Why we like it for families

It’s the Epitome of Luxury (for Families, too!). St. Lucia is known for its dreamy honeymoon hotels but when it comes to family getaways, Sugar Beach Resort really steals the show. It’s not just a top pick in St. Lucia — it’s arguably one of the best luxury family resorts in the entire Caribbean. If you’re after five-star luxury that’s also perfect for families, this is the place to be.
The Sense of Place. You’ll definitely feel the magic at this resort. St. Lucia has no shortage of family-friendly hotels but none blend luxury into the natural landscape like the Sugar Beach Resort. The entire place is designed to harmonize with its stunning surroundings, creating a powerful experience.
The Location. Sugar Beach resort has a prime spot, nestled on the beach with the lush rainforest and iconic Pitons as its backdrop. It’s also closer to the main airport than many other family-friendly hotels in St Lucia. Close to the island’s best outdoor activities, Sugar Beach Resort offers families endless chances for adventure.
The Kids’ Club. Sugar Beach Resort is packed with activities for everyone, from tots to teens and adults. The V Team Kids Club takes care of the kids, with the Sugar Club for ages 4-11 and the Spice Club for teens and tweens. While your kids are busy being creative, active, and making new friends, you can hike Gros Piton, dip in the sulphur springs, indulge at the Rainforest Spa, or dive into the clear waters. And if your children are under 4, you can easily book a babysitter to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer.
The Scuba Diving & Snorkeling.The scuba diving and snorkeling near the Pitons is fantastic. There’s a special roped-off area just for snorkeling off the beach at Sugar Beach with thriving coral reefs. For an extra thrill, book a night snorkel.

Location and Activities

Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort, is under an hour’s drive from the Hewannorra International Airport (UVF), making it one of the most convenient luxury hotels for families in St Lucia. To make the most of the journey, we suggest booking a private transfer – let someone else handle the winding roads while you relax and soak in the stunning views.

Tucked between the iconic Pitons and surrounded by a hundred acres of lush tropical rainforest, this beachfront resort offers easy access to St Lucia’s best land and water activities. The resort’s concierge team can arrange a variety of on-and off-property tours and activities. You can even create a custom tour to explore some of St. Lucia’s hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems.

Activities

Prepare to be blown away from the moment you arrive. As soon as you step into Sugar Beach, a team at reception greets you with a refreshing drink before whisking you away to your accommodation, where your personal butler awaits.
Families have a range of fabulous accommodations for their stay, many with private walk-out pools that make naptimes something to look forward to. The Luxury Villa is a dream for a family with a baby, and the Grand Luxury Villas (with 1 or 2 bedrooms) are the best choice for small families wanting a separate sleeping space. Golf carts whisk you from your hillside villa to the resort’s central areas.
If you want to be a stone’s throw away from the restaurants, beach, and pool, the Beachfront Bungalows of Residences are the place to splurge. Most come with kitchens, washers, dryers, and swoon-worthy infinity pools.
Dining is a treat with five on-site restaurants. Saltwood is the signature spot, featuring gourmet classics and an impressive wine list, but don’t worry – kids can enjoy their own menu. Bronté Restaurant and Bar is another family favorite, serving up St.-Lucia-inspired dishes made with fresh ingredients served on the beach. Pro tip: Don’t miss the traditional Caribbean BBQ every Friday.
For those who want a truly stress-free vacation, the “Food for Thought” package offers an all-inclusive dining option. It’s a splurge but you won’t have a worry about spending once you arrive.
Room service is available 24/7, so you can dine on your private terrace whenever the mood strikes.
The activities are endless, with tennis, beach volleyball, scheduled fitness classes, snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, boat excursions, and even an indoor-outdoor art museum.
If you’re seeking an elevated spa experience, book a signature treatment in a treehouse-style gazebo and unwind with a steam experience at the Temazcal.
For a truly sweet time, the Family Chocolate Experience lets you and your kids craft your own chocolates- a memory you’ll savor long after your stay.

Amazing…kids had a blast as did we…resort was wonderful…food was wonderful..we had a hard time leaving! I hope we didn’t ruin ourselves with such a special place it will be hard to replicate

★★★★★ 5/5

John S, July 2024, Mango Tree Traveler

A Slice of Heaven There’s no way I would not give this resort 5 stars. It’s breathtaking, seriously the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. We stayed in one of the grand villas, and there’s nothing like waking up in that pristine place and walking outside to the patio to that gorgeous view of the ocean and the Pitons. I traveled with my husband and 5-year-old, and we had a wonderful time.

★★★★★ 5/5
