Nestled in the heart of Soufrière, St. Lucia, Fond Doux is a 19th-century eco-friendly colonial resort that is best nzcasinosonline.co.nz known for its romantic, intimate and private “eco-luxurious” cottages.
The resort is situated amidst a 250-year-old cocoa plantation and features an assortment of 17 uniquely crafted cottages, two on-site restaurants, a collage of outdoor swimming pools, as well as an organic spa.

The Bamboo Restaurant offers a “plantation to plate” experience where the chef uses freshly picked fruits, vegetables and spices grown on the organic plantation to create authentic, delicious Creole dishes.
Fond Doux 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.
A recent addition to its offerings is the Fond Doux Historical Park, featuring an 18th century French fortress, prison cells, a shrine, nature trails, picnic areas, Kaye Flore, and an interpretation center, aiming to teach locals as well as visitors about the history of St. Lucia.
