Villa Xanadu with stunning views of Rodney Bay, Pigeon Island and Martinique
“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree…..” Samuel Coleridge 1797 The unique and magnificent design of Villa Xanadu St Lucia was inspired by the famous domed City of pleasure called Xanadu created by the Mongol ruler Kubla Khan in China during the 12th century. Standing proudly on a sea facing hillside for many years it is still as fresh and interesting today and has recently undergone an extensive renovation whilst preserving the character of this tasteful and fascinating study in concrete and stonework engineering. The domes of the villa dominate the hillside on St Lucia’s northern tip in the exclusive residential area of the old sugar plantation of Cap Estate.
In good visibility the nearby larger Island of Martinique is clearly seen to the north and this makes an impressive backdrop to the Caribbean sea view both during the day and at night.
The high south west facing terraces of Villa Xanadu St Lucia provide beautiful views of nearby Pigeon Island and St Lucia’s Caribbean coastline and and is the perfect place to enjoy a sundowner while watching the setting sun. These Caribbean sunsets are famous for their beauty and you may even witness the elusive green flash when the sky is clear. The Villa is surrounded by nearly two acres of gardens that slope gently away from the house and are home to coconut palms and tropical plants.
Nearby is St Lucia’s Golf Resort and Country Club. This is a challenging and enjoyable 18 hole par 71 golf course.
There are nearby beautiful white sand beaches catering for all manner of water sports including safe swimming and snorkeling, scuba diving, hobby cat sailing, water skiing, para gliding and wind surfing.
Sports fishing and deep sea fishing enthusiasts will soon find what they want.
When the present owners bought Villa Xanadu St Lucia for them it was love at first sight. They were captivated by the elevated position and the 270 degree views of the ocean and coastline. The gentle sea breezes temper the tropical heat and make relaxing by the poolside a real pleasure. The pool extends into the domed living area and has its own bar stools in the water to enjoy that rum punch or local fruit juice.

Incredible vacation at an incredible villa! Stayed 6 nights and the views are to die for! The host was extremely responsive and friendly with helpful instructions. I will never forget the sunsets every evening and the memories that were made! We didn’t ever want to leave our place!
Xanadu is a stunning villa, well equipped, clean and everything is of a h standard. Kris is an exceptional host, very knowledgeable of the villa and surrounding area. We have a very enjoyable stay and hope to return one day. The views are remarkable and will never be forgotten.
What stood out for us was the host, the amenities, the property design and space, the location, and the view. This is a special place and Kris (the host) is exceptional in her professionalism and service. Great stay and will look to returning.
Xanadu is a beautiful villa with stunning coastal views. All rooms are beautifully presented. Beaches and restaurants are a short drive as are other amenities. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Property was lovely, however I think the owner needs to put some money into upgrading to get it to class 1 status

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for your review.
Glad you had a good time with your family and hopefully you enjoyed the amazing view from this villa and maybe got to see some whales as well while you were there.
As I said to you, the villa was just sold recently and the new owners are already working on plans for upgrades this summer.
Thank you again for staying with us! Wishing you and yours all the very best!
My husband, our two college kids, and I thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay at this beautiful home! The layout is very unique. Each bedroom has it's own entrance, all surrounding the pool which opens right into the main living area. Every area faces the water and overlooks Pigeon Island. Perfect for watching the sunset. You can see cruise ships, sailboats, and Martinique daily. FYI 2 of the bedrooms and the main living area have all been completely remodeled. The master bedroom is next!The host, Kris, was the most attentive and friendly host we have ever encountered in a VRBO rental. She made sure every little detail was attended to, she takes excellent care of the property, and is just a willing resource for all things St. Lucia. Viola came to clean the house a few days during our stay. The area is peaceful and quiet, with the exception of neighbor's barking dogs. Would definitely recommend this property for a carefree vacation and great location.

About the host
Hosted by Kris Wagner
The owners, Laurel and Tom, reside in Toronto, Canada when they are unable to be in St. Lucia. He’s Canadian, she originally from California. They first visited St. Lucia in the 1980’s, and have been back more than twenty times since. In fact, whenever they vacationed in other Caribbean islands, they invariably said “We should have gone back to St. Lucia. It is so beautiful, and the people so lovely!” St. Lucia has become their second home, and their Happy Place!
Why they chose this property
When Tom and Laurel decided to buy a home in paradise, and searched the market, Xanadu just blew them away. It’s unique domed design and spectacular panoramic views of the ocean, the coastline, and the neighbouring island of Martinique sold them on how truly special it was. It was an OMG moment. Tom says it was “Love at first sight, just like the first time I met Laurel!”
What makes this property unique
Close to beautiful beaches, the Rodney Bay Yacht Club and the Golf Club, guests can be as active, or as lazy, as they like. The domed living/dining room, and spectacular indoor/outdoor pool is worthy of Coleridge’s famous poem: “In Xanadu, did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree”.
For it is a true pleasure to take in the sunshine with the breezes on the large pool deck, to enjoy meals by the pool or indoors, to savour the abundant coconut palms and tropical plants.
Laurel and Tom invite discerning guests to relax for a spell in Paradise, to enjoy the warm St. Lucian welcome, and to share their beautiful island home!
