Getting There

In the Neighborhood of Sugar Beach

Around the resort, guests will find numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. Also, keep in mind that Sugar Beach is somewhat secluded, so you would have to get a taxi to see anything beyond the nearby nature-based activities. 

Nearest Airport to Sugar Beach 

Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) is 22 miles (about 50 minutes). 

Nearest Public Transportation to Sugar Beach

The best way to get around is by taxi, but the roads in St. Lucia are not for the faint of heart. Many roads are narrow, one-way streets with steep inclines and potholes, making it hard to get around and be comfortable at the same time. 

The Bottom Line

Sugar Beach is an idyllic island paradise for families and couples searching for a relaxing oceanfront escape.
