Description
Colibri Cottage was built shortly after the Second World War by an American colonel who had fallen in love with St Lucia. Located just a little south of Soufriere town, off the road that leads to Sugar Beach, the cottage looks straight across Malgretoute beach and bay to the Petit Piton. The Caribbean sea views are as splendid as any Caribbean view gets… and then some. After all, Colibri Cottage sits right in the heart of St Lucia’s UNESCO World Heritage site!
Colibri is the Creole word for ‘hummingbird’ and with its extensive landscaped gardens, Colibri Cottage lives up to its lovely, vibrant name. The original cottage has a simply lay-out, with a deep shaded balcony facing the ocean and Petit Piton, a comfortable living room, large kitchen, and two bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. This is tropical living at its best: lazing about in a hammock, having afternoon tea in the garden gazebo, sundowners on the balcony while the sun drops below the horizon and the last fishing canoes rush home, and al fresco dining while the tropical night comes to life. It’s all yours.
To accommodate additional guests, in 2008 the owners added a two-story building that blends in very nicely with the existing architecture and atmosphere. The guest quarters contain two self-contained apartments, with two bedrooms apiece, and ensuite bathrooms. Each apartment has a large, comfortable kitchen/living room and both floors of this building, too, have deep, long, shaded balconies overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Petit Piton.
In total, Coulibri Cottage boasts 7,477 sq ft of living space on 2.7 acres of land, a 60-foot infinity pool for swimming laps or just floating about, and a gazebo. Malgretoute Beach is just 100 ft away, below the cliffs, and accessible by steps hewn into the rocks.
Within easy reach are all of Soufriere’s best restaurants, boutique resorts and natural attractions, including the volcano, botanical garden and several natural waterfalls.
