Cap Maison

With the feel of an Andalusian village, the boutique hotel Cap Maison was built on a former sugar cane plantation on the northern tip of Saint Lucia, overlooking the beautiful Smugglers Cove. Perched on the clifftop at the water's edge, Cap Maison is surrounded by tropical gardens and features an isolated sandy beach down below, from where you can admire superb sunsets. The property, with its Spanish colonial touches, comprises 49 rooms and suites spread across two-storey houses that can be privatised to offer the comfort of a villa. Some of the suites feature an outdoor Jacuzzi or a private pool overlooking the sea or the lush vegetation, guaranteeing a most intimate stay. Inside, the decor is elegant, dressed in natural tones, wooden furniture, hand-painted tiles in the bathrooms, and paintings by local artists. Your days will be punctuated by water sports, relaxing on the beach, exploring the island, or massages and Sothys treatments at Spa Maison. Cap Maison is also a gourmet haven with two restaurants. The Cliff promises a memorable culinary experience, combining refined French-Caribbean cuisine with magnificent views of the sea and Pigeon Island. House cocktails can be sipped by the pool at the Cliff Bar, and a vaulted brick wine cellar is hidden beneath the main building. For lunch with your toes in the sand, head to The Naked Fisherman, located on the cove. But the absolute highlight remains the "Rock Maison" experience: a private candlelit dinner on a wooden deck at the end of a discreet jetty, promising a romantic escape right by the ocean.
