Ti Kaye, Anse Cochon, St. Lucia - Explore & Book
"Between Soufriere and Castries, down a long, bumpy track, and tucked above secluded, breath-taking Anse Cochon beach, lies Ti Kaye. Meaning 'little house' in Creole, it's a collection of cute, scrubbed up, Caribbean gingerbread-style cottages spread over a wooded hillside - all catching glimpses of the shimmering turquoise sea. The resort offers excursions to all of the island’s highlights, but most guests come here to get away from it all, and so did we. A morning paddleboard session, followed by a snorkel in the beautiful bay with countless fish, kept us busy until lunchtime. Afternoons were spent napping in the oversized hammock on our porch, drowsily watching the vibrant garden we shared with several hummingbirds, before heading to the cliff-edge spa for a divine hot stone massage.This is a remote place to unplug and unwind - and if the lullaby of waves crashing down on the cliffs, accompanied by wind chimes and balmy breezes, isn’t enough to make you sleep oh-so-soundly, then the potent sunset rum cocktails certainly will. Highs This is an adults-only resort - wonderfully peaceful with friendly staffAll cottages are secluded and have sea views; some have private pools, tooBeautiful sandy beach with great diving and snorkellingSuperb spa and Jacuzzi with incredible viewsRainbows for breakfast and spectacular cocktail-hour sunsets – every day of our stay! Lows The massive potholes on the path from the main coastal road to the resort make for a rather bumpy (and somewhat adventurous) ride, but with a 4x4 it’s no problem The beach is gorgeous, but comes with a steep, 166-step schlepSomewhat isolated, it’s a 30-minute drive to the nearest restaurantThere have been some reports of loud music at the beach restaurantThe activities and excursions can be pricey, so perhaps hire a car if independence is a priority" - Michael Cullen
