on the afternoon flight, walks out of arrivals and spots their name on our yellow sign. Bags and kids go in, cold water comes out, and they head north. Because they booked the Beach Resort page, the driver already knows which building to go to, so there's no guessing in the dark and no detour around the lagoon. Just under an hour and a half later, they're at reception and the kids are already looking at the beach.
How far is Bay Gardens from Hewanorra airport? About 75 to 90 minutes by road. From SLU it's about 20 minutes.
How much is a transfer to Bay Gardens? A fixed $120 per car from UVF for up to three people.

Can you take us back to the airport? Yes. Book both ways together and you save on the return.
What if my flight is delayed? We track it, and your driver waits up to 60 minutes after you land at no extra cost.
