THE PROPERTY:
The 320 sq. ft. luxury safari tent was hand crafted by Exclusive Tents out of South Africa, who have been in business for over 30 years, serving customers like Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin collection. The octagon shaped Bachuma tent has 6 floor-to-ceiling netted windows, allowing for cooling cross breezes, and 2 secure wooden glass doors. The front door opens directly onto the private 22’ saltwater infinity pool with unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and the back door allows private access to an oversized garden shower. A garden foot path and gate offers easy access from the pool deck to the coral stone outdoor shower. The tent’s 14’ peaked ceiling with a remote activated 54” ceiling fan and 6’ floor-to-ceiling netted windows allow for comfortable, natural air living. The option for A/C is available if you’d prefer. Interior furnishings include a locally made 4 poster king bed fitted with luxury white bedding and oversized pillows, two plantation lounge chairs, a small table, a woven bench and more. 2 single cots can also be provided for children.
The interior bathroom includes a river rock vanity sink, a wardrobe with drawers, towel racks, toilet and immediate access to the outdoor shower.
Tech comforts include a Bluetooth projector with a 100” fabric screen to stream your favourite content, inside or out and a Bose Bluetooth waterproof speaker for poolside tunes plus a small safe for your valuables.
The deck has a covered outdoor kitchen and bar that includes a gas barbecue, utility sink, mini fridge, small appliances and bar/kitchen supplies. An outside dining table with oversized umbrella and canvas backed director’s chairs and sun loungers are all poolside.
A large grass area adjacent to the deck is another lovely spot to gaze at the ocean, shaded by a towering almond tree. Or discover the hammock between the coconut trees or the path to the beach.
The property has easy access to a private white sand beach area for Lumière guests only, where you’ll find hammocks and loungers under mature coconut and almond trees. A small staircase continues down to touch the water on the lower natural beach (sandy/pebble/rock), that is shared only with 2 other private villas. The protected cove is host to a collection of snorkelling reefs, abundant with tropical fish, turtles and the occasional octopus!
The top of the property is where our orchard is located, with fruiting trees such as mango, avocado, grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, cocoa and soursop. You will also discover cherry, breadfruit, guava, pineapples, watermelons and many other fruit and vegetable species throughout the property. With an abundance of coconut trees, you can expect daily fresh coconut water to sip poolside.
Leaving the property by foot, you can easily stroll (or jog for those looking for a good run), around the peninsula to visit historic sites like the lighthouse, the British barracks & Meadows Battery and other war time relics scattered about. Of course the golden sands of Vigie Beach is a 5 minute walk, with its collection of seaside restaurants, bars and rentable beach chairs. Local Castries restaurants are just 5 mins away by car, including the beautiful Coal Pot Restaurant located waterside or The Pink Plantation House perched above Castries on the picturesque Mourne. Other restaurants and bars are throughout the capital, including at Pointe Seraphine, the duty free, cruise ship, outdoor shopping district. A private gated driveway and parking are also part of Lumière’s offerings.
But don’t be surprised if the peaceful magic of Lumière keeps you from going anywhere.
On site, our gardener Grayson (aka Shortman) can help with heavy luggage or pick coconuts and fruit for you. Our concierge hosts are always on call to help answer any questions or arrange transportation.
