It is such a hidden gem 🥰 Uta is the sweetest and caring host I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Staying here was fantastic! There is always a breeze, there is a fan in the room so it’s comfortable to sleep without AC, it’s peaceful and quaint, the property has so many neat buildings and it’s full of history! You can even take a short walk to a few black sand beaches. The food was fresh and local – which is fantastic! This is truly an eco-friendly paradise where you can connect with nature and feel like you’re staying with friends and family.

Thirty years ago, we spent our honeymoon on St. Lucia. This year to celebrate our anniversary we took a Windstar cruise. The port we visited on Valentine’s Day was Soufriere on St. Lucia. What a great opportunity to go back and spend the day at Balenbouche! Uta is an incredible host and made sure we had a wonderful visit. The estate looked great! We brought pictures from 30 years ago and one thing that really stood out was how much the trees and flowering plants have grown. The visit brought back many fine memories and was a special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day (…) Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend there.

This is such an amazing and relaxing place to stay on St. Lucia. The cottages are charming, safe and private. I have stayed there twice now; once as a solo female traveler and once as a couple. Both stays I felt comfortable, slept like a baby, and enjoyed the meals. I had breakfast and dinner. The meals were lovely. As are the informal chats with the owners and fellow travellers over meals. Walking around the grounds is a must. And saying hello to the different pets & animals who also call Balenbouche home is a treat!
Highly recommend!!
