About this property

Villa Albatross Nest with Stunning Panoramic Sea View

Albatross Nest epitomizes Caribbean style living with truly breath taking 180-degree views from the property's open and elevated terraces. Enjoy magical sunset drinks with views of the island of Martinique in one direction and Pigeon Island National Park and Rodney Bay in the other.

Albatross Nest is our dream home - perfect views, distinctive open plan architecture, traditional Caribbean shingled buildings and beautiful tropical garden. Enjoy classic barefoot charm and listen to the sounds of nature and the sea below.

The property is secluded and provides perfect privacy - it is only ever rented to a single party/group. Its layout means that it is equally suited to 2 guests as much as it is for larger groups of up to 8 guests.

The villa was designed by architect, Robertson Ward, who designed the original Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados. Three buildings are linked by covered walkways around the large, private, central pool. The design is perfect for a tropical, outdoor lifestyle and the pool is spanned by an attractive bridge which creates a romantic environment.

Albatross Nest is located in the North West corner of the Cap Estate which is generally regarded as the premier residential area of St. Lucia.

The property is a very short drive to Pigeon Island beach, Anse Du Cap beach and Cas en Bas beach. The 18 hole golf course at the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club, snorkeling, scuba diving, kitesurfing, horse riding on the beach, tennis club and an award winning spa, as well as many of the island's best restaurants are all within a ten minute drive.

Maid service is provided 5 days a week. The gardener is at the property 2 days a week. The property has a security system. The pool is unfenced and deep so the property is not suitable for guests under the age of ten.

The property is managed by Kris Wagner who will welcome you to the property and advise on any aspects of your vacation. Kris and her team are on call 7 days a week to ensure that you have a wonderful holiday in St. Lucia.

A pre-stocking service is available so that when you arrive at the villa you do not immediately have to go shopping - you can immediately relax, unwind and enjoy the view.

Stayed here on our honeymoon and it was everything the pictures show and more! Truly, this view is breathtaking and we couldn’t get over it. The pool is wonderful and the open seating area in the mornings and evenings is remarkably relaxing. Kris is wonderfully helpful and the staff also are just crazy nice and friendly as they keep the place immaculate! If you’re staying in the north of the island, I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Fantastic villa!

We had a wonderful stay at Albatross Nest! Kris was really helpful and knowledgeable, and it was lovely to have Ivy come by each weekday to freshen up the villa. The views were unbeatable and it was such a peaceful location. Took taxis (Donald was brilliant) into town when needed and walked down to The Naked Fisherman one evening. The setting was perfect, the staff were friendly and the food and drinks were amazing. Couldn’t recommend this villa enough!

We loved our stay in St Lucia. The house has the best views of anywhere we have ever stayed. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful with lots of information. Donald the driver got us everywhere we needed to be all week and Ivy the housekeeper took such good care of us. Kris was wonderful with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. Odessa the chef made us our best meal we had on the island. The Albatross Nest is a MUST!

Remote working

Albatross Nest is a gem - a traditional built island heaven.in a private location which gets the top of island Atlantic Breeze. Our trial remote working in St Lucia for 18 days prior to our annual vacation here was a real success . It’s lateral layout where we could each have dedicated workspace, combined with great wifi really helped. All service was exemplary and unobtrusive. The experience doesn’t come any better for us - a real find .

Family Memories

Everything about this property was wonderful! We took advantage of every aspect of Albatros Nest. The view was gorgeous, whether it was sunny or overcast. You felt you were on the top of the world. So relaxing! The outside lifestyle really connected you with the natural surroundings. Ivy was wonderful and so sweet. Donald got us to the places we didn’t think we could drive ourselves to, first time driving on the left hand side of the road lol. He was great! We will definitely be back!

Best view on the whole island !!!

What an incredible experience with family. Diane and Kris were exceptional! Any one thing that we needed was only one call away. The rooms were clean and everything was exactly like the pictures. It really was the most memorable experience we have had on an island or any vacation. The open air was great! There is a great breeze all day and night and the rooms were comfortably air conditioned. Love love love all the way around. I would have chosen this villa 100x if I could. You will not be disappointed !

