What’s hot and new for St. Lucia?

Here’s a recent sneak peek at the new underwater park that is being developed in St. Lucia.

It’s called Below St. Lucia and it is located north of Soufriere. It’s actually north of the fishing town of Canaries and south of Anse La Raye. Access will be by boat.

We’re guessing that this park over time will be a big attraction for divers and snorkelers. It was modeled around other underwater parks that have been developed for the Caribbean but this one really has some extensive sculptures.

The park will provide a great place for guests to learn about Lucian history and culture and yet at the same time have a good underwater experience encountering our marine life.

The park has been in development for quite some time and it’s good to see it finally come together.

The other new attraction is closer to home in Soufriere, at Anse Mamin. This top intimate beach (tgst many guests miss out on seeing) now has a very unique Puppy Cafe. It was developed by the Anse Chastanet resort family and the HelPaws animal rescue group. At this beachside hotspot you can dine on tasty treats and mingle with puppies and dogs. What you spend here also goes to help a great island cause. We don’t know of any place that is quite like this. Certainly it is paradise for dog lovers.

My service dog Ivy is now begging me to take her to St. Lucia so she can make some new friends (and do a little herding) at the Puppy Cafe!

Here’s today’s big event.

We went last year (held in October during Creole Month) and it was great fun and really interesting.

Love has certainly been in the air at the Treehouse Villas in Soufriere, St. Lucia.

St. Lucia offers such a great destination for a special, intimate wedding and we were happy to host a special celebration for our recent guests.

There’s nothing like being in nature and having the Pitons as a backdrop for a unique celebration.

We've certainly had a busy end of summer at teh Treehouse Villas in Soufriere.

As we turn the corner and head into October, the annual kick off for Creole Month in St. Lucia, different events start to pop up that are certainly worth checking out.

First up is Zouk En Blanc held in Soufriere at Project Chocolat. This year it’s being held a little earlier. If you are in the area or visiting St. Lucia during this time, make sure to try to get tickets.

This popular party event features lots of music, dancing, great food, etc. And like all good Lucian parties it runs really late.

We’ve been going since its start and it really is a classy event for the Soufriere area—way better than the Gros Islet street party. Guests come from all over, the music gets really rocking and, attendees really dress up—it’s quite a “people watching” event.

Every year this event gets bigger and bigger so we’re expecting that this year it will be a not to be missed event.

October of course is just right around the corner and one of the exciting things about this month is that it is Creole Heritage Month. Many tourists visiting the island are familiar with special event months such as the May Jazz and Arts Festival and the July Carnival but October is often missed as a special month. Each year when October rolls around, locals will plan out a number of unique activities. The big roll out for Creole Month typically takes place during the last weekend of the month but one can find some local activities going on in SL, all throughout the month, with some even taking place in September. Some examples might be special fetes in the country, Dasheene festival, special menus at restaurants featuring local dishes that aren’t always commonly available, road side stands popping up selling Creole designed clothing and other great, more local activities like cassava bread making in some areas.

We’ve always been in St. Lucia in October over the past decade (and more) and honestly it’s hard to find some kind of definitive or official schedule of activities. We simply just drive around and ask local friends to find the good stuff.
Last year during this period we introduced a special Creole menu so that our guests could try out some of favorites that one would normally get dining at a local Lucian home. Fabie’s standard menu is always 100% authentic but the Creole month offerings just take things up a whole new level. This year we are planning to offer the special Creole menu throughout the remainder of the year and we may even introduce some new treats.

Can’t wait for October to start!

Food is a big part of Creole month and dishes like pigtail bouillon coming from a seasoned local chef like Fabie can be a real treat. We also get inspired during the month as we travel around and find ingredients and treats that we don’t always find throughout the year like larbabad (sp), some types of coconut cakes, special natural bacon coming from the country, Creole meat stews with special meats from the country (our friend Terry from Find St. Jacques makes the most amazing coalpot cooked local beef pepper pot), etc. It’s always our favorite time of year to have a big pot of something local cooking up at the Treehouse for our friends that come by such as our spicy pork neck stew.

Can’t wait for October to start!

A previous guest staying with us who was a fabulous photographer took thhis great shot at sunset time from our Treehouse 2 deck. I then used a digital watercolor system to create this image and produce this printed canvas rendition. Kind of a fun experiment in using digital techniques to showcase our neighborhood.

St. Lucia offers such a plethora of hidden gems and unique spots to explore. Here we are featuring the area known as La Pointe, Choiseul which sits to the south of Soufriere. Many guests staying in the north or even those staying in the Soufriere area often miss out on getting to see much of Choiseul. It’s a great area to simply drive around, do some hikes, enjoy a snorkel, hangout with some locals, meet some local artists and crafts people, check out a farm, etc. What we especially like about this area are the unique views and the artistic vibe of the area.

The La Pointe area sits above the beach known as Anse l’Lvrogne. This beach is so special as it sits at the base of the Gros Piton and remains unspoiled by tourism. It’s a very authentic fishing beach (one of the few left on the island) and it extends from the south of the Gros Piton and to the north. There is also some reef down here making the area quite good for marine life. It’s kind of a hidden area that most snorkeling enthusiasts don’t know about because it is tucked away here in Choiseul.

If you have a good rental vehicle you can come down to the area and then take the bumpy road that travels down to the beach area. Or you can park above and hike down. The views are simply stunning in the area and on a clear day you can see St. Vincent to the southwest.

During Creole month in October this area can have some cool things going on. The activities are informal and we often take a drive around the area and check out some local activities such as making gluten free cassava breads outdoors. There is a bit of farming going on in the area and if you ask around there are some places you can tour on an informal basis. We’re always amazed to come down to the area and connect up with some of our farmer friends and then bring home a big collection of goodies-everything from tropical fruits to cashews, local plums and apples, herbs, and medicinal plants. This is always our “goto” area when we want to get into “the country” and getaway from all the busier area of the Soufriere Quarter.
