Villa Albatross Nest with Stunning Panoramic Sea View

Albatross Nest epitomizes Caribbean style living with truly breath taking 180-degree views from the property's open and elevated terraces. Enjoy magical sunset drinks with views of the island of Martinique in one direction and Pigeon Island National Park and Rodney Bay in the other.

Albatross Nest is our dream home - perfect views, distinctive open plan architecture, traditional Caribbean shingled buildings and beautiful tropical garden. Enjoy classic barefoot charm and listen to the sounds of nature and the sea below.

The property is secluded and provides perfect privacy - it is only ever rented to a single party/group. Its layout means that it is equally suited to 2 guests as much as it is for larger groups of up to 8 guests.

The villa was designed by architect, Robertson Ward, who designed the original Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados. Three buildings are linked by covered walkways around the large, private, central pool. The design is perfect for a tropical, outdoor lifestyle and the pool is spanned by an attractive bridge which creates a romantic environment.

Albatross Nest is located in the North West corner of the Cap Estate which is generally regarded as the premier residential area of St. Lucia.

The property is a very short drive to Pigeon Island beach, Anse Du Cap beach and Cas en Bas beach. The 18 hole golf course at the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club, snorkeling, scuba diving, kitesurfing, horse riding on the beach, tennis club and an award winning spa, as well as many of the island's best restaurants are all within a ten minute drive.

Maid service is provided 5 days a week. The gardener is at the property 2 days a week. The property has a security system. The pool is unfenced and deep so the property is not suitable for guests under the age of ten.

The property is managed by Kris Wagner who will welcome you to the property and advise on any aspects of your vacation. Kris and her team are on call 7 days a week to ensure that you have a wonderful holiday in St. Lucia.

A pre-stocking service is available so that when you arrive at the villa you do not immediately have to go shopping - you can immediately relax, unwind and enjoy the view.

Idyllic destination
Myself and 3 female friends stayed at this Villa for 7 days. We wish we could have stayed a month. It is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed, competes with Positano. The 180 deg view will take your breath away any time of day or any weather. Kris was an excellent host, very responsive. Ivy was a delight and pleasure to see through the week. We had Eike cook us 2 meals and they were our best meals, he needs a Michelin star. We went down the hill to Body Holiday for a day (walking is taking your life in your hands), had 2 wonderful massause come in that were fabulous, very professional. We ate at Naked Fisherman and The Cliff, highly recommend both, and went to Rodney Bay for lunch and a little shopping. I highly recommend this idyllic place.

Great place with an excellent view
I would definitely advise reaching the villa during daylight hours. While the host’s directions were spot on, it is VERY dark and still hard to find. Once you arrive, you won’t be disappointed! The place has amazing views with exceptional outdoor living. Kris and Ivey took good care of us. If you rent Albatross Nest, you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect outdoor living with perfect views
General gathering area is open on three sides with views that will take your breath away. Not just open ocean, but beautiful coast line and ocean during the day, direct sunset views, and views of the lights at night. Manager, housekeeper and gardener all super nice. Pre-stocking service was great. Had a chef in one night, and massages in villa. If you want to feel like you are immersed in a tropical vacation, this is maybe the best VRBO for that I have ever stayed in. Well priced for the luxury level, and we just kept shaking our heads about how open and beautiful the views are from the main gathering area. A stay you will remember for a lifetime.

60th birthday celebration
We had a lovely stay for 10 nights, the first 5 with friends joining and the last 5 on our own. Perfect location and set up for many with privacy or just us two. The view was the best. Always changing and beautiful. Cooked a lot of dinners at the house as the sunsets are great. Grocery stores are great and local fish easy to buy. Ivy (house cleaner) was sweet and with so much helpful island info. Kris (house manager) was super attentive and responded to minor toilet issue right off the bat. One of the best houses we’ve rented in last 10 years!

Perfect Girl’s Trip
We had a lovely stay at this property. Kris was super accommodating and had us set up for success when we arrived. We had a rental delivered to the property (we only drove it to the store twice, not sure it was necessary since we utilized the driver most of the week). We also had a first round of groceries available upon arrival. Highly recommend scheduling a chef while you are there as the food was amazing and we were all exhausted from the long day of travel and the long haul from the airport to the villa. However, it was worth it for the views.

Adventurous drive from UVF but worth the view and amenities
My extended family (8 adults total) and I had a wonderful time at Albatross Nest…it was an adventure getting there from UVF, a bit difficult to find the place once dark sets in, but once you are there the comfortable accommodations and one of the best views on the island make it all worth it !!! The bay, the blue water, the ships, the land formations, the lush vegetation, rainbows, and view of Martinique right from the personal pool or veranda make this place an amazing experience. The outdoor spaces are the epitome of R&R especially during our morning coffee. Our host was able to help us set up a massage for our group right at the VRBO which only added to our relaxation. We would not hesitate to stay here again if our travels bring us back to St. Lucia. Thank you Kris for a wonderful stay and for your hospitality !!!

Magnificent Vista
The Albatross Nest is an aptly named property on a ridgeline overlooking the ocean. The views are stunning from the very nice pool and other adjacent outside living areas. There were several different large furniture groupings that allowed multiple conversational areas, both out in the sun or under a roof. Our host Kris was quite helpful and responsive. We had quite a bit of fun in Gros Islet and the surrounding towns. This has the first time we stayed in an open concept Caribbean home. We were one with nature and it was lovely for most. One couple thought the nighttime jungle sounds imposed on their sleep; I embraced the serenade. One thought to keep in mind is that the roads in St Lucia can be very steep, slippery and rough. Remember to get a proper vehicle or use the nice driver that works for the Villa.

