The hotel
In a spectacular elevated setting above Jolly Harbour, Sugar Ridge is a family-owned, independent, boutique hotel set amongst sugar-cane —hence the name! — and indigenous flora providing a beautiful setting — it really is the sweetest thing. Located on 11 acres of sloping parkland surrounded with colourful, indigenous flora and fauna, this certified Green Globe Hotel is fashionable in design and offers unparalleled views over the Caribbean Sea, palm-lined beaches and the headlands to Five Islands Bay. Tiered guest rooms are bright and spacious with stunning views of your spectacular surrounds. Contemporary in style, they’re also elegant, providing the perfect home-from-home experience. Ideal for a relaxing couples holiday, this hotel really does offer the best of both worlds — intimate seclusion with beaches, shopping, dining, galleries and attractions within easy access. Dining at the hotel is a treat with two distinct restaurants. Enjoy stunning sunsets and fine dining at Carmichael’s or discover the more casual buzzy atmosphere of the Sugar Club Restaurant, with both indoor and outdoor dining and live entertainment three times a week. Packed lunches are available for those of you who plan to explore the island. There are no less than three pools to choose from at the hotel and to make sure you're completely relaxed, pool attendants will be there to offer snacks and drinks, complimentary water scented with tropical fruit and refreshing cold scented towels. Bliss.
