Boucan by Hotel Chocolat

Overview

Nestled among the lush cocoa groves and tangled rainforest of the historic Rabot Estate on the island of St Lucia, Boucan by Hotel Chocolat opens the doors to a world of sublime luxury, relaxation and indulgence. Boasting beautifully appointed lodges tucked away among the verdant foliage, not to mention a world-class restaurant serving up mouth-watering cacao-inspired recipes and the aptly named Cocoa Juvenate Spa, this resort promises an unforgettable – and dazzlingly unique – hotel experience.

Situated as it is on a working cocoa plantation, overlooking the majestic Piton Mountains, Boucan seamlessly combines both the agricultural and the gastronomic aspects of this most treasured foodstuff, while at the same time providing you with 5 star service and a taste of warm St Lucian hospitality.

Room Types

The accommodation at Boucan by Hotel Chocolat is divided into Lodges and Luxe Lodges.
There are 6 Lodges, each one measuring 450 square feet and set around a charming garden courtyard looking out over Petit Piton. All lodges come with a plush king-sized bed, a lounging sofa and spectacular open-sky rainforest shower.

Luxe Lodge

There are 8 Luxe Lodges at the resort, situated in an elevated location to command sweeping views of the Pitons and the glittering Caribbean. Each Luxe Lodge is 750 square feet in size and boasts a super king-size four-poster bed, not to mention an open-sky twin rainforest shower and a private veranda complete with sun loungers.
Lodge

All lodges come with a range of luxury amenities including a pre-loaded iPod and docking station, a welcome bottle of wine, complimentary toiletries and daily refreshed coffee, tea, chocolate goodies, water and ice. Free WiFi is available throughout the resort.

Facilities

Also incorporating decadent cacao-inspired recipes is the Cocoa Juvenate Spa, which employs the cacao bean to make its lotions and other spa products. Enjoy a blissful Cacao massage or Cacao Detox Body Wrap in a treatment room offering spectacular views of the Piton peak – the perfect way to relax on your Boucan honeymoon.

Another great way to unwind is by taking a dip in the black quartz infinity pool at Club Boucan, before flopping down on a pool lounger and enjoying a selection of tasty nibbles and refreshing beverages. But if you would prefer a more upbeat activity, why not try the hotel’s Tree-To-Bar Experience, a fascinating tour which showcases how the cacao beans are grown, fermented, dried – and then turned into particularly delicious chocolate.

Other tours are also available at Boucan, ranging from Cocoa Grove Walks to the Sulphur Spring Volcano Power Walk and a ‘Boucaneer’ Underwater Explorer excursion, which includes snorkelling and a scenic cruise.

Restaurants

Delectable dining at Boucan is provided by The Restaurant, an elegant but relaxed all-day dining venue which serves up an innovative cacao-inspired menu, artfully combined with the freshest local produce, meat and seafood. The menu includes such mouth-watering dishes as Creole fish, Lightly Curried Coconut & Cacao Chicken and Rabot Chocolate Lava for dessert.
