N estled between the Pitons – two iconic mountainous volcanic spires located in Saint Lucia – Sugar Beach is a haven of luxury and tranquillity that showcases the island’s stunning beauty. Reached via a winding road through the rainforest, Sugar Beach encapsulates a tropical paradise where platinum sands and white-washed villas are tucked into the hillside. A former sugar plantation, it has been transformed into a contemporary and intimate resort where elegance and relaxation are the order of the day for both couples and families. Out of 22 privately owned one- to four-bed residences overlooking the sparkling waters of the Caribbean Sea, the remaining three Beachfront Collection properties are available to purchase, ranging from $8.25 to $15 million and offering owners the rare chance of living in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set in one of the most desirable secluded vacation spots in the world, the Beachfront Collection at Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort, offers true luxury and impeccable styling where interior living spaces seamlessly merge with the exterior environment. Designed inside and out by British architects Michaelis Boyd using all-natural materials, the Beachfront Collection homes are a departure from the classic Caribbean style of the rest of the resort and have a sleek, modern aesthetic and several tranquil water features. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors connect the living and dining rooms with the exterior terraces and pool areas. Rafters have been left exposed, creating light-filled double-height living areas. The open design incorporates each living space into the magnificent vistas of the Pitons, while skilful architecture and landscaping offer maximum privacy. Custom-built Italian kitchens equipped with state-of-the-art appliances by Gaggenau are complemented by bespoke furnishings, available in classic light or modernist dark colour palettes. Five-fixture bathrooms feature rain showers and spacious freestanding tubs and outdoor showers, and each residence features bespoke plantings and oral pathways; beautiful landscape crafted gardens for each residence come complete with the privacy of a private outdoor area, which leads towards the beach. 2 6 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
