Wild Orchid - Saline Point Cap Estate - St Lucia

It is situated at one of the northern most points of St. Lucia, and provides spectacular panoramic views of the northwest Coast, the historic National Park of Pigeon Island, the beautiful French island of Martinique and the majestic Mount Gimie. At Wild Orchid you can hear the ocean and see everything from cruise ships to the local fishing boats sailing the coastal waters. Night time views at this villa are a magnificent experience; the south coast becomes aglow and Martinique shimmers in the Atlantic Sea.

The House

This unique Villa was built to capture St. Lucia's famous trade winds; the house is very open and utilizes numerous architectural elements of traditional Caribbean villas.

Air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and traditional netting are in each of the three oversized, open bedrooms. The first floor has two bedrooms, both of which have pool views. The end bedroom has two twin beds and a daybed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. Each bedroom includes an en suite bathroom with a shower. The master bedroom encompasses the entire second floor. The master suite is beautifully furnished and features a king-size bed. It also has a unique shower room overlooking the mountains. There are two patios; the larger one has a wonderful view of St. Lucia's southern coast and beaches; the smaller balcony provides a beautiful view of the ocean and island of Martinique.

A covered veranda runs the entire length of the house, and includes a welcoming seating area and an outdoor dining area. The extra large swimming pool is encircled by a tiled deck, and is well equipped with loungers and umbrellas inviting you to enjoy lazy days in the sun. Inside, you will find a spacious "great room" with vaulted ceilings (the beams were obtained from St. Lucia Forestry), a big screen TV, cable television and DVD. Adjacent to this is a formal dining room. A large, modern, fully equipped kitchen complete with an outside covered barbeque patio invites you to enjoy a variety of dining experiences. Wild Orchid is fully landscaped, and contains mature gardens with a wide variety of tropical plants and flowers. As a result of this, it has become a haven for many species of butterflies and wild birds; they will delight you with their colors, songs, bathing activities and energy.

A fully equipped 2 bedroom apartment with a separate side entrance, available only when renting the main house. Each bedroom has a king bed (2 twin on a platform frame). One has a view of the Caribbean Sea and pool and the 2nd has a stunning garden view. They both share a bathroom featuring double sinks. The bedrooms and living area are air conditioned. The kitchen and living area overlook a trellis covered terrace opening up to the beautiful gardens, perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee or favourite afternoon beverage.

The gardener/groundskeeper (Mr. Clovis/Dragon) is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and would be most happy to familiarize you with the tropical plants and birds.
