Overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea and with stunning views of neighbouring St Vincent, Soley Kouche brings bistro-style Mediterranean dining to St Lucia’s picturesque south west coast. Opened on October 25, Soley Kouche, which means sunset in Creole, has been nearly three years in the making and features a state-of-the-art open kitchen and seating for 120 guests all within walking distance of the island’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gros Piton. A chocolate lab is also planned for phase two of the development utilising locally grown cocoa.

Its consistently warm-to-mild temperatures and lack of a harsh winter mean there’s never really a bad time to visit St Lucia.

St Lucia is a volcanic island and one of the more mountainous in the Caribbean. At only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, the island is small enough to get from one end to the other in less than two hours. 

A day-long road trip around the beautiful island of St Lucia gives you an incredible insight into its natural beauty, numerous opportunities to stop for delicious food and the chance to experience the island as locals do.

St Lucia is the ultimate island getaway for adventurers, lovers, or anyone who just wants to spend their days relaxing on multiple tranquil beaches.

It takes about an hour and a half to travel from one end of tropical St Lucia to the other – maybe one hour with light traffic.
