Between the Pitons on St Lucia’s south-west coast, Sugar Beach occupies more than 100 acres of rainforest descending to the white sand of Anse des Pitons. Plantation-style guestrooms, villas, beachfront bungalows and residences are arranged for privacy, many with terraces, plunge pools and views of mountain or Caribbean water. The Rainforest Spa sits among the trees, while the main pool and beach anchor days outdoors. Dining moves from barefoot shoreline tables at Bonté and Jalousie Grill to the more composed setting of Saltwood, with gardens, steep green slopes and the twin volcanic peaks framing the resort throughout.
