Fond Doux Plantation & Resort announced the procurement of yet another award, but this time there’s two. Travel Weekly is recognizing the historic colonial plantation resort in two categories for 2014: the Gold Magellan Award in the Hospitality Eco-Friendly “Green” Resort/Hotel, and the Silver Magellan Award in the Hospitality Standard Room Design categories.

Fond Doux Plantation & Resort is one of the only resorts in St. Lucia to have been certified both as an organic plantation and as a member of Green Globe. Much of the estate is utilized to grow fruit and vegetables, all of which are used in Fond Doux Plantation & Resort’s two restaurants. The property is totally committed to self-sufficiency and invites everyone to get involved.

Fond Doux Plantation & Resort is a 19th century eco-friendly colonial plantation nestled in the heart of St Lucia. The resort is situated amidst a 250 yr. old working plantation and features an assortment of fifteen uniquely crafted cottages, two onsite restaurants and a collage of outdoor swimming pools. We are conveniently located just minutes away from the island’s main attractions: The Sulphur Springs – the Caribbean’s only “drive-in volcano”, The Pitons and the best diving sites on island all within the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site.
