Spending the holidays in an island paradise may seem like a far-fetched fantasy this year, but thanks to luxury St. Lucia resort Sugar Beach, a dreamy seaside Christmas (or New Year's Eve) can be a reality. The property, an acclaimed Viceroy resort, is emphasizing cleanliness and social distancing this winter — but holiday dinners, festivals, beach parties, and deals will still be plentiful. And who wouldn't want to ring in 2021 that way?

1	Promise of Cleanliness — Sugar Beach's new action plan includes physical distancing, luggage and high-touch surface disinfection, and close monitoring of CDC and WHO guidelines.
2	Socially Distanced Villas, Bungalows, and Residences —For extra privacy and distancing from other guests, book one of the property's more remote spaces complete with butler service and in-room dining.
3	Christmas and New Year's Celebrations —Dreaming of spending the holidays at Sugar Beach? Those who stay during Christmas or New Year's Eve can join in on exclusive holiday dinners, beach parties, light festivals, cruises, room rates, and more.
4	The Terrace Restaurant —Enjoy an elegant al fresco meal at Sugar Beach's premiere breakfast destination as tropical breezes roll in and the Caribbean sea sparkles in the distance.

5	Bayside Beach Bar —After a day of water sports, spa services, and beaching, unwind with a cocktail right on the sand at the resort's Bayside Beach Bar, then stick around to watch the sunset.
6	Rainforest Spa —A coconut milk healing massage or chocolate scrub treatment is always a good idea — especially when it's happening in a rainforest treehouse.
7	Work From Hotel Program —Out of vacation days? No problem. Sugar Beach's Work From Hotel offer includes private cabana work space, a complimentary massage, and plenty of food and drinks to pamper you while you work.
