The Marquis Estate, St Lucia

Intended to be the finest resort in the Caribbean, bringing together some of the best brands and names from around the world to deliver a truly exceptional resort. The Marquis Estate is situated amongst some of the Caribbean’s most attractive landscape on the stunning northeast coast of St Lucia and occupies a breathtaking 500 acre site in a wide lush, tropical valley that sweeps majestically down to one of the most beautiful beaches in St Lucia, the Marquis Bay, where with pristine white sands meet clear, turquoise waters that are perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Originally the site of an 18th century sugar mill and more recently a banana plantation, the estate is resplendent with native fruit trees and colourful flowers, attracting tiny iridescent humming birds. An estate of this individuality requires considerable care to leave this piece of land better than it is. The developer plans to do this by ensuring the indigenous population’s involvement and the protection of the wildlife and existing ecosystems to create a new legacy.
