Crystals

St Lucia


Indian and Caribbean touches, wood-carved furnishings and a tree-house bar are just some of the features at this wonderful off-beat retreat. No two cottages are alike, but they all have air-conditioning, private barbecue areas and plunge pools. The views of the Pitons and the valley of Soufrière are mesmerizing.

The spacious fully equipped kitchens are just that – there's four different ways to make coffee! But there's no need to cook, the on-site restaurant has been given a makeover and now offers authentic Indian and other Asian cuisine served on one of its panoramic platforms or in one of the richly decorated tents in the yard.

It's located just outside town off the road to Castries.
