Sandals Resorts is adding more high-end suite options and new dining in the southern Caribbean. At Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia, travelers can now book one of 22 new Rondoval Butler Villas, standalone circular suites with private plunge pools, outdoor soaking tubs, and butler service. Eight feature private rooftop terraces supported by the brand's Stargazing Concierge for curated moonlit picnics and guided sky sessions. Meanwhile, Sandals Saint Vincent has upgraded 24 Butler Villa Suites with private plunge pools, and the brand's open-fire, family-style restaurant, Buccan, has debuted at La Toc. Couples looking for maximum privacy and culinary variety can plan around these additions now.

Sandals Resorts, new suites and dining

La Toc's new Rondoval Butler Villas expand the resort's top-tier inventory with secluded pool sanctuaries and, in select villas, rooftop terraces designed for stargazing with concierge support. On Saint Vincent, the addition of private plunge pools to 24 Butler Villa Suites creates another bookable category that blends indoor-outdoor living with butler service and in-room dining. On the culinary side, Buccan's move from Saint Vincent to La Toc brings a set-menu, communal, open-hearth dinner anchored in local ingredients such as green fig and callaloo, aiming for conversation-friendly courses and a sense of place.

Latest developments

Bookings for the new La Toc Rondoval Butler Villas and the Saint Vincent plunge-pool Butler Villa Suites are live through Sandals' direct channels. Buccan now appears on La Toc's restaurant lineup, with a fixed-menu, reservation-required dinner service.

Analysis

For honeymooners and anniversary trips, the utility is clear, more privacy, more "at-suite" relaxation, and a dining experience that removes decision fatigue at day's end. Rooftop Rondovals typically carry the fastest sell-through on popular dates, so flexible couples should search midweek arrivals to improve availability. If value stacking matters, consider pairing dates with current brand offers that apply across room categories to reduce the effective nightly rate. Sandals 'Stay More, Save More' runs into 2027.

Background A "Rondoval" is Sandals' circular villa concept, often with conical ceilings and integrated plunge pools, positioned as a high-privacy alternative to overwater or skypool suites. The brand's Stargazing Concierge, introduced at other properties, organizes rooftop telescope sessions and themed amenities on nights with favorable conditions. Buccan is Sandals' open-fire, family-style concept that launched at Sandals Saint Vincent and emphasizes local, shared courses served in a set progression.

Final thoughts

Sandals' latest round of upgrades, new Rondoval Butler Villas at La Toc, plunge-pool Butler Villa Suites on Saint Vincent, and Buccan's expansion to La Toc, gives couples more ways to combine privacy, service, and sense of place across two neighboring islands.
