About this property

La Batterie Villa • Beautiful Boutique Island Villa with Breathtaking Views

La Batterie Villa is a COVID-19 certified property and an approved accommodation from the government of Saint Lucia. Please check with us for current protocols for the villa and for the island before booking your stay.

Tucked away in the exclusive Anse Chastanet / Jade Mountain area of Soufriere, La Batterie villa offers complete privacy. You will find your escape at this luxury villa surrounded by lush gardens, a tropical swimming pool with accompanying cabana, lily pond and spacious decks. Located 300 feet above the Caribbean Sea facing the infamous Pitons there is no shortage of breathtaking views, cool island breezes and awe.

Moving inside, the villa is constructed of native stone along with teak and mahogany woods. Built in traditional Caribbean construction, the house has louvered plantation style doors that open to take full advantage of its abundant natural and tropical landscape.

The house has three bedrooms each with king sized beds and en suite washroom to allow guests maximum privacy and can comfortably sleep a group of six. Each bedroom has its own lounging patio along with wardrobe closets. The master bedroom overlooks the Caribbean Sea while the two other bedrooms overlook the villa gardens. These two rooms can be made with single beds if requested in advance.

Additionally, the villa has a loft over the living room that can be used to sleep two however we would recommend that they be in their teenage years to allow maximum comfort. In addition to the three bedrooms, the house provides areas for group gathering and entertainment such as the elegant terra cotta living and dining rooms which face the sea. The living room opens up to a 40 foot open teak deck that highlights the beauty of the Pitons where guests can enjoy the breeze while watching the boats pass by. The dining room offers a table that seats a party of six and is a great spot for enjoying amazing Caribbean dinners that can be requested through the house cook, Stephanie, for a nominal fee. For a change of scenery, breakfast can be enjoyed down by the cabana where a table setting allows you to ease into your day while listening to the waterfall hit the pool.

The villa is fully staffed with (2) housekeepers, gardener, pool man and night time security, all of these services are also included in the rental price As for the cooking, should you choose to stay close to the villa on some nights (or all) we do have a cook that is available at the villa. Stephanie is our cook and makes amazing meals. She works with guests to set a menu based on their preferences and can make traditional St Lucian meals or American / European meals with a creole twist. Her meals are one of the things we miss most when we're not on the island. Stephanie's meal preparation fee is $12 USD for breakfast and $20 USD for lunch or dinner, plus the cost of any ingredients which again can be arranged for the staff to purchase on their way up to the villa each day. It should be noted that the meal prep fee is based per meal and not per person.

The Premises are equipped with exterior security cameras. Cameras are installed for the purposes of additional security during times the property is not occupied by guests. All cameras are located on the outside of the villa and directed at entry access points to the property (wall, front gate, side gate, pathway). No cameras are located in common areas (decks, pool) or inside the villa itself or have any view inside the villa or common areas. Cameras are not monitored during guest occupancy and recordings are only viewed for staff timekeeping verification, weather events, or reported incidents.


Words could never properly prepare you for the beauty that is Saint Lucia – come experience La Batterie and elevate your vacation to the next level!

Views For Days

Everywhere you look from the Villa there are amazing views from the Pitons, to the reef right below, to the beautiful garden meticulously maintained by Terry! We really enjoyed our time! The staff was fabulous and took great care of us and we always felt safe traveling with Clavie and at night with BK! Stephanie kept us well fed with delicious food and Bibi kept the place spotless. Epic trip and we will definitely be back!

One of the best villas in the Caribbean

La Batterie was so beyond our expectations, I don’t know where to start! My interactions with you were timely, responsive, and incredibly helpful toward making our 4 days on the island perfect. The view, house, and general ambience were exceptional, as was every staff member. We can’t imagine there would be a better place to stay anywhere on St. Lucia or the Caribbean. The four of us have done a lot of traveling all over the world, and La Batterie is right up there in our list of favorites.

Remarkable Experience!

Our entire trip was amazing! The property is beautiful and the entire staff treated us like family. We had such an incredible experience in St Lucia and cannot wait to go back! Stephanie's cooking was incredible, we only went out to eat one time while we were there and the food did not even come close to what we had back at the villa. We 100% recommend the hike with Terry if you can fit it into your schedule, it was such a beautiful start to our day and Terry was wonderful company. Everything about our trip was perfect and we would love to be able to return to La Batterie soon!

An absolutely delightful villa.

La Batterie was the ideal place to spend quality time with our family. The views are beyond belief - every day, regardless of the weather. The staff looked after everything we needed and prepared lovely meals for the nights we stayed at the villa. The villa is extremely large with beautiful grounds and a refreshing swimming pool. All the bedrooms have comfy beds and the living areas had plenty of seating. Truly an ideal and private spot. There are some terrific restaurants a short drive away for those who want to venture out, and many local sites to see, as well as nice hikes and snorkeling just down the road.