Tropical Paradise - Outstanding!

Villa Albatross Nest in St. Lucia is a true gem. The breathtaking views from the property are unparalleled, offering a panoramic spectacle that leaves you in awe. The house is perfectly appointed, providing a luxurious and comfortable stay, while the meticulously maintained grounds enhance the overall experience. Its location near Rodney Bay adds to the appeal, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings and indulge in a host of activities. Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, Villa Albatross Nest offers a splendid retreat with a touch of Caribbean paradise. Kris, our host, made everything VERY easy. She was on top of every last detail from the time we arrived up through our departure. She made several excursion recommendations (which we acted on) and now have wonderful life long memories. We will be back for sure.

Wonderful Getaway

The pictures of the property certainly are wonderful but the reality of the location and home is much better. We had a wonderful stay and vacation. Everyone of our wishes was granted. Ivy took tremendous care of us and keeping the home perfect throughout the stay. We had a meal prepared for us that was incredible and a big thank you to Odessa. We had organized a catamaran trip though Kris and the trip was very good. I will say that our expectation of the catamaran was a little different than what we got. Meaning it did not have a active sail which the trip was still fun but there was no sailing. Restaurants in the area a great Check our Coal pot and the naked fisherman. Kris Thank yo uwonderful trip

St. Lucia Cap Estate. Beautiful views and wonderful property

This is an amazing property with some of the best views you'll find. This villa is nicely laid out. Each room is unique and very comfortable. Everything worked and no issues at all. Breakfast table overlooks ocean and plenty of seating on the deck to enjoy the view. Plenty of birds and nature as well. Small telescope on the deck for looking at boats and pigeon island. Communication for all staff is great. Absolutely love Ivy and Thomas the housekeeper and landscaper. Make sure you get a rental car or plan for taxis. This is not a walkable property to beaches, stores, or really anything of necessity. Have Kris or Diane set it up for you and have the car at the house when you arrive.

Magical!

We had an amazing week at Villa Albatross. Everything about the house, Kris and Ivy were A+. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the living area with the incredible views in all directions was spectacular. Kris was so attentive and responsive. We had some minor issues with a couple of appliances but nothing that interferred with our week. We hired Eike (chef) to come cook for us a couple of nights and he was wonderful. Would recommend this especially on the first night as it's a long travel day to get there. Ivy made our week the most special. She came daily and tidied up and was so gracious and kind. We fell in love with her. We ate at several restaurants that we close by to the villa (Naked Fisherman, Jaques Waterfront Dining, Cafe Ole - lunch, Spinnakers - lunch & Sakarugi). We would love to go back and highly recommend this villa. Thank you Kris!

Best view ever, lovely people!

We’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some beautiful islands in the Caribbean and Ionic Sea. The people here in St. Lucia are so friendly; the island, green and gorgeous; and the views at Albatross Nest, particularly magnificent. The villa is beautifully and comfortably laid out, with a fully equipped kitchen where we often cooked dinner together to enjoy the sunset. Plus Ivy and Thomas bring their own sunshine when they come to tidy up and groom the landscaping. And Kris is an attentive, efficient and good-humored host. We did rainforest tour (it was great!), Tet Paul Nature Trail (vistas are stunning) and my husband and I climbed Gros Piton (we’re in our mid-60’s). We slid a lot in the rain/mud on the way down -yikes! Took 6 hours in all, but we did it! Two bits of advice: one, book this villa if it is available. Two, let Kris arrange transportation to Villa for you on arrival, get you some basic groceries, and connect you with car rental agency to have cars delivered after you arrive. The roads/driving here are crazy, and you will likely lose WiFi in hilltops when trying to navigate (villa is at opposite end of island from airport). If you drive, you will get lost and frustrated and arrive (after dark?) short-tempered and stressed. NOT the thing to save money on. In any case, the experience at Albatross Nest was a 10 out of 10!

