The real Hotel Chocolat – Opening 1st November 2010

“

When I first walked onto The Rabot Estate in St Lucia, 5 years ago, my jaw dropped – the twin Pitons rise majestically in front of you, the azure blue Caribbean Sea nestles between, and rainforest stretches behind.

The soothing breeze is constant and gentle at 1000 feet above sea level and the warm air is scented with mango, banana and ripening cocoa. Add to this natural paradise, the warmth and good humour of the St Lucians and the barefoot luxury of our boutique hotel and you will understand my enthusiasm to encourage you to treat yourself to this unique experience.

Angus

”

By day

Have a dip in the pool. Then a cocoa butter massage.

Snooze on your private veranda. With 140 lush acres to explore there’s lots to do – strolling under the dappled light of the cocoa groves, taking part in the cocoa harvest, picking and tasting sun-warmed fruit from the papaya, mango and guava estate trees, trail hiking and nature watching. The beach is just down the hill with swimming, diving, sailing and kayaking on a classic Caribbean sandy beach.

By NIGHT

As the tree frogs begin singing, the hotel’s Boucan Restaurant and Bar is the coolest place in St Lucia for a sundowner. As you would expect from Hotel Chocolat, the exciting menu has a strong connection with cocoa, chocolate and local sustainable ingredients.

Your Accommodation Just 14 Cocoa Pod Cottages and Villas make up the intimate and exclusive guest accommodation. Finished to a high specification with double bedrooms, ultra high thread count cotton sheets, marble lined double-basin bathrooms with rainforest open-sky showers, private verandas with rocking chairs and well stocked concierge cabinets.

The Launch Offer Special launch offers will be available for our customers. Please pre-register to ensure you receive your preferential offer. We will then send you full details of preferential prices and a brochure.