A very comfortable setting with a spectacular view

La Batterie is a beautiful place with a spacious interior and a deck that affords a million dollar view. The accommodations are only exceeded by the welcoming staff that made us feel at home. Indeed, they went out of there way at times to show off their island to us. Their hospitality went beyond a pay cheque and our stay with them was a joy. Our vacation to St. Lucia will be a highlight that will live in my memory forever and I can attribute it to La Batterie and the friendly and generous people we encountered there. I highly recommend this place and the people.

Amazing views are worth it!!!

We were a group of 6 celebrating a 50th birthday milestone. Property was big enough for us to each find our own corners to relax, and morning and night we were repeatedly consumed by the views—esp from master bedroom. The staff was attentive and easy to work with. There were US and G plugs in bathrooms, ample closet spaces and despite the open concept felt that each room still had privacy. Order coffee from the gardener! Def recommend.

Wonderful villa in best location

This is one of the most beautiful villas we have seen. Spacious and tastefully decorated with lots of room for our kids to run around. The view from the terace is just as breathtaking as described. Staff is helpful and friendly. Mike was more than helpful in organising cooking and provisions for us. The ride to the beach is 3 minutes - it's one of the most stunning beaches of the island. We could have probably walked there (drove because of the kids). A memorable stay and we can only recommend La Batterie!!

Breathtaking and LOVED the staff!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how perfect this trip/experience was and how much we loved this villa. From the view, the staff and convenience of being near the beach, having a pool. I could go on and on, this was the best vacation that we have taken. We had a fantastic time and would not hesitate to come back. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I would like to personally thank Clavie for driving us around everywhere and making recommendations for dinner and day time excursions. I don't want to leave out Terry, BK and the ladies because they were awesome too.

Wonderful vacation

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in St. Lucia and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. La Batterie has incredible views, and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed having coffee on the deck every morning taking in the scenery, flowers, and birds. Stephanie cooked several delicious meals for us, and Bibi kept the house immaculate. We ventured next door for dinner and down the road to Anse Chastenet to go to the beach and snorkel. The pool was refreshing every afternoon, and the owners were very responsive and helpful. On our final evening, we went on a whale-watching cruise with Mystic Man Tours and saw a pod of orcas. It was the perfect end to a memorable trip.

Fantastic Week

Had a lovely time with a group of 9 at La Batterie over Christmas. The house and grounds were very well-maintained and clean. The viws was as beautiful as promised, and we had a lovely sunset over the sea seemingly every night. Great location, close to the beach down the street (very steep) with a lovely secluded pool as well. Everyone on the staff was very attentive and very friendly for the entire week. Clavie seemed to have all sorts of connections and set us up with various tours and trips thoughout the week, which was extremely helpful. We would recommend this villa to anyone looking to take a trip to St. Lucia. A+.

Vacation in Paradise - Lifetime of Memories

Thanks again for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful St. Lucian villa. We had such an amazing week on the island. We miss enjoying our fresh brewed coffee each morning on the deck overlooking the Pitons. What a wonderful way to start each day! Without a doubt, the view from the deck is the best anywhere on the island. The villa itself is unique, spacious and breathtaking. All the staff is very friendly and went out of their way to make our vacation experience very special. Stephanie was fabulous and provided the best food we had anywhere on the island. Thanks again for some great memories! We would highly recommend this villa to anyone considering an escape to St. Lucia!

Return Trip-Living in a Postcard!

We stayed in this home for our 25th anniversary & again for our 51st! So many great memories from the past & wonderful new ones from this visit. The location & surroundings are awesome! The staff was friendly & knowledgeable-we looked forward to seeing them each day. They made our stay very pleasant & seamless. Food was great & fresh-thank you Stephanie! Beds were comfortable & well made each day- thank you Bibi! It was wonderful to wake up to the Pitons each morning & to sit on the deck at night to see the stars highlighting the shadows of the Pitons. We swam in the well maintained pool twice each day. Afternoons we could be found on the deck or in the hammock for a nap. So much to see & do in the area-Clavie’s taxi service was available & treated us well. We won’t forget our Fantastic return visit!

La Batterie was everything we expected.

The spellbinding pictures representing this property proved to be perfectly accurate. The accommodating staff was never intrusive, but always present when needed. Mornings and evenings on the deck watching passing ships, dusk welcoming back the big night sky crowded with stars, and the ever present outlines of the Pitons are imbedded in our memories. Our five nights passed far too quickly and we needed five more. One of the very best destinations for a peaceful, trouble-free, no-frills escape to another place in time. Kind Regards to the Keane family and staff. Thank you for your welcoming ways.

Dream Come True

This was truly a dream come true vacation for our family. My husband and I had been to St Lucia many years ago and wanted to return to share its beauty with our family. This spectacular villa provided the perfect opportunity. The views of the Pitons are stunning, and the home and grounds are just beautiful. We also really appreciated the staff at La Batterie. They were warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful, never obtrusive, always professional. Our family enjoyed Stephanie and Bibi's delicious meals, Terry’s coffee and rain forest hike, diving, snorkeling, birding and other fun tours Clavie took us to on the island. Mike and Jennifer also did an excellent job providing information and answering all our questions in advance of the trip. We are truly grateful for the wonderful time we shared here and we all hope to return one day!

