THE TENTS
The 320 sq. ft. luxury safari tents are hand crafted by Exclusive Tents out of South Africa, who have been in business for over 30 years. The octagon shaped Bachuma tents sit on 1500sq ft of deck space each and have 6 floor-to-ceiling netted windows, 14’ high ceilings and 2 secure entries, allowing for cooling cross breezes.

Poolside Tent #1
Sits middle property with a private 22’ saltwater infinity pool and unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and snorkelling reefs below.

Interior furnishings include a locally made four poster king bed fitted with luxury white bedding, bedside tables with reading lamps, plantation chairs, small table, book shelf and a locally crafted woven bench.
The ensuite interior bathroom includes a river rock sink atop a mahogany vanity, a wardrobe with drawers and a safe, a towel rack, storage cabinet, toilet and access to an oversized, coral stone, garden shower. A foot path and bamboo gate offer private access from the pool deck to the outdoor shower. The tent’s oversized ceiling fan and netted windows allow for natural air living and the feeling of being immersed in nature.
*option to use the air conditioning by easily installing the clear window coverings.

The fully equipped outdoor kitchen and mahogany bar include a gas barbecue, mini-fridge, ice maker, utility sink and a collection of appliances that include an air fryer, blender, toaster, coffee maker and your general kitchen supplies. The bbq has a cast iron griddle and a fish basket for the catch of the day!

An outside dining table with canvas backed chairs, umbrellas and sun loungers are all poolside.

A large grassy area adjacent to the deck is another lovely spot to gaze at the ocean shaded by a towering almond tree, with a path leading to the Water’s Edge Tent #2.

The tech elements are remote LED pool lights, a Bluetooth speaker for your holiday soundtrack and a mini-projector with a 100” fabric screen to stream your favourite content, either outside or directly onto the tent canvas!

Water’s Edge Tent #2
Identical in shape, size and interior/exterior furnishings and amenities as Tent #1, but unique in its cantilevered cushioned lounge, garden shower with a view and ultimately its exciting water’s edge location. Separated from Tent #1 by over fifty feet of tropical gardens and perched on the lower corner of the property, this luxury safari tent delivers a private and dramatic seaside experience.
It has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and mahogany bar with chair swings and all the kitchen amenities of Tent #1, with unobstructed views from every vantage point. French doors open onto views of the cove, the open horizon and the turquoise waters below. A wrap around platform gives easy access to the cushioned lounge, garden shower or boardwalk that leads towards your family and friends swimming in the salt water infinity pool, the sunset deck or Lumière’s own boutique white sand space and natural beach below.

THE PROPERTY:
The property has a quaint, white sand man made beach area with loungers and a hammock under mature almond and coconut trees. Easy access down our beach stairs into the Caribbean Sea for a snorkel or a swim to our floating sea hammock. If collecting shells and sea glass is of interest, our natural beach is there for treasure hunting!
There’s a 24’ deck hovering just above the warm sea with plantation chairs to take in the sunset and a rain shower for a quick cool off or rinse from your snorkeling adventure out front.
The protected cove is host to a collection of snorkelling reefs (snorkelling gear supplied), abundant with tropical fish, coral and the occasional turtle and octopus!
The top of the property is where our orchard is located, with fruiting trees such as mango, avocado, orange, grapefruit, lemon, cocoa, soursop, lime and passion fruit. You will also discover cherry, breadfruit, guava, pineapples, watermelons and many other fruit and vegetable species throughout the property. With an abundance of coconut trees, you can always request fresh coconut water to sip poolside when the gardener is on site.

Leaving the property through the gated driveway, you can easily stroll around the circular peninsula road to visit historic sites like the Vigie Lighthouse, the British Barracks & Meadows Battery and other war time relics scattered about. Of course the golden sands of Vigie Beach is an easy 10 minute saunter, with its collection of seaside restaurants, bars and rentable beach chairs. Local Castries restaurants are just 5 mins away by car, including the beautiful Coal Pot Restaurant located waterside, plus The Pink Plantation House or Bel Jour are both perched high above Castries and have good food/entertainment options. Other restaurants and bars are throughout the capital, including at the duty free Pointe Seraphine cruise ship port and outdoor shopping district.
But don’t be surprised if the peaceful magic of Lumière keeps you from going anywhere.

Our concierge is always on call to help answer any questions or arrange services and experiences. We can arrange private boat trips to the Pitons and volcano, sometimes directly from Lumière if the water conditions allow. We work with a car service company so please ask about airport transfers or land tours. For health and wellness we offer in-house professional massages.
Secure gated parking for 3 vehicles.🚗
Being a boutique and locally owned property comes with its connections and we are happy to help out where we can!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A glamping experience in a tropical paradise.The garden, full of fruit trees and flowering shrubs is beautiful.The tent and outdoor kitchen provide everything you need.A short walk to some restaurants on the beach and a little further to the Massy, but quite doable.

Total Paradise!!

