What to Do
We stayed at Sugar Beach a year ago for our honeymoon. It was during the height of the COVID, so we did not leave the resort much. With the water activities, spa, restaurants, nightly live entertainment and social events for guests we had plenty to do.
Rainforest Spa – The spa treatment rooms here are incredibly unique treehouses built on stilts high above the ground overlooking the mountains and the rainforest. After our couples massage we enjoyed lunch on our treehouse terrace that included fresh local foods, fruits, tea, and sparkling wine.
Pitons – Climb the Gross Piton for an extremely difficult yet rewarding 2,619 foot experience that provides breathtaking views. The total hike takes about 4 hours and includes some steep inclines and rock climbing. We had an amazing local guide who climbs the mountain several times per day. She was invaluable in navigating the route and keeping us safe. The way up was quite intense, but coming down even more intense. Renting hiking sticks and packing lots of water is a must! Another hike option is the Petite Piton, a 2,461 ft climb. While the Petite Piton is the smaller of the two mountains it is a much more difficult climb and is intended for experience climbers.
Water activities – Sugar Beach offers plenty of complimentary water actives such as paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling etc. There are also many additional activities such as deep sea fishing, scuba diving, whale and dolphin watching, etc. We did the sunset cruise, which was magnificent. We met some really nice friends who joined us on our private catamaran and we even had a school of dolphins that stayed with us while we sailed out.
