Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, is located on the southwestern coast of Saint Lucia, set within over 100 acres of lush rainforest between the majestic Piton mountains—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built on the site of a former 18th-century sugar plantation, the resort perfectly combines historical elegance with contemporary luxury.
There are 130 rooms at Sugar Beach, including luxury villas, cottages, and beachfront bungalows, each offering private plunge pools, expansive terraces, and butler service. Interiors are light and airy, with whitewashed décor and rich wood accents. Some villas enjoy direct beach access, while others are tucked into the hillside with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea.
The resort has seven excellent dining options. Some of the highlight include “grab and go” café for all day snacks, sweet treats and light bites, as well as Saltwood, which offers an elegant dining experience with views of the Pitons and the beach, and Jalouise Grill, which offers a more relaxed, beachside grill.
The resort also has an excellent spa, set within the rainforest with open-air treehouse-style treatment rooms. There is also a fitness centre and tennis courts for those looking to stay active. Sugar Beach also has a water sports and PADI-certified dive centre, offering dive classes and motorised water sports and a number of complimentary non-motorised water sports, including paddle boards, kayaks and Hobie cats.
Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Sugar Beach offers a luxurious Caribbean escape.

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
