The Spice of Life nine-bedroom villa is the newest bombshell to enter Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Hotel. In other words... it's the main character.
St. Lucia is a stunning destination and Sugar Beach is simply something else. The new Spice of Life Residence is the Love Island plot twist no one saw coming, and can't stop talking about. This new villa was recently featured in British Vogue, elevating Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Hotel to the next level in terms of privacy and luxury in the Eastern Caribbean.
Nestled within the breathtaking backdrop of the Piton Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the residence features impeccable design and St. Lucia's finest art collection. Spacious enough to accommodate up to 18 guests, but also intimate enough to welcome just two, the 35,000 square foot accommodation offers state-of-the-art facilities that include a private swimming pool, private beach access, a main and supplemental commercial-grade kitchen, spacious living and dining room spaces, and 13 bathrooms.
On top of it's grand size and spectacular amenities, the residence was also built around an extraordinary private art collection featuring works by Yayoi Kusama, Dalí, KAWS, Tom Sachs, and other renowned artists.

World-Class & Sustainable Design
Built from the ground up and designed by the acclaimed Botelho Wood Architects, Spice of Life spans an impressive 35,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 18 guests. Drawing inspiration from its natural surroundings and magnificent art collection, the villa's interiors were designed with these elements as focal points, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. All materials are locally sourced, using wood and stone that give a soft and natural feel, with custom-made furniture in muted tones to ensure the striking art takes center stage. The nine spacious bedrooms all offer unique configurations, including Emperor King Beds, or twin bed setups perfect for families and friends, with ocean views.
Emphasizing sustainability, Spice of Life incorporates a sustainable water system and integrated solar power. With a gray water tank, the property is designed to collect rain water to be stored and reused, capable of holding 50,000 gallons each.
