Find peace and tranquility at Residence du Cap, an elegant two story villa perched high in the hills of the private Cap Estate: a 1,500 acre property on the grounds of an old sugar plantation. See the best of St. Lucia without leaving your terrace, with views across Pigeon Island to the Caribbean Sea. On a clear day the neighboring island of Martinique is visible on the horizon, as are the famous Pitons mountains.

Between the main villa and the two storey guest cottage, a beautiful tiled terrace attracts sun all day. Spend afternoons reclined in cushioned sunloungers that surround the diamond-shaped pool. When it’s time to cool off, a sleek, columned veranda wraps its way around the main house providing plenty of cozy seating options. As the sun begins to set, head towards the balustered railing with a cocktail and watch boats twinkle along the darkening horizon.

Inside, a lively color palette of green and fuchsia, plus light streaming in through French doors and windows create a breezy tropical feel.
