Itinerary
Fly to Saint Lucia
On arrival you will be met and transferred by private car to the charming Fond Doux Plantation.
The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to relax and settle in to your home for the next three nights.
Fond Doux is set on a 250 year old working cocoa plantation in the rainforest. This morning join the hotel's estate tour where a local guide explains its history and the process of cocoa production, as well as exploring the resort trails and showing you the local plant life.
Today is at leisure to relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are feeling more active you might like to climb Gros Piton for incredible views or take an easier hike through the rainforest.
You have the morning at leisure to explore before a private road transfer back to the airport.
The flight to Grenada takes 50 minutes and on arrival you will be met and transferred 15 minutes by private vehicle to Blue Horizons Garden Resort.
Today is your first day at leisure on Grenada. The capital, St George's, is only ten minutes' drive away so why not start here? Discover some of the island's history at Fort George and Fort Frederick and visit the Grenada National Museum. The popular market selling spices and other local products is particularly lively on Saturdays.
Why not head to Grand Etang National Park to explore some of the incredible flora and fauna of the island's interior?
Whilst in Grenada, a snorkeling or dive trip to the underwater sculpture park, the first of its kind, is not to be missed.
Today you may like to take a short ferry trip over to neighboring Carriacou which has some lovely walking trails, be sure to look out for dolphins on the trip over.
It's well worth exploring the rugged and undeveloped north coast of the island. Why not hire a car and driver to discover the area, stopping at a rum distillery and cocoa plantation on route.
Another day at leisure. You may like to simply relax at the nearby Grand Anse beach, one of the best on the island, just a short walk from the hotel.
Most of your day is at leisure until you are collected for the private transfer back to the airport for your evening flight home.

Accommodation
Tucked amidst a 250-year-old working cocoa plantation, Found Doux is a simple, family-run hotel close to Saint Lucia’s twin pitons. Surrounded by thick rainforest it’s world’s away from Saint Lucia’s beach resorts, offering a peaceful, secluded escape.
The 15 cottages here are a great base from which to explore the rugged south of the island which is defined by dramatic volcanic scenery, an array of birdlife and deep-green forest. Nature trails run right through the estate and there’s a real effort to support the environment; guests are encouraged to plant a tree to commemorate their stay.
Fond Doux Plantation has a rustic, traditional charm with local staff and a focus on Saint Lucian culture — many of the furnishings are locally made. A great way to experience Saint Lucia’s heritage and natural beauty, they offer a selection of experiences to encourage you to explore the local surroundings, and find out more about traditional chocolate making techniques.
Blue Horizons Garden Resort RoomsThe 32 studios and one-bedroom units are in plantation-style bungalows spread out among the mature gardens and there’s a feeling of space and quiet in the resort, even when full. All accommodations offers air-conditioning, ceiling fan, TV and a balcony or patio.
