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.
Superior StudioThese spacious, 40 sq m (430 sq ft) rooms include a small kitchenette area within the room and a small garden-facing terrace.
Deluxe One Bedroom Suite - Garden ViewThe one bedroom suites vary in size between 50 sq m – 75 sq m (538 sq ft – 807 sq ft). These are set among the gardens and have a separate bedroom with king or two queen beds and a living room with sofa bed and kitchenette.
Deluxe One Bedroom Suite - Ocean ViewThese suites are set on the hillside with views of the ocean in the far distance.

Although the rooms are set up to enable self-catering, the hotel does have a restaurant set up on the hillside with picturesque archways allowing great views of St George's and the bay.
