5. Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
At the Viceroy-affiliated Sugar Beach, you don’t have to book a lavish villa to experience high-end amenities. Each room features a private walled garden, a plunge pool and personalized butler service. In addition to the plush accommodations, Sugar Beach boasts easy access to some of St. Lucia’s best dive spots, including «Superman’s Flight,» a popular drift dive around the base of Petit Piton. Travelers can arrange scuba excursions, as well as island tours through the resort.
6. Tortuga Bay Hotel
Tortuga Bay boasts spacious suites designed by fashion icon Oscar de la Renta, just one of the property’s many draws. Aside from the stylish decor, accommodations also boast balconies or patios, Jacuzzis, walk-in closets, kitchenettes and flat-screen TVs. Guests rave about the tasty (albeit expensive) food served on Oscar’s signature tables at Bamboo Restaurant (as well as at the six other eateries within the Puntacana Resort & Club complex).
