Please consult us for more information** The villa is situated in the exclusive Cap Estate at the northern tip of the tropical Island of St Lucia, which is set amongst 1500 acres of rolling hills, sitting perfectly between the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, offering the region’s most spectacular views. With an 18-hole golf course, beautiful coastal walks and two idyllic beaches right on your doorstep you won’t have to go far to enjoy a variety of activities.
Your nearest beach at Cap Maison, known as “Smugglers Cove” has a fantastic variety of complimentary non-motorized water sports to entertain the big and little kids amongst you. Activities range from kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing, paddle boarding, wind surfing and snorkelling on the house reef – you may even spot a turtle or two.  Head to Pigeon Island National Park just 3km away, for a beautiful beach set amongst stunning scenery. After sunning yourself on the golden sand and swimming in the azure waters, you can visit the museum or climb to the vantage point of the historic Fort Rodney for awe-inspiring views including that of neighbouring island Martinique. You’ll also find two lovely restaurants and a brilliant rum bar located in the underground warren beneath the fort.
Other notable beaches include the natural black sandy beach of Anse Chastanet, where you can scuba on most of the Island’s beautiful coral reef, or perhaps you’d like to head to Grande Anse 25km south, where you can watch endangered leatherbacks crawl out of the water and lay their eggs on the shores. Or for family fun head to Reduit Beach, where banana boats whiz across the water and beach front bars pump out lively music. It’s also home to Splash Island Water Park, an essential excursion for kids of all ages.
For lively town life, you have Rodney Bay just 4.5km away with its bustling nightlife, attractive marina bursting with supersized yachts, and many bars shops and restaurants. The real vibe however can be found just a few minutes further south in Gros Islet, where the historic streets are lined with rum shops and fishing shacks draped with drying nets, and the sound of reggae can always be heard day and night. Delve into culinary delights such as freshly cut coconut, barbecue chicken and freshly caught cod, and party the night away at a Jump Up – the fabulous rum infused street parties this area is famous for.
No visit to St Lucia is complete without heading to the island’s 19,000 acres of magnificent rainforest 20km south of the villa. With ferns as big as a house, wild orchids, waterfalls, and maybe even a sighting of the endangered St Lucia parrot, hiking on one of its many trails is the perfect way to spend the day. An aerial tram can cake you high above the canopy or for the more adventurous there are three adrenaline-pumping ziplines.
A plethora of activities can be explored throughout the Island. Catch a dollar bus half an hour to St Lucia’s vibrant capital Castries on a Saturday morning, where you’ll find row after row of market stalls, piled high with mouth-watering fruits and spices. Or for avid hikers, perched along the southwest coast and protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the dramatic twin peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton are among the Caribbean island’s most memorable landmarks. But for the more serine, simply soak in the mud beneath the Sulphur Springs, and who knows, if local legend prevails, you may even come home looking ten years younger!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
