The real Hotel Chocolat

By dayHave a dip in the pool and then a soothing cocoa butter massage. Snooze on your private veranda.

Or go exploring the 140 lush acres of the estate – strolling under the dappled light of the cocoa groves, taking part in the cocoa harvest, picking and tasting sun-warmed fruit from papaya, mango and guava trees, trail hiking and nature watching. Or choose to spend the day on a classically Caribbean sandy

beach, swimming, snorkeling, sailing and kayaking.

Discover…

Our boutique hotel on the island of Saint Lucia, where natural beauty, effortless well-being and luxurious style come together. Surrounded by the sun dappled cocoa groves of our plantation,

you’ll stay in one of only 14 exclusive Cocoa Pod Cottages. With stunning views of the iconic Piton Mountains and the glittering Caribbean Sea, there really is no place on earth quite like it.

We’re delighted to offer Hotel Chocolat customers a preferential 20% off room prices during our soft launch*
