Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

About Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

Framed by rainforest and majestic volcanic spires, Fond Doux Plantation & Resort is more than a day at the beach on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia. Best known for its romantic, intimate and authentic experience, the eco-luxury resort is home to a 19th-century working cocoa plantation and features tropical gardens, charming cottages, two restaurants, a triple-cascading swimming pool and an organic spa. While a stay at Fond Doux isn’t chocolate-themed per se, guests can taste their way through the cocoa estate by joining a chocolate-making tour. Guests can also take a guided walking tour to learn about the captivating history of the property.

Fond Doux is 100% Saint Lucian-owned, managed and staffed and considered among St. Lucia’s leading sustainable resorts with Green Globe certification.

In addition to guided nature walks, bird watching, tree planting, cooking and cocktail making classes, you can take advantage of the poolside library and borrow a book or board game to while away the hours. Beach lovers can take the free shuttle to Sugar Beach for sunbathing, snorkeling and water sports. Adrenaline seekers can combine the thrill of zip-lining with a visit to Sulphur Springs to witness the world’s only drive-in volcano.

The Bamboo restaurant offers a la carte lunch and dinner farm-to-table style made with fresh, organic ingredients harvested on the plantation. The Creole Pot restaurant offers diners authentic Saint Lucian Creole cuisine.
