Nestled in the heart of St. Lucia, Fond Doux Plantation & Resort is a 19th-century eco-friendly colonial resort that is best known for its romantic, intimate and private “eco-luxury” cottages. The resort is situated amidst a 250-year-old working plantation and features an assortment of 16 uniquely crafted cottages, two on-site restaurants, a collage of outdoor swimming pools, as well as an organic spa.
The resort also features a wedding gazebo, the Plas Cacao Chocolate shop, a traditional cocoa fermenter house, and a hall of fame. The resort is a scenic 45-minute drive from the island’s international airport and just minutes away from St. Lucia’s main attractions, including The Pitons, Sulphur Springs – the “Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano” – and the best diving sites on the island, all within a prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a 160-year-old colonial house that was slated for demolition in the city of Castries. This two-story villa was purchased from the original owner, dismantled, and trucked to Fond Doux, it was then rebuilt and restored by artisans who specialize in the old building techniques.
This Building typifies Caribbean architecture in a beautiful, airy, and bright way accented with allusions to the French colonial style including attractive jalousie shutters and exotic touches of white gingerbread on the outside verandas. On the top floor, there is a spacious master bedroom and bathroom, on the bottom floor a dining room, bedroom, bathroom, living room, a divan bed in the living room, and an outside kitchen. Prince Charles visited this cottage as part of his official tour of Fond Doux Estate.
