Top choice in St Lucia
Hidden in the hills to the south of Soufrière, this 250-year-old working cocoa plantation is a great place to unwind. Fifteen tastefully refurbished cottages with private balconies are surrounded by tropical gardens. Some boast private plunge pools. There is also a fine split-level communal pool with great views, and guests are offered a free plantation tour.
While it's not by the water, the lovely sands of Sugar Beach are accessible via a free shuttle service.
