I recently had the opportunity to experience this stunning property during an exclusive FAM (familiarization) trip for travel advisors, and I can confidently say that it’s one of the most unforgettable resorts I’ve ever stayed at. Tucked between the iconic Pitons and set directly on a stretch of sugar-white sand, Sugar Beach isn’t just a pretty backdrop, it’s a thoughtfully curated luxury experience that balances barefoot island ease with five-star service.

When I tell people I’ve been to Antarctica, the reactions are usually a mix of awe, curiosity, and “Wait, how did you do that?” And honestly, it’s a fair question. Visiting the sixth continent (Australia was my seventh) isn’t as simple as hopping on Kayak and clicking “book.” With so many expedition ships, varying itineraries, and a wide range of price points (some that seem too good to be true - because they are), it’s a destination where you really want to get it right.
