Soufriere, Saint Lucia It’s hard to imagine a place in the Caribbean more beautiful than Saint Lucia, whether you’re in the green hills of Marigot Bay or Reduit Beach. But Soufriere, set on the island’s southwestern coast, is almost its own separate destination, a place of rainforests and cacao plantations and magnificent boutique hotels. Whether you’re at Ladera or the Hotel Chocolat or the Fond Doux Plantation, Soufriere is a portal to a very different, very beautiful, very real Caribbean getaway.
