Stay in the real St Lucia.

Driftwood Cottage and Driftwood Treehouse are two distinctive stays in the traditional fishing village of Laborie, on St Lucia’s quieter south-west coast.

Each property has its own private plunge pool and sits just steps from the beach — a relaxed base for discovering the island’s landscapes, culture and slower rhythms of life.

Life in Laborie

Laborie is one of St Lucia’s most loved fishing villages — a place where life moves at a gentler rhythm. Evenings gather slowly on the beach as neighbours talk, children play and the sun drops over the sea.

You won’t find large resorts or gated developments here. Instead there are small bakeries, local restaurants and music drifting through the village — reggae, steel pans and voices carrying across the evening air.

Stay here and you experience a different side of St Lucia — one shaped by community, coastline and the easy, unhurried pace of Caribbean life.
