About the Island & Getting There
About St Lucia
The Land, The People, The Light – St Lucia’s motto couldn’t be more representative of this captivating sovereign island nation. Witness dazzling scenery, be spellbound by the fascinating locals and allow for St Lucia to brighten your day and show you a new way to life.
St Lucia gained its independence from the British Commonwealth in 1979 and after centuries of a French presence, which is most visible today in the original Capital of Soufrière, St Lucia is famous for its Pitons & landscapes and vivacious community.
St Lucia really is a hiker’s Nirvana! Where to start? That’s a tough question. However, with the likes of - The Diamond Botanical Gardens, Enbas Saut Waterfall Trail, Pigeon Island National Park, Sulphur Springs Park Scenic Drive and Tet Paul Nature Trail – it doesn’t matter! These UNESCO listed sites are a sight to behold. If you're likely to take to the water, you'll be able to admire the rich marine biodiversity just off the shore of St Lucia. Over 60% of the marine area is made up of coral reefs and these are very poular with snorkelers and scuba divers. Just make sure you put time aside to relish these privileged land & seascapes.
Start your cultural trip downtown in Castries. Here you will be provided with more than enough entertainment for an afternoon and evening. The local Market runs throughout the week and is certainly the right place to come for exotic fruits and tantalising Street Food - the Green Fig & Salt Fish is local delicacy and it's not scarce, so perhaps try a few variants on this regional intricacy and let us know which is your favourite! The vendors are incredibly animated, so expect a show to be put on if you choose to explore this part of the island and brush up on those haggling skills. La Place Carenage and Point Seraphine are very popular Malls and if you bear in mind the added incentive of these complexes being Duty-Free, you and your guests will certainly get some good deals (A taxi back to your villa after such an excursion is suggested!).
Many holiday makers are surprised to learn of St Lucia’s rich cocoa legacy. Ever since the 1700’s this island has been producing cocoa related products, that are incredibly sought after all across the world. Morne Coubaril Estate and La Dauphine Estate specialise in showcasing how plantations use to gather & manufacture the Cocoa Bean fruit and organise educational tours. After learning all about St Lucia’s former booming cocoa industry, you will probably need some therapy…how about chocolate therapy like you’ve never encountered before? Enquire at some of the islands more renowned Spas and you’ll be able to experience the benefits of a chocolate facial and massage. Remember - Chocolate isn’t a food, it’s a medicine!
We have selected some of the most exciting villas on the island, so browse through these dreamy holiday homes and have a look at our cheeky little guide to St Lucia!

Great Honeymoon
Our concierge was wonderful helping with excursions. Sherma was so wonderful keeping the cottage clean and is a wonderful cook and gave us wonderful recommendations for dinner and things to do. Brian did a wonderful job keeping the pool clean. I couldn’t thank these three enough for making our honeymoon as great as they did. We can’t wait to come back to the island!
-
Highly recommended
A very enjoyable stay, we felt very much at home. The plunge pool was excellent as was the bed and shower. - highly recommended "Orchid Cottage". Thank you very much.

The view is better than expected
The view is better than expected, minutes away from restaurants and bars including the Rodney Bay Area, the bedroom is very comfortable/ air conditioned and overall a great place to stay if you’re planning to stay in the Northern part of the island.

We loved our time at the Orchid Cottage
We loved our time at the Orchid Cottage! The view is even more beautiful in person, and the pool is exactly right for two people. It was the perfect temperature as well, not too warm or too cold. Plus the groundskeeper cleans it daily early in the morning. Everyone at Blue Sky was super friendly, helpful, and responsive. The host checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything or had any questions. She also booked a catamaran for us! The cleaning service was thorough and frequent. There were only a few things we didn’t love. The bed was very large, but a bit hard - as were the pillows. We got used to the bed after a few nights and we were brought other pillows after we asked, however. Also there is only A/C in the bedroom, so the kitchen and living room get very humid, but if you open the patio doors and get a breeze going it isn’t bad at all. Also beware of the potholes going up the road in Cap Estate! Overall, we loved are trip! 5 stars and definitely would recommend!

Orchid Cottage was a romantic getaway.
Orchid Cottage was a romantic getaway. The pool was warm and delightful! The staff were wonderful! While the drive/driveway was a bit treacherous, it was well worth it. Close to do much. Wonderful restaurants. But the best of all, was waking up to INCREDIBLE views every morning, and sitting on the deck or in the pool every evening. Best trip ever!!

A great stay
My husband and I had a great stay at Orchid Cottage. Brian was there upon arrival and explained everything to us. The view is incredible and it was just enough room for the two of us. Thank you to Margueritte for always being available when we needing something.

Lovely cottage with a fantastic view
Lovely cottage with a fantastic view from the deck and quiet, private surroundings which is perfect for a relaxing holiday. A car is pretty essential as restaurants and supermarkets are not within walking distance but there are lots of beaches and bays within a 15-20 minute drive. The hosts are easily contactable if you need anything and the cottage is well equipped. In all a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

I loved the area
My wife and I loved the area, it was very private which is exactly what we were looking for. It was very close to Rodney bay area, short drive to beaches and Pigeon island.

Simply Magical!
Our stay at Orchid Cottage was magical. The cottage was exactly as it’s displayed in the photos. We arrived late at night and Brian was kind enough to wait for our arrival and was there if we had any questions or concerns. The management team was very quick to respond to our questions. The cottage was well maintained, clean and peaceful. We would highly recommend this beautiful getaway to anyone looking for an escape.”

Fantasic weekend break away!
We stayed for my mums 50th surprise birthday as a family break away. The house was beautiful and the surrounding area was great. Perfect for what we wanted, it’s only drawback was lots of bugs around outside which did hinder us opening windows and eating outside as much but would still highly recommend.

We came here for our Honeymoon and could not have picked a more perfect retreat.
This fabulous cottage is located on the Cap Estate, which has beautiful views across the golf course out to the Atlantic. It is a very quiet and peaceful area yet you are less than a ten minute drive away from Rodney Bay Marina.
The cottage itself is very well equipped, has a beautiful covered veranda and lovely pool and sunbathing area, all of which are very private.
The staff, Sherma and Brian were fabulous and extremely helpful. Sherma cooked us a lovely St Lucian lunch, all from local food.
One of our favourite beaches, The Naked Fisherman is a five minute drive away set in a beautiful cove with a lovely restaurant. Other beaches are The Landings, Sandals and Pigeon Island. Pigeon Island has a beautiful restaurant called Jambe de Bois which on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings has live music.
We would definitely recommend hiring a car. We had a Suzuki Jimny 4x4 which was great especially when we drove to see the Pitons and to just explore the Island! Marigot Bay is another lovely Marina.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation in recommending this amazing cottage. -