Our own personal resort

To add some context, my wife and I have traveled for years to many beautiful places including several of the Caribbean islands, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, London, Paris, Canada and many other beautiful and fascinating places. We found this listing on VRBO and immediately thought it was perfect for our family. We contacted the host Kris with a few questions and she responded quickly. We booked and proceeded forward. This was our first experience with major travel since COVID so we were not that versed on everything required for travel to St. Lucia. Fortunately, Kris was amazing from the very start and provided all the guidance we needed to navigate this process. Thanks to her help, our arrival was a piece of cake. Kris arranged transport from the airport which is on the southern most side of the island to the villa on the northern most side of the island. The drive was quite an experience but our driver was great and we arrived safe and sound to Kris greeting us with a warm welcome. She escorted us through the front door of the villa and we were immediately overwhelmed with the most amazing view we had ever seen. It was at that moment that we fully understood the name "Albatross Nest". Sitting high above the ocean, the house is even more beautiful than the pictures. Kris spent some time touring us around the villa and providing some suggestions for things to do on the island. Kris offered many great suggestions that included fine dining, casual dining, shopping, horseback, island tour via boat and many other local treasures. This was one of the if not the best vacation we've had. St. Lucia is a beautiful and enchanting island. However, the people we met made this trip truly something special. I also should add that Kris is the best host we could've imagined. She took great care to arrange everything she could for us making things quite special for my family. In short, we fell in love with this villa and the people of St. Lucia. Special shout out to Ivy, Odessa and Donald.

Amazing house! Amazing location! Amazing views! This house was perfect for my husband and I and our three teenage children! Everyone had their own space and there was plenty of communal space. The sunsets were spectacular! Ivy was lovely and Kris was so helpful. St. Lucia may be the friendliest island we have visited. I would recommend Albatross Nest to everyone. Hopefully we’ll be back one day.

STUNNING VIEW!!!

We absolutely loved our stay. The view was heavenly. I can’t imagine there being a better view on the island. We spent several days in the pool and not leaving the villa a single time. Kris was wonderful, and very helpful with directions, recommendations and arranging excursions. The housekeeper, Ivy, was a delight to chat with each morning. She took good care of us! The villa is very unique and beautiful. We loved all of the flowers everywhere! It was stocked with everything we needed, including sunscreen and bug spray. We rented a car and my husband was able to get us around well, but I can see why they recommend getting a driver. The roads are pretty tricky to navigate, especially if you aren’t used to driving on the left side of the road. The only thing that was negative was the bugs. We got bit SO MUCH!! Even with the bug spray they were still biting us incessantly. We wound up hanging out and playing games each night in the master bedroom. Even with the bites, it was still an amazing trip and the view made it completely worth it!

Peaceful Paradise with Stunning Views

Villa Albatros Nest was a dream. If you’re looking for peace, privacy, and lush natural beauty, this is the place. The property feels like your own private sanctuary—surrounded by gorgeous trees, flowering plants, and birdsong, with the ocean stretching endlessly out in front of you. On a clear day, you can even see all the way to Martinique. I could have spent every moment in that infinity pool, just soaking in the view.The layout of the villa is wonderful. Each bedroom feels separate and private, with its own personality and charm. The common areas are thoughtfully designed with a variety of cozy seating options—ideal for reading, dining, lounging, or just watching the light change over the sea.One thing to note: while the villa feels perfectly secluded, you’ll need a car or driver if you plan to go anywhere, as there are dogs on neighboring properties that make walking off the grounds a challenge. That said, we didn’t mind one bit—this was a place we were happy to stay put.Everything about Albatros Nest invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and just be. We left feeling completely recharged and already dreaming of our next visit.

We look forward to being able to spend much more time in our beautiful home in St. Lucia when we retire but in the meantime we are making it available for holiday rentals when we are not there .

Why they chose this property

We have visited St. Lucia for many years and love the island. We fell in love with the stunning view, the lovely garden and the architecture of this property. We enjoy the variety of restaurants and beaches easily accessible from the property.

What makes this property unique

The property has one of the best sea views we have seen on the island. The sunset views are amazing. The property provides a restful, private location but good restaurants and a variety of activities are available within a ten minute drive.
