Tamarind House - Soufriere - St Lucia

The rare luxury of space and privacy. Room to relax, to breathe, to rejuvenate and dream. Happy memories of drinks and laughter under the tamarind tree. Long white curtains billowing in the breeze. Swimming in the pool under a full moon. Bouganvillea climbing the walls - fuchia, violet and orange flowers set against a clear blue sea and sky. Rum cocktails and fish cakes at sunset.

Tamarind House is located just off the Anse Chastanet Road; approximately 1.5 miles from Soufriere and 5 minutes from Anse Chastanet beach. Covering 8850 ft² of space, this exceptionally large house is constructed of local stone with high greenheart ceilings and Barbados tile floors throughout. The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the separate Cottage is a master bedroom suite with its own living room, kitchen ( with coffee press, kettle, toaster and stove) , dressing area, marble bathroom, king size four poster bed and terrace.

Tamarind House has been featured in Maco magazine and the book Caribbean Elegance by Michael Connors because of the large collection of antique West Indian furniture it contains.

A staircase descending from the car park, leads you into a cool, circular courtyard filled with banana plants and flowers. As you pass through the graceful arched doorway, the enormous 2550 ft² living room stretches away before you and leads to the terrace where the tamarind tree grows up out of the tiles. This fabulous tree provides shade and coolness to the house all through the day.

The living room features two, seven foot settees and a very large travertine stone coffee table. The dining table seats 6-8 and the wild breadfruit trestle table can be used for large parties.

The 35 x 15, totally private pool is situated below the Cottage and has 1060 ft² of terrace and shade pavilion around it. The pool edge is open on one side to give uninterrupted views of the Pitons.

The house also has a professional size tennis court with a Bioflex surface and of course superb views of the Pitons as you play.

The fourth bedroom is small and suited only for kids or a single. It is included in the 3 bedroom rate
