About this property

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.

June 2025 Stay

Stayed here on our honeymoon and it was everything the pictures show and more! Truly, this view is breathtaking and we couldn’t get over it. The pool is wonderful and the open seating area in the mornings and evenings is remarkably relaxing. Kris is wonderfully helpful and the staff also are just crazy nice and friendly as they keep the place immaculate! If you’re staying in the north of the island, I couldn’t recommend this place more.

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!

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.

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.

Fabulous Relaxing Villa

Thank you to Kris, Ivy and Diane of Albatross Villa! My husband, son and I had a wonderful holiday. Between the beautiful views, terrific pool and wonderfully accessible location, it met and exceed all of our expectations. The outdoor lifestyle was perfect for St. Lucia and we relished the entire experience. We hope to visit again!

The stunning views from Albatross Nest never got old. I loved that every where you look was a breathtaking sight. The house was perfect for our group of 3 couples. It was great that each couple had their own space and the common areas were large enough to not feel cramped.

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 !!!

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.

St. Lucia Getaway Vacation

The view from this property is amazing from the moment you walk thru the front door. The pool is really nice also. Property is located in a quiet part of the island and close to the Rodney Bay Marina, where there are some pretty good restaurants, and close to where the Friday night street party takes place. All just a short drive away. We enjoyed the open air living room too, very unique. We had Odessa cook us a great meal and it was well worth it! Would stay here again!

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!

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.

We look forward to being able to spend much more time in our beautiful home in St. Lucia when we retire but in the meantime we are making it available for holiday rentals when we are not there .

Why they chose this property

We have visited St. Lucia for many years and love the island. We fell in love with the stunning view, the lovely garden and the architecture of this property. We enjoy the variety of restaurants and beaches easily accessible from the property.

What makes this property unique

The property has one of the best sea views we have seen on the island. The sunset views are amazing. The property provides a restful, private location but good restaurants and a variety of activities are available within a ten minute drive.
