SUGAR BEACH , A VICEROY RESORT NEAR SOUFRIÈRE

THE SETTING OF SUGAR BEACH , a Viceroy Resort ( formerly The Jalousie Plantation ) could hardly be more spectacular , nestling as it does within more than 100 acres of tropical vegetation on a hillside that descends to the Caribbean Sea between the breathtakingly beautiful Piton mountains . The grounds of the hotel abound with fruit trees , such as mango , banana , papaya , coconut , avocado and soursop , as well as colourful flowering shrubs such as hibiscus , jasmine , oleander and bougainvillaea . The focal point of the hotel is the Great House , which contains the reception area , gift shop , the elegant Great Room Restaurant and the chic Cane Bar . More relaxed dining can be found at the Bayside Restaurant on the seashore , while the neighbouring Bayside Bar is the perfect spot for sundowner cocktails . The character and ambience of the Luxury Sugar Mill Rooms and Luxury Villas at Sugar Beach is very Caribbean , yet their facilities meet the exacting requirements of the modern guest . In addition , there are new Luxury Beachfront Bungalows , set right on the sand and just steps from the water ’ s edge . All of the accommodations feature a four-poster bed , custom-made furniture , private plunge pools and personalised butler service . The two-bedroom Grand Luxury Villas and Luxury Beachfront Bungalows are ideal for family groups . Your time here at Sugar Beach can be spent basking in the tropical sun on the beach or by the pool while you wonder at the beauty of the natural scenery around you . You may also take part in an extensive range of sports . The all new Rainforest Spa offers a variety of treatments and rituals such as the Bamboo Massage . The surroundings nearby are very inviting with the rain forest , a plantation , the sulphur springs and the local fishing town of Soufrière to explore . Sugar Beach , a Viceroy Resort benefits from a gloriously spectacular beachfront location surrounded by lush tropical vegetation . Highly recommended .
