Beach & Swimming
The nearest beach is about eight minutes away at Causeway Beach, which has two stretches of white sand fronting one side of Rodney Bay. Causeway Beach runs in front of Sandals Grande St Lucia to Pigeon Island National Park. The northern area of the beach is popular with St Lucians on weekends and bank holidays and there is a picnic area. On the other side of Rodney Bay, Reduit Beach is the island’s most popular. It is a lovely, mile-long stretch of powder soft sand and it is fairly active, with several hotels and a good variety of watersports, including waterskiing, parasailing, jetski, sunfish and hobie cat sailing. It takes about ten minutes to reach by car and a ferry runs every hour between the island and Rodney Bay.
Heaven has a good size free-form swimming pool set within a tiled sun terrace with a pleasant covered deck on the villa side and views towards Martinique – visible on a clear day. It has a sitting ledge and entry steps to the shallow end. |

Locality
Heaven is located within the Cap Estate area of St Lucia, and is within a short drive of the Pigeon Island National Park, a forty four acre National Trust reserve. The island features ruins of many 18th century British and French military buildings including Fort Rodney. There is an Interpretation Centre, a restaurant featuring local cuisine, a historical themed pub, a beach bar and lookout point at the top of the fort. The island is also the main venue of the annual St Lucia Jazz Festival, held each May, which attracts a host of international stars.
Rodney Bay, about ten minutes drive or a ferry ride from Pigeon Point, is St Lucia’s busiest tourist area, with several hotels, some of the best restaurants in St Lucia and many bars (it is the liveliest nightlife on the island), a shopping mall, banks, mini marts and a nearby supermarket (on the main road, called Super J). It has a busy marina and attracts over 200 boats for the annual ARC (trans-Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) which usually sees its first arrivals in early December. The nearby village of Gros Islet, to which you can walk, hosts the now famous Friday Night Jump Up, an all night street party. Castries the capital and George F L Charles Airport (formerly known as Vigie) which receives inter-island flights only, are within about 20 minutes drive. |

Useful Hints
Ask your travel organiser or the management company (if booking direct) for initial food and drink supplies to be laid in for your arrival (a starter food pack costs approximately US$40 per person), so that the cook/housekeeper can prepare a simple welcome meal for you. Thereafter, your housekeeper will be happy to assist you with your shopping should you wish to delegate this chore, however do expect to provide transport and an appropriate gratuity for this service. Rental rates for villas in St Lucia do not include ‘tips’, about which you will find advice in the guest information book at the villa.
Personal laundry is not included in the rental rates and charges are approximately as follows: machine wash small load EC$10, hand wash small load EC$25 and ironing small load EC$25. |

Airport Meet & Greet
If you are booking direct, ask the villa management company Tropical Villas to send a taxi to meet you at the airport. These are arranged with their taxi driver Desir (pronounced Daisy), who normally waits in the area just outside the customs hall at Hewanorra airport. He will hold a Tropical Villas sign. If you miss him go to the Tourist Board desk and they will page him for you. Your airport transfers are paid for locally and take approximately 1hr 30 minutes from Hewanorra and 20 minutes from George Charles (the airport just outside Castries). Alternatively, if you would prefer to be taken care of from the minute you arrive at the airport, with a range of services that can include helicopter transfers and a Concierge Service, please see St Lucia Representative Services.
If you are booking through a travel organiser, it is likely that their representative will be at the airport to meet you. This service and your return airport transfers should be included in the cost of your holiday. Please check at the time of booking. |

Getting Around
A hired car is strongly recommended for all St Lucia villas, unless you would prefer staff to call taxis for you as required. A vehicle will be useful if you want to dine out at night or do lots of sightseeing and particularly when it comes to shopping for groceries. Book car hire via your travel organiser or direct with Drive-A-Matic (Tropical Villas will book this for you) or Cool Breeze Car & Jeep Rentals and ask for your vehicle to be delivered to the property approximately 3 hours after your scheduled time of arrival on St Lucia or the following morning. Vehicles can be returned at the airport or be collected from the property at a pre-arranged time on your departure day. Do note that due to the rough access road, a 4 wheel drive jeep is recommended for Villa Heaven. |
