“I DO” ECO-LUXURY
Your Wedding On Fond Doux’s 250 Year Old Lush Green Plantation
Legend has it that François Pignon, a french man who journeyed by boat
for several months to Saint Lucia, and while exploring the lush vegetation of
Soufriere, he set eyes on a young and beautiful slave girl Ruth. The passionate love affair that developed between Ruth and Francois transcended all
social taboos of the time. They made their union official in a sacred garden
that would ensure that their bond endured time. This left the legacy that is
Fondoux Holiday Plantation, a refuge for all future lovers. Today Fondoux
Holiday Plantation is one of Saint Lucia’s best kept secrets in one of the most
breathtaking locations on the island and invites you to share in this passion
of love that defies barriers and obstacles. This property combines a wonderful balance of heritage and nature to create the ultimate wedding backdrop
for those who love seclusion and privacy; your wedding in a modern day
garden of Eden.
Step back into time into the Jardin D”Amour or the Garden of Love. If you
are looking for a tropical wedding in paradise, genuine personal service,
unique cottage accommodations and a lifetime of memories, Fond Doux
Estate is the answer. Whether you envision a private romantic ceremony
for two in a lush paradise or an extra ordinary renewal of vows for you
and your families and friends, they offer a variety of wedding packages to
choose from. Each package is designed to give you a real authentic Saint Lucian wedding experience; however they can all be tailored to your specific
needs and requests. Your wedding will be set against the backdrop of one of
the rare certified organic estates on Saint Lucia voted by the British newspaper The Guardian as one of the five best plantation retreats…in the world.
The plantation dates back more than 250 years carrying on the traditional
30
cocoa production as well as providing holiday accommodations. In fact
when his Royal highness the prince of Wales and his wife, the Duchess of
Cornwall visited St. Lucia in 2008, they toured the Fond Doux Cocoa estate
in Soufriere. It was their only visit to a private property on their 24 hour
stopover in St.Lucia.
The Cocoa Pod and Jardin Cacao Restaurants at Fond Doux Holiday Plantation offer up sumptuous Caribbean and international cuisine in beautiful
tropical environs, excellent for newly-weds to celebrate official union. Set
amid the tropical gardens of Fond Doux estate, these two restaurants enjoy
tropical breezes and bright tropical light where diners can appreciate the
truly magical ambiance of the estate.
Fond Doux Holiday Plantation offers 10 cottages most of which are 100
year old restored colonial homes acquired from all over Saint Lucia. Rescued from demolition, the buildings were painstakingly dismantled and
transported to the estate, where they were lovingly restored as guest accommodations and today stand as monuments of the island’s rich colonial
history. Rooms are fully equiped with complete privacy for our newly weds.
Our team will work with you to coordinate all the details to help you create
the wedding of your dreams!
