Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat ST LUCIA
Hotel Chocolat is a British luxury chocolate brand so obsessed with cacao that it bought and restored Rabot Estate, the oldest cacao farm on Saint Lucia. Nestled within 140 acres of lush, tropical rainforest set 300 metres above sea level in the island’s south, the adult-only resort overlooks the UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s home to the iconic Piton mountains. Offering natural luxury on the grounds of
its working organic cacao farm, Rabot Hotel is a spellbinding Caribbean getaway comprising 25 private lodges, a restaurant, bar, spa and an infinity pool. Created to fit perfectly within the stunning rainforest surroundings, the hotel’s architecture connects guests with nature through an open-air design combining Saint Lucian charm and sleek contemporary aesthetics. Guests can stay in one of 19 Luxe Lodges with
doors that open onto a private veranda with dramatic views across the Caribbean rainforest to the Piton Mountains. In the six Lodges, guests are able to slide open the shutters for views of the scenic garden courtyard. All lodges feature pitched
wooden roofs, cool stone walls, a super king four- poster bed and an open-air rainforest shower. Rabot Restaurant offers an extensive menu
exploring sweet and savoury culinary expressions of the cacao grown on the estate. It makes the most of the superb local produce, from the huge array of fresh seafood to seasonal vegetables and plentiful fruit grown on the estate. Guests can enjoy a range of signature chocolate cocktails at the Cacao Bar while taking in the sensational sunsets. A world of unique experiences awaits guests at
Rabot Hotel, from tree-to-bar chocolate-making at Hotel Chocolat’s Project Chocolat site to exploring the working cacao farm via a network of estate trails, chocolate and rum tastings, herb garden visits with the head chef and trips to the local market in Soufriere to learn more about local, sustainably sourced produce. There are also wellness offerings such as poolside yoga, forest meditation or cacao-infused therapies and massages at the Beauté de Cacao Spa. The hotel also has a private boat for exploring the beautiful Caribbean coast and marine wildlife.
Don’t miss The immersive Project Chocolat Tree to Bar tour, which gives visitors a unique perspective on the creation of chocolate
