The sheer number of activities
on offer at Sugar Beach is
dizzying. Watersports from the
jetty include windsurfing, sailing
and paddleboarding, and for
non-scuba-divers there’s lovely
snorkelling, too. Coral Garden
Reef at the foot of picture-
postcard-pretty Gros Piton is the
highlight of a two-hour kayak-and-
dive/snorkel adventure; you might
spot rare sargassum triggerfish.
The resort has its own PADI dive
facility, and there are countless
options around the island, from
the glorious coral reef at Trou
Diable to the aptly named Turtle
Reef where you’re likely to see
both hawksbill and green species.
There are activities for kids and
teens, plus babysitting services,
and rooms range from beachfront
bungalows to luxury villas. The
resort’s laudable environmental
and sustainability policy aims
to ensure that the gorgeous
environment is protected for
future generations.
