The $100 million redevelopment of what is claimed to be one of the most exclusive retreats in St Lucia is shaping up with construction work beginning on the resort’s spa.
Fly to Let investors are being encouraged to invest in villas on the Sugar Beach development set within the 192 acres of rainforest in Saint Lucia’s Val de Pitons.
The Tides Sugar Beach Rainforest Spa will be developed in line with The Tides signature spa approach offering holistic wellness programs which use sustainable, marine-based spa products and treatments which embrace the style and spirit of the island.
Construction of the spa has already begun with a spectacular walkway through the rainforest. This walkway will connect private cabanas, which will be built at different heights along the spa paths so that guests can enjoy a variety of treatments in the tranquil, setting of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A Sugar Mill building will act as the main entrance, containing a water feature, which will run from the ceiling through the centre of the Sugar Mill and down through each level to collect in the lily pond outside.
There will also be two others entrances to the spa - one directly from the beach and the other a covered path leading down from the reception.
Marco Bonini, managing director of Caribbean specialist Prestigious Properties, which is marketing the Sugar Beach development said: “The Rainforest Spa is a prime example of the world class standards which owners of Sugar Beach villas can expect when making an investment in this development - both luxurious and private.
“This idyllic location demands a world class spa and that is just what it has got.”
The spa will use locally grown products to influence its cuisine and create ocean-inspired dishes. A juice bar is also planned in the middle of the rainforest for guests to relax and take in the tropical surroundings.