October Family Trip
The property was absolutely stunning, and Ivy, managers and the gardener were great! A heads-up for future guests: the driveway is a bit steep. We managed it with a van, but renting a jeep or truck or arranging a driver might be a better option. Download WhatsApp for easy communication. Bring DEET bug spray—the living room is open-concept, so it’s best to apply it while you’re there. Lastly, there’s a ferry from the south airport to the north that we wish we had known about—it could be a smoother alternative to driving the roads. Don’t miss the Pitons! We highly recommend a boat tour with Marlan Boat Tours to explore the mud baths, waterfalls, and the Pitons.

Albatross was as beautiful in person as it was in pictures! The views were entrancing. The property was well kept and clean. Our just Kris was informative and answered all our questions! She booked trips and taxis for us which was so helpful. Ivy the housekeeper was a dear and so sweet. Really a pleasure to be around. The pool kept us cool on hot days, and it's beautiful at night.

A group of 7 of us stayed at Albatross Nest for carnival 2024. We had an absolutely wonderful time and the pictures do not do the view justice. We had a car rental car but driving at night is tough if you do not know the roads. A few taxis had a hard time finding us but was not an issue once they dropped us once. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Beautiful property, full outdoor living except bedrooms. Sunsets are amazing, beautiful pool, house keeping and grounds staff, our driver Donald, all absolutely amazing. Went on two 1.2 day boat trips out of Rodney Bay, Dinner out at Naked Fisherman and Cliffs, amazing. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware and utensils, two refrigerators and a bar fridge, check in - a LOT of information given about safety, keys, alarm, what is to be locked up, etc. Its a lot of information all at one time. This is a remote home and not walkable to restaurants and shops. A driver or car is needed.

Magical!
We had an amazing week at Villa Albatross. Everything about the house, Kris and Ivy were A+. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the living area with the incredible views in all directions was spectacular. Kris was so attentive and responsive. We had some minor issues with a couple of appliances but nothing that interferred with our week. We hired Eike (chef) to come cook for us a couple of nights and he was wonderful. Would recommend this especially on the first night as it's a long travel day to get there. Ivy made our week the most special. She came daily and tidied up and was so gracious and kind. We fell in love with her. We ate at several restaurants that we close by to the villa (Naked Fisherman, Jaques Waterfront Dining, Cafe Ole - lunch, Spinnakers - lunch & Sakarugi). We would love to go back and highly recommend this villa. Thank you Kris!

Gorgeous water views in three directions, with plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. Every bedroom is air conditioned and all the beds were very comfortable. Ivy, the housekeeper was very thorough and always looked for ways to keep us relaxed and pampered. Our property manager Kris was always available and responsive.

Tropical Paradise - Outstanding!
Villa Albatross Nest in St. Lucia is a true gem. The breathtaking views from the property are unparalleled, offering a panoramic spectacle that leaves you in awe. The house is perfectly appointed, providing a luxurious and comfortable stay, while the meticulously maintained grounds enhance the overall experience. Its location near Rodney Bay adds to the appeal, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings and indulge in a host of activities. Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, Villa Albatross Nest offers a splendid retreat with a touch of Caribbean paradise. Kris, our host, made everything VERY easy. She was on top of every last detail from the time we arrived up through our departure. She made several excursion recommendations (which we acted on) and now have wonderful life long memories. We will be back for sure.

Best view ever, lovely people!
We’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some beautiful islands in the Caribbean and Ionic Sea. The people here in St. Lucia are so friendly; the island, green and gorgeous; and the views at Albatross Nest, particularly magnificent. The villa is beautifully and comfortably laid out, with a fully equipped kitchen where we often cooked dinner together to enjoy the sunset. Plus Ivy and Thomas bring their own sunshine when they come to tidy up and groom the landscaping. And Kris is an attentive, efficient and good-humored host. We did rainforest tour (it was great!), Tet Paul Nature Trail (vistas are stunning) and my husband and I climbed Gros Piton (we’re in our mid-60’s). We slid a lot in the rain/mud on the way down -yikes! Took 6 hours in all, but we did it! Two bits of advice: one, book this villa if it is available. Two, let Kris arrange transportation to Villa for you on arrival, get you some basic groceries, and connect you with car rental agency to have cars delivered after you arrive. The roads/driving here are crazy, and you will likely lose WiFi in hilltops when trying to navigate (villa is at opposite end of island from airport). If you drive, you will get lost and frustrated and arrive (after dark?) short-tempered and stressed. NOT the thing to save money on. In any case, the experience at Albatross Nest was a 10 out of 10!

Classic Caribbean Villa, perfect for families
Albatross Nest was all we hoped for plus a load more - the photos really do it justice and, I promise you, the views across to Rodney Bay are that good 😁 Arriving at the villa in our hire car directly from the airport after darkness and up the very steep drive, is certainly not to be recommended but other than that we really couldn't fault it - fabulous layout of four rooms around a pool and then a huge living area totally open to the surrounds. Our family group with young all in their 20's just loved the space to relax in, whether in the pool, on the loungers or remote working from the dining table. Kris, the property manager, was in easy contact and soon got us organised...Ivy, the maid who comes in five mornings a week, was delightful and was a mine of information. We honestly left the property with heavy hearts and know where to stay next time we're in the Caribbean 🏝️

Fantastic villa!
We had a wonderful stay at Albatross Nest! Kris was really helpful and knowledgeable, and it was lovely to have Ivy come by each weekday to freshen up the villa. The views were unbeatable and it was such a peaceful location. Took taxis (Donald was brilliant) into town when needed and walked down to The Naked Fisherman one evening. The setting was perfect, the staff were friendly and the food and drinks were amazing. Couldn’t recommend this villa enough!
