Villa of the Month
Les Chaudiers
| |
|
Les Chaudiers is a secluded luxury getaway in Saint Lucia’s west coast village of Anse La Raye, perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This villa is part of the Collection de Pépites, comprising properties with under 35 rooms. Its name is derived from the multitude of cast iron cauldrons throughout the grounds originally used on the island's sugarcane plantations to boil down sugarcane juice to make molasses and rum. This luxury villa includes three bedrooms, two baths, and one outdoor shower, comfortably accommodating nine guests.
Hike the short trail through a dense rainforest sprinkled with flowering bushes and trees, and the very secluded Anse Galet beach awaits below. A short swim into the bay yields a beautiful coral reef, home to a brilliant variety of tropical fish, which is well regarded for snorkeling. Learn more here.