Lumiere is total paradise!! Such an incredible private oasis with a stunning view of the ocean and the sunset. We stayed here for 5 nights and loved every minute of it!! Chad has thought of everything, down to the tiniest detail! We were so close to Vigie beach and Castries, but really didn’t want to leave our private paradise. Thank you Chad for creating a beautiful oasis!! We will never forget our time at Lumiere

Luxury glamping at its best

We absolutely loved the property. It’s the best place to unwind and it was my favorite place on the north side of the island. It’s exactly as pictured. I appreciated all the little touches from mint tea to toothpaste and more. The kitchen area was well equipped. The tent, deck, pool and garden were all designed with an attention to detail. We loved watching the cruise ships pass by. It was quite a show.

My stay was absolutely fabulous. Expect for.. hindsight I thought it was irregular that the property was unlocked a couple of times after our day out in town. I’d placed most of valuables in safe except for a Jade beaded anklet I’ve been wearing for 30 yrs..has vanished from night stand. Not holding owner responsible.. ugly things happen. Just letting you know. I had an awesome stay

Fantastic!

We were a bit hesitant as it was a new listing but we were so impressed with everything. The "tent" was certainly much more than that; it didn't even seem like a tent! The king bed was very comfortable with excellent linens.The outdoor shower was like a spa experience. The outdoor kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook meals. Thought we might need the AC but the ocean breezes changed our minds. The property is so large that you feel secluded but are not far from town. We enjoyed seeing the cruise ships come and go from the port every day. We did rent a car but the small airport is very close with many taxis available for hire. Dayna was a great help in getting us familiar with the property. It was so very relaxing and calming, wish we had stayed for longer than the 4 nights! One of our top VRBO experiences!

Zen, Relax, Privacy, Everything we expected and some more!!!

Our stay at this property was nothing short of perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a peaceful and private atmosphere that instantly made us feel at ease. The property was exactly as described—if not better!One of our favorite moments was soaking in the tranquility by the pool, completely immersed in the serene surroundings. We were initially a little skittish about being near the entry to the cruise ship port, but it turned out to be a non-issue. In fact, it became an unexpected source of entertainment, watching the ships come and go without it ever feeling intrusive.Originally, we had planned a couple of trips to local attractions and beaches, but once we settled in, we realized we didn’t want to leave! The property had everything we truly needed for a perfect, relaxing escape. From the beautifully designed interiors to the peaceful outdoor spaces, every moment here felt like a retreat in itself.The hosts clearly put a lot of care into making sure guests have a comfortable and seamless experience. Communication was easy, and every little detail was well thought out.Simply put, this was a slice of "zenny" heaven. The only problem? Our stay was too short! We can’t wait to return.

Perfection!

We are so happy we booked Lumiere. What an amazing spot and we want to go back.For our trip, we rented a car from UVF. The drive is a bit hairy but we managed. The host offers to figure out drives if that’s what you prefer. Took us a bit over 2 hours. There is a grocery store right at the last roundabout before you head toward Vigie. It’s only about a 3 min drive away. The property itself is secluded, secure and close enough to amenities and restaurants that you don’t feel so far away. The proximity to the smaller airport and the large cruise port was initially concerning, but like previous reviewers commented, it actually became a source of entertainment. We loved watching all of the catamarans, boats, small planes going by. Don’t be discouraged by this! You’ll love it and still feel like you’re in your own private spot. Property is tastefully decorated, loads of space and the view is unmatched. We spent most of our time enjoying coffee down on the lower deck or relaxing in the pool.There isn’t a sandy beach on this property but there is water access. The water is so warm and my husband loved to snorkel. Vigie beach is so close if you want some white sand. All of the towels, kitchen amenities, pool floaties, snorkelling gear are there. The only thing I would have liked was an extra blanket. Bed and pillows are otherwise very comfortable. View from your morning wake is spectacular.Communication with owner Chad and host Dayna was easy and friendly. Book this place!!

About the host

Hosted by Chad

Host profile image
Being from Vancouver Island we enjoy an outdoor lifestyle surrounded by rainforest and an abundance of flora and the occasional bear…so St. Lucia offers the same outdoor lifestyle just a little warmer and without the bears! My family history on St. Lucia dates back over a hundred years so my knowledge of the island and relationships are vast allowing our guests to access a true local experience away from the generic all inclusive hotels. It’ll be my pleasure to share this beautiful rare property with you!

Why they chose this property

We love to travel and St. Lucia has been one of our favourites for decades, so we are finally able to share our love of the island with the creation of Lumière, a luxury tented experience. We designed the property as both a romantic location to breathe and reconnect and also as a base camp to explore the island from. We are excited for you to discover Lumière’s magical acre of true waterfront access and lush fruiting gardens!

What makes this property unique

St. Lucia is a volcanic island and thus it’s elevated rock topography is a big part of it’s beauty, so Lumière having direct water access with a low bank and private beach is extremely rare to find in the rental market. So not only is Lumière the only tented experience on island but also one where you can snorkel directly out front of your luxury tent!
