St. Lucia
a magical island nation in the Eastern Caribbean
Equal parts beauty and mystique, Saint Lucia captivates anyone who sets foot on her coastline. The only sovereign nation to be named for a woman, the island personifies adventure and inspiration. Always evocative, she welcomes you with her soothing waves, warm beaches, and hospitable locals.
The west coast of Saint Lucia is home to Soufrière, the original French capital, and your home this week. Soufrière is tucked just under the Petit Piton, acting as a great place to venture by foot or jumping off point to explore the rest of the island. Enjoy a walk around Soufrière’s Old Town or go hiking around the rainforest and stand under some of the most impressive waterfalls in the Caribbean. The region is also home to the top snorkeling beaches on the island.

Perched on a sea cliff with unobstructed views of the magnificent UNESCO protected Pitons and walkable beaches, Le Gallerie will be your home for the week. The villa is staffed by a team of five including a house manager, house keepers, evening security, and private chef.
