Overview
Overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea on the western coast of Saint Lucia, flanked by the Petit Piton and tropical greenery, Colibri Cottage is a peaceful, luxurious retreat. With flexible accommodation sleeping up to twelve people, this wonderful tropical home is where you can escape to with either a small number or friends and family or gather together for a group celebration.
Colibri Cottage consists of two buildings. The main villa provides two sumptuous bedrooms, featuring king size four poster beds, en-suite bathrooms and gorgeous views. An adjacent, detached villa is where your remaining bedrooms are found but the accommodation is discreetly divided into two self-contained apartments. Each apartment has two bedrooms, with the beds available either as twins or, when zipped together, as a king size double. You also have a living-kitchen space, ceiling fans, two bathrooms and the most incredible views from the long, inviting verandah looking out to sea.
Back in the main house, your cosy living room, dining room and kitchen, where fresh white walls, dark wood furniture and pops of tropical colour thanks to locally grown flowers and fruit, leave you in no doubt as to your heavenly, Caribbean location. Move through the shutter doors to discover Colibri Cottage’s real wow factor – your breath-taking outdoors. A large, covered living and dining terrace boasts comfortable lounge seating and a good-sized dining table. This fabulous space is where everyone can come together, in the cool shade, and share relaxed times and al fresco meals. Your housekeeper is available to cook breakfast or lunch every day, ensuring you take it easy, sit back and soak up your delightful surroundings and views.
Beyond the terrace, your tropical gardens bask in Saint Lucian sunshine and are burgeoning with palm trees, flowering plants, birds and butterflies. The blue of the Caribbean Sea provides a glistening backdrop and lures you further down the lawn, yet your eye is drawn by your impossibly long, infinity edge, swimming pool. Wow! Claimed to be the longest private pool on the island, it’s all yours for swimming to your heart’s content, splashing with family and friends, cooling against the hot sun and just gazing out to sea. Welcome to paradise! The pool terrace is broad, fringed with tropical flowers and dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas. Long, hot, sunny, lazy, blissful pool-side days await.
Colibri Cottage is a villa that just keeps giving, as your nearest beach is only a short walk away, taking you even closer to Petit Piton; the impressive landmark just along the coast and neighbouring World Heritage Site. If you want to discover more of this beautiful island, Soufriere town is a short drive and you have a choice of gorgeous beaches within easy reach.

Location
About the surrounding area of Colibri CottageEven though Colibri Cottage and her environs provide everything you could ever wish for from a Caribbean holiday - including a beach within walking distance – you’re not far from delightful sightseeing spots along Saint Lucia’s west coast. Colibri Cottage is located between the iconic Petit Piton and Malgretoute Bay.
The Pitons are two towering peaks of rock, called Gros Piton and Petit Piton. The surrounding forest and natural landscape, including a volcano, thermal springs and park, have been granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO and provide endless ways of investigating the lush vegetation, hikes, trails and therapeutic hot pools. A prestigious resort occupies a breath-taking position on a ridge between the two peaks. To admire this scenery at the end of the day, visit Ladera Resort’s sun deck for drinks at sunset. For top quality Caribbean cuisine, stay for dinner at the renowned restaurant, Dasheene.
One of the best beaches along this coast is Anse Chastanet, and it’s only about fifteen minutes’ drive from Colibri Cottage. A pretty, curved stretch of white sand, head here for tropical sunbathing, umbrellas for hire, cocktails beach-side and fantastic snorkelling off-shore in the warm, crystal clear waters. The Marine Reserve around this area helps sea life to flourish, and the local shipwrecks offer exciting sites to explore on diving trips.
The original capital of Saint Lucia, Soufriere is considered to represent the heart and soul of the island. Old colonial buildings blend perfectly with a lively beach-front entertainment quarter, ensuring you experience the Caribbean in all its colourful, fascinating, multi-layered splendour. Bars, restaurants and hotels offer fabulous views as well as mouth-watering cuisine. You can easily visit Soufriere as often as you like during your stay at Colibri Cottage, as it’s only about ten minutes by car.

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!

Put it on your bucket list!
This is one of the most astounding vistas on the globe and should be near the top of everyone’s bucket list. From every vantage point on the estate, the Petit Piton towers above you. It’s no wonder that some of the most luxurious yachts in the world anchor immediately offshore to share the view of the Piton and of this property, no doubt jealous of those at Colibri that get to daily enjoy it.

Loved it!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colibri Cottage. The house is beautiful and the setting is studding with the lap pool and the Petite Piton and the water in the background. We were very close in proximity to all of the excursions that we did, so driving wasn't very far when we went out for an adventure. If you are a scuba diver, this location is great, for it is a few minutes in a boat ride to get to each dive site.

A wonderful place to relax
Situated above the charming port of Soufriere with a direct view of the Piton steps from a secluded beach, this is a home designed for up to 12 people living as close or as separately as one chooses. Enjoy the home with a perfect infinity pool suitable for lap swimming, conversation and reading areas for everyone. Walk into Soufriere or hike to Sugar Beach and other nearby restaurants. Drive to the rainforest for parrot watching.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
