A Waterfront Luxury Tented Experience, with a Saltwater Infinity Pool and Beach.

Immerse yourself in a luxury tented experience, enjoying a lush acre of direct waterfront access. At Lumière, lounge in your private, saltwater, infinity pool breathing in the Caribbean Sea or snorkel from the private beach. Lumière captures natural living in a well appointed safari tent, with coral stone garden shower and full amenities. The property is one of a kind in St. Lucia, offering a waterfront, luxury ‘glamping’ experience like no other. Enjoy true peace and adventure here.

THE TENT:
The 320 sq. ft. luxury safari tent was hand crafted by Exclusive Tents out of South Africa, who have been in business for over 30 years, serving customers like Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin collection. The octagon shaped Bachuma tent sits on 1000 sq ft of deck space and has 6 floor-to-ceiling netted windows, allowing for cooling cross breezes, and 2 secure doors. The front door opens directly onto the private 22’ saltwater infinity pool with unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and the back door allows private access to an oversized garden shower. A garden foot path and attached bamboo gate offers easy access from the pool deck to the coral stone outdoor shower. The tent’s 14’ ceiling and 6’ netted windows allow for natural air living, with the option to air condition if you’d prefer. Interior furnishings include a locally made 4 poster king bed fitted with luxury white bedding and oversized pillows. There are 2 plantation lounge chairs, a small table and a low profile woven bench.

The interior bathroom includes a river rock vanity sink, a wardrobe with drawers, towel rack and toilet.

The outdoor kitchen and mahogany bar include a gas barbecue, mini-fridge with freezer, utility sink, a collection of appliances that include an air fryer, blender, toaster, coffee maker, cooler for ice 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.

The tech elements are 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 ceiling!

THE PROPERTY:
The property has a quaint white sand beach area with loungers and a hammock under mature almond and coconut trees. It has direct easy stair access to the water and natural beach, consisting of sand, pebbles and rocks…and is a fun place to collect shells and sea glass. 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 request fresh coconut water to sip poolside when the gardener is on site.

Leaving the property by foot, you can easily stroll (or jog for those looking for a good run), around the peninsula 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 or The Pink Plantation House perched above Castries on the picturesque Mourne. Other restaurants and bars are throughout the capital, including at Pointe Seraphine, the duty free, cruise ship, 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’s if 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.

Being a boutique and locally owned property comes with its connections and we are happy to help out where we can!

*Nov 2025 UPDATE: *We are excited to announce that we are adding another luxury tent to our acre of waterfront property. We will also be adding more waterfront decks, walkways and hopefully a swim-up dock to make your stay even more comfortable and fun! This new tent location still supports our priority of offering a private and relaxed environment.
*Work commences Oct through Nov and is not directly connected to this tent or its designated gardens areas and does not impede activity on any advertised views etc. We are so excited to share this good news! Both tents will be completely private from each other through the use of their locations, gardens and privacy elements.

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

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!!

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.

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!

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

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.
