Sugar Beach a Viceroy Resort

St Lucia is made for luxury getaways. Essentially divided into two distinct regions, there is Rodney Bay which is ideal for lazy beach days and modern comforts and on the opposite side is Soufrière which has old plantations and hidden beaches for something a little more Robinson Crusoe (albeit with a luxury base). This picturesque island has unsurprisingly got an excellent range of high-end accommodation. Our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best luxury hotels in St Lucia ranging from family-friendly affairs with both kids' clubs and memorable spas to boutique adult-only hideaways perfect for romantic escapes. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next luxury break?
