5 Hotels to Book for Summer Vacation
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort Val Des Pitons Forbidden Beach, St. Lucia
Tucked between a lush rainforest, St. Lucia's only white sand beach, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed valley of the Pitons, Sugar Beach is one of the best places to rest your head in the Caribbean. Set on 100 acres of pristine rainforest that was once a sugar plantation, this tropical getaway is a great place to sit back and relax and enjoy your very own slice of island paradise. Each room is equipped with a four-poster bed, plunge pool, custom furnishings, a butler to tend to guests' every need, and spectacular views of the volcanic spires that make up the Pitons jutting up from the pristine waters of the bay. Spend a day in Soufrière, a nearby historic town with plenty to see and do, like visiting the botanical gardens, hiking nature trails, and seeing natural wonders like waterfalls and hot springs. Indulge in Creole specialties, Asian-inspired bites, or a tasting menu at one of the onsite restaurants. Experience true bliss with a trip to the Rainforest Spa, which offers a range of rejuvenating treatments, before making your way down to Sugar Beach where you can simply lie out and tan or try out fun activities like sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, and more.
