By Wellington Estates

Wellington Estates, developer of Cas en Bas Beach Resort in Saint Lucia’s prestigious Cap Estate, is proud to announce that Julien Alfred, the Caribbean nation’s first-ever Olympic gold medallist, has purchased an apartment at its new luxury resort.

The 23-year-old global superstar sprinter, who was recently in London for the World Travel Market representing Saint Lucia as their new Tourism Ambassador, has also agreed to represent Cas en Bas Beach Resort as a Hotel Ambassador beginning in 2026 for an 8-year exclusive period.

The managed unit, part of Cas en Bas Beach Resort, represents a strategic financial investment for Miss Alfred while also serving as a personal retreat. “I am thrilled to have this exceptional base where I can unwind and spend quality time with friends and family when I come home,' says Miss Alfred. 'This investment not only supports my future but also allows me to enjoy all that the beautiful island of Saint Lucia has to offer."

Miss Alfred has pledged a proportion of the rental income generated by her unit to the Julien Alfred Foundation, her charity that provides school supplies and athletic equipment to underprivileged children in Saint Lucia. British entrepreneur Edward Wellington, founder of Wellington Estates, has generously agreed to match the pledge indefinitely. Wellington commented: “It is a real honour to welcome Miss Alfred to my resort. She is an inspiration to all and a true testament of how hard work, self-discipline and determination can help reach your goals. I commend Miss Alfred for giving so much back to her home nation and in such a short amount of time, and I am honoured to support her foundation.”