Amazing Girls Trip!!!!

“Mike, Thank you so much for a great time! The girls and I absolutely loved our stay at the villa. It was so beautiful. “The pictures do it absolutely no justice. The villa was BEAUTIFUL and the views are breathtaking. We loved it so much that we ended up canceling a lot of the plans we had so that we could just enjoy the space. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. You didn't lie about Stephanie's amazing cooking! We really enjoyed not having to stress too much about food. Everyone was super accommodating and helpful. From BK, to Marylin, to Clavie, everyone was so nice and really did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our time. We will definitely be coming back! ”

Perfect and relaxing holiday!

“We have had the most wonderful few days here with our family. We were given a wonderful welcome, what a beautiful place and spot. The view.....we could never tire of!!. Staying at La Batterie for a few nights has been a truly perfect way to end our holiday here in St Lucia. No pictures or photos can do justice to the spectacular view that greets you as soon as you set foot through the gateway leading to the house. A beautiful house, beautifully furnished with a very friendly team at hand to offer their help, producing local dishes on request. We returned home super relaxed and with the most delicious locally roasted coffee beans!! We hope to return one day.....We would and will recommend La Batterie to friends and family and hope to return one day. Thank you so much for sharing your home. Best wishes Richard, Clare, Molly, Nancy, Sam, Will & Jack.

This house & property is huge all on 1 level - it will make you feel like you live a lifestyle of rich & famous for sure! (No one wants to see more of our photos cause it makes them too jealous :) Thank you so much for sharing this beyond amazing home with us & the welcome basket & sparking wine was such a wonderful surprise.

Special Place and Very Special People

The location of La Batterie Villa is the initial Wow Factor. After settling into the villa, the experience rises past that initial response to one of deep appreciation for the staff who support your daily needs while there and their culture and history. They are the jewels of St Lucia. The history of the Villa and its location are steeped literally upon the edge of the Soufrierre volcanic cauldron enriching ones understanding of the geologic formation that is the Carribbean and its part in the continually evolving story of planet Earth. The owners of this property are to be applauded for their generosity to others in sharing this property with the world and in supporting the employment of the persons of Soufrierre whose life stories are entwined with it. Much appreciation to them!!!!

La Batterie . . . Perfect!

La Batterie was the perfect holiday accommodation for our whole family--6 adults, a toddler, and 2 babies. While the website shows its beauty, set high amidst lush flowers, bushes, and trees, overlooking Les Pitons, we all were surprised at the villa's lovely spaciousness. The staff kept the villa, grounds, and pools clean and well-maintained; the cook made delicious St. Lucian dinners when requested; the driver was available to take us all on the excursions we wanted; and the night watchman, contributed to our feeling peaceful and secure. In particular, we enjoyed the staff's graciousness in making personal connections with us all, including the little ones. We found the villa well-situated for interesting activities: scuba diving, zip lining, touring the botanical gardens and the "drive-in volcano," swimming at the nearby resort beach; and grocery shopping in Soufriere. Overall, the villa was the perfect spot for us to safely enjoy our family time with little ones. We recommend it highly.

Amazing Vacation!

We recently returned from our stay at La Batterie Villa and it was simply amazing. The villa is located in the PERFECT spot on the island and waking up to that view each morning was a treat. The property was clean and well maintained and the staff went out of they way to make sure our say was awesome. We enjoyed several meals prepared at the house and often found the local dishes better than dining out. You must request 'bakes' they are yummy and make a great snack. The villa is close enough to Anse Chastanet to enjoy their amenities. We walked down there several times for beach and snorkel access and for the Kai Belte Spa. If you get the chance, take a water taxi from Anse Chastanet to Soufriere, it's a great experience. The garden around the villa is stunning and the salt water pool is not to be missed. Make sure to save time to simply enjoy the villa, take in the view and nature. I also strongly recommend a visit to Diamond Head Botanical Gardens. I am so happy we chose to stay at La Batterie, it will be a vacation we will never forget and we hope to return one day!

Stunning views and wonderful service

My wife and I stayed here in July of 2023. It's a wonderful property. The views are even more amazing than the pictures show. With all of the staff available, it's like staying at a 5 star resort dedicated to just you. Stephanie cooking amazing meals and scheduling massages. Clavie driving you where ever you need to go. Bibi cleaning every day. Terry roasting coffee and BK watching over the property at night. All wonderful and very accommodating. We did walk down the hill to Anse Chastanet to enjoy the beach. We ran into Simon from Simon Says tours and did ziplining, the volcano mud baths and snorkeling through him, which was a great experience as well. Could we have done it all ourselves, yes. But Simon and Simon Jr were great tour guides. We would love to visit this property during the winter time and enjoy a cooler climate. Summertime can be a bit warmish, but there are plenty of fans to help keep you cool. I doubt you can find a nicer rental experience on St Lucia. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
