Tree Tops

About Tree Tops, St. Lucia

The living area and bedrooms are separate - each having an individual cathedral ceiling and sliding walls for capturing the tropical breezes. Each is surrounded by a four foot wide connecting deck, enabling guests to pass freely from one room to another, while preserving privacy. A true open tree house experience. No air conditioning is needed.

Located on a hillside surrounded by red bougainvillea, pink hibiscus and yellow oleander, with spectacular sea views, sunsets and mountain views, including St. Lucia's highest, Mt. Gimie,

The House: There is a spacious great room with a living room section, games table and dining area, and a built in desk with bookshelves. The large, bright kitchen is well equipped.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a ceiling fan and net with a shower room. Bedroom II has two single beds with a ceiling fan and nets and shower room. Guests step from the deck into a cool, pool with lap lanes at one end. The pool is situated by a spreading flamboyant tree and has an extensive sun deck with poolfurniture for relaxing.

A touch of St. Lucian history greets you as you step out of the kitchen. A series of aging concrete pillars wrapped in brightly coloured bougainvillea today, once supported the Naval barracks during World War II.

Tree Tops is one of the oldest homes at Cap Estate, situated on a choice piece of property, designed by Ross Kembar, a noted Canadian architect who came to St. Lucia in the late 1960s to "try and upgrade the architecture of the island". He succeeded in creating a unique livingexperience with Tree Tops.
