Balenbouche Estate is one of the gems of the Caribbean. It is set on an estate in the south of St Lucia, around a lovely, secluded plantation house. There are just eight relatively simple but comfortable rooms including two self-catering cottages (which also work particularly well taken together as a whole), and a wonderfully hospitable welcome. Balenbouche, one of the few genuine St Lucia bed and breakfast acommodations, is very affordable and is a delightful place to stay. There is plenty to explore, but with its tropical tranquillity, it is also ideal for slow-time contemplation, of the beautiful surroundings and of course of the estate’s mysterious name. Balenbouche is also a good place to visit by day, to enjoy the nature and the undeveloped side of St Lucia.
