Set within more than 100 acres of pristine rainforest in the embrace of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Val des Pitons, Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort, offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons, along with all of the 18th-century Colonial charm that St. Lucia is known for. Sitting on the site of an old sugar plantation, the resort boasts a variety of different luxury rooms, cottages, bungalows and villas — each with its own private plunge pool. Travelers of all ages and passions will enjoy all of the land, air and sea activities, from hiking and ATV biking to ziplining and diving, not to mention the selection of immersive experiences that allow guests to get a feel for the local culture and history. The resort’s Rainforest Spa boasts individual treatment rooms housed in their own unique treehouse, where guests can indulge in signature experiences like bamboo massages, hot rock therapies and holistic treatments, each harnessing the ingredients of nearby volcanic springs and fertile cocoa plantations.
