St Lucia is home to some of the most pristine beaches and most awe-inspiring landscapes in the Caribbean, including the famous Pitons World Heritage Sites. St Lucia villas reflect this dreamy atmosphere with their own mix of luxury amenities, lush landscaping, and inspiring views.
Tourism in St Lucia began in the late 19th century, but it really took off in the mid-20th century. By the end of the 20th century, St Lucia villas began emerging as the premier way to enjoy this beautiful island in style and privacy.
Today, St Lucia villas are some of the island’s most luxurious accommodations, with their own distinct architectural personalities and décor.
Renting a St Lucia luxury villa is easy with Rental Escapes. First, find your travel dates and party size. From there, your Rental Escapes villa specialist will present you with the best available St Lucia villas. After, your concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, boat charters, excursions, and more.
St Lucia villas can be found in the most beautiful parts of this stunning island. This includes Marigot Bay, Cap Estate, Soufriere, and Sea Breeze Hills.
While they often feature high-end amenities and rich materials, the focal points of St Lucia villas are their views.
