Destinations / Caribbean

Visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites is a common way for some family travelers to plan their vacation itineraries, while for others, their plans are often built around staying in resorts offering luxury and family-friendly activities. On the beautiful Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, you can have the best of both worlds with a stay at Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort that sits on a UNESCO World Heritage site.

 

The all-inclusive luxury resort is the ideal family vacation destination. In addition to fun activities the whole family can participate in, like tennis, beach volleyball, kayaking and snorkeling, the resort is also equipped with an on-site kids’ camp to let your little ones take part in specialized activities perfect for their age group. Options include the Sugar Club program for kids ages 4–12 and the Spice Club program for teens and tweens. Babysitting services are also available at an additional charge.

 

While the kids are busy having fun and making new friends, mom and dad can reconnect with some alone time or a relaxing experience like a couples massage in the resort’s Rainforest Spa. When the whole family reconnects, the family can enjoy a meal at one of the resort’s four restaurants or grab an ice cream at Boopa’s, the grab-n-go café named after a beloved elephant that once roamed the island.

 

The 96-room resort sits at the base of Petit Piton, one of two volcanic mountains on the island that make up Pitons Management Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. With a stay at Sugar Beach, your family will not only enjoy the distinction of vacationing at one of the world’s most culturally significant locations, but they will also create memories lasting a lifetime.
