Location
About the surrounding area of Sun SanctuarySt Lucia is a stunning tropical destination with luscious greenery, exotic rainforests, high peaked mountains and dramatic volcanoes to explore with beautiful powder-white beaches surrounded by turquoise seas. Anytime is a good time in St Lucia, which enjoys an average temperature of 29 degrees.
Sun Sanctuary is perfectly positioned within the lush 600-acre Anse Chastanet estate in southwestern St Lucia. The Sanctuary's amazing elevated position means it has access to some of the best views on the island, and its remarkable design means you can take in 270-degree panoramic views whilst being cocooned in a secluded tranquil oasis.
Sanctuary guests have exclusive access to the Jade Mountain Club, which has a fabulous setting and offers exotic cuisine. The Jade Mountain Club is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is live entertainment on selected evenings.
The open rooftop terrace has terrific views of the sea and Pitons and is the perfect setting for sundowners and romantic dinners.
Sanctuaries are set away from the main resort, which is only a short stroll or shuttle ride away. Guests can access a host of activities, including yoga, chocolate tastings and guided nature walks. There is a fitness centre & Spa to enjoy as well as four restaurants and a beautiful beachfront with plenty of sun loungers and watersports available.
There is day or sunset sailing available on the resort yacht, or join the Jazzy Sunset Cruise on the 60 ft resort catamaran.
Nearby Soufriere was the original capital of St Lucia and is one of the island's most memorable spots.
Overlooked by the Pitons, two giant conical volcanic spires that rise abruptly from the sea, the town is surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches, including the renowned Suger Beach. There are several old plantation estates to explore, including The Rabot Estate plantation, where all of Hotel Chocolat's products begin. Try out the amazing Bean to bar chocolate experience, which shows how chocolate is produced and ends with you creating your own chocolate bar!
The Soufriere Estate, which is now home to the Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens, makes for a lovely day out. You can enjoy meandering among tropical flowers and trees or take a dip in mineral baths that date back to 1784.
Just south of the town is the world's only drive-in volcano – the Soufriere sulphur springs. The landscape is 'otherwordly' with hot springs and belching mud pots, and if you can cope with the sulphur smell, you can bathe in thermal pools and enjoy mud face and body masks.
The St Lucian people are warm and friendly and love to party. July is Carnival season, and there is a renowned Jazz Festival held on Pigeon Island in May.
For a taste of Caribbean fun, head over to the Gros Islet Friday night street party, where crowds gravitate towards traffic-free streets set up with craft stalls and barbeques. Soca and reggae blare from huge speakers as you enjoy a rum punch or beer and decide which fish fry-up to sample. The party atmosphere continues long after sunset, with crowds dancing in the streets.

About the Island & Getting There
About St Lucia
The Land, The People, The Light – St Lucia’s motto couldn’t be more representative of this captivating sovereign island nation. Witness dazzling scenery, be spellbound by the fascinating locals and allow for St Lucia to brighten your day and show you a new way to life.
St Lucia gained its independence from the British Commonwealth in 1979 and after centuries of a French presence, which is most visible today in the original Capital of Soufrière, St Lucia is famous for its Pitons & landscapes and vivacious community.
St Lucia really is a hiker’s Nirvana! Where to start? That’s a tough question. However, with the likes of - The Diamond Botanical Gardens, Enbas Saut Waterfall Trail, Pigeon Island National Park, Sulphur Springs Park Scenic Drive and Tet Paul Nature Trail – it doesn’t matter! These UNESCO listed sites are a sight to behold. If you're likely to take to the water, you'll be able to admire the rich marine biodiversity just off the shore of St Lucia. Over 60% of the marine area is made up of coral reefs and these are very poular with snorkelers and scuba divers. Just make sure you put time aside to relish these privileged land & seascapes.
Start your cultural trip downtown in Castries. Here you will be provided with more than enough entertainment for an afternoon and evening. The local Market runs throughout the week and is certainly the right place to come for exotic fruits and tantalising Street Food - the Green Fig & Salt Fish is local delicacy and it's not scarce, so perhaps try a few variants on this regional intricacy and let us know which is your favourite! The vendors are incredibly animated, so expect a show to be put on if you choose to explore this part of the island and brush up on those haggling skills. La Place Carenage and Point Seraphine are very popular Malls and if you bear in mind the added incentive of these complexes being Duty-Free, you and your guests will certainly get some good deals (A taxi back to your villa after such an excursion is suggested!).
Many holiday makers are surprised to learn of St Lucia’s rich cocoa legacy. Ever since the 1700’s this island has been producing cocoa related products, that are incredibly sought after all across the world. Morne Coubaril Estate and La Dauphine Estate specialise in showcasing how plantations use to gather & manufacture the Cocoa Bean fruit and organise educational tours. After learning all about St Lucia’s former booming cocoa industry, you will probably need some therapy…how about chocolate therapy like you’ve never encountered before? Enquire at some of the islands more renowned Spas and you’ll be able to experience the benefits of a chocolate facial and massage. Remember - Chocolate isn’t a food, it’s a medicine!
We have selected some of the most exciting villas on the island, so browse through these dreamy holiday homes and have a look at our cheeky little guide to St Lucia!
