About this property

Romantic hideaway overlooking the Pitons - The Lodge at Cosmos St Lucia

Magical open air Lodge for couples and nature lovers, away from busy hotels. Plunge pool and sun deck with views over the Pitons and Caribbean Sea. Studio-style accommodation with kitchen, sitting area, queen sized bed and private outdoor bathroom. Homemade continental breakfast included. Panoramic views, sustainable luxury, concierge, friendly responsive staff, daily housekeeping, parking. Additional services: private dining, spa treatments, private driver. 10 mins to Soufriere, beaches, activities.

The Lodge is set in a private corner at Cosmos St Lucia - see separate listing for the Villa at Cosmos St Lucia. Positioned approximately 100' from The Villa, The Lodge is not overlooked, nor does it overlook the Villa. The Lodge can be rented independently for just two guests or it can be rented together with the Villa, allowing for a maximum of 16 guests in total on the property.

The extraordinary location and stunning modernist architecture set Cosmos apart. Designed for open air living, the indoor and outdoor blends seamlessly in this magical place where mountain, sea and sky meet. Enjoy hummingbirds feeding, lizards darting among rocks, the sunset song of tiny tree frogs and a canopy of stars that seems close enough to touch, untainted by light pollution. In the vicinity are rainforests, hot springs, botanical gardens, glistening seas, beaches and protected coral reefs. Unsurprisingly, The Lodge is frequently booked for honeymoons and special occasions.

Facing southwest to the Pitons, the sunset and the Caribbean Sea, The Lodge invites peaceful contemplation. Enjoy a queen size bed draped with mosquito netting that doubles as a sofa by day, two comfy armchairs, a walk-in closet, locally made wooden furnishings and a kitchen bar. The kitchen has a full sized fridge with freezer and is adequately equipped for self catering with a four burner hob, electric oven, toaster, blender, coffee maker and utensils. The water supply throughout the house is filtered. The outdoor bathroom is completely private, but fully open to the elements - and the gorgeous view. Below the plunge pool there is a sun deck with two loungers overlooking the mountains and the sea.

Daily housekeeping and homemade continental breakfast is included (the banana muffins are legendary). Picnics, lunch, and dinner are also available, with meals served in the privacy of The Lodge. Our menus focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce; guests describe meals as both delicious and healthy - see guests reviews, don’t miss out!

ECO LUXURY
The experience at Cosmos is only sustainable by being mindful of the environmental footprint on this beautiful island. The Lodge is cooled by two ceiling fans and the natural breeze thanks to its position high on a ridge, but is not air conditioned. As with all things in life, sustainable luxury is about striking a new balance. This is just one aspect of how we tread a lighter footprint at Cosmos - see the eco luxury blog post on our website for more.

CELEBRATIONS
Do you have something special you want to celebrate with a select group of loved ones? The Villa at Cosmos St Lucia regularly hosts intimate events marking life's milestones, such as small weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, for up to 25 guests. In addition to our full time housekeeping, grounds staff and transport providers, we collaborate with a variety of guest chefs, local musicians, floral designers and event planners to make your celebration truly spectacular.

Don’t miss the best fresh fish burgers at the Jungle Grill at Anse Mamin. The famous reef off Anse Chastanet is easily accessible from the shore, and has been buoyed off for snorkeling. There is a vast variety of corals and sea life including sea turtles, parrotfish, trumpet fish, needlefish, sergeant majors and many more. Join the locals at Hummingbird Beach Park in Soufrière, dotted with bars, gift shops and food shacks, just 10 mins away. There are Scuba operations at both these locations. Paradise Beach, at the foot of the Petit Piton 15 mins away, has excellent snorkeling and watersports, a cocktail bar and serves casual meals on their open-air terrace. Both the the vegetarian and fish rotis are recommended. Take a short water taxi from Soufriere town to Sugar Beach, a five star retreat with multiple restaurants, shops and a white sand beach with an excellent snorkeling area.

Unique, beautify property for the adventurous
My husband and I just returned from our 7 night stay at the Cosmos Lodge celebrating our 20th anniversary. It was absolutely amazing! The property is exactly as described - clean, phenomenal views, and excellent service by Anastasia prior to our trip - and Shermika, Priscilla and the rest of the staff we encountered. This type of property is quite outside our usual all inclusive resort type vacations - I’m so glad we did it. The lodge literally has 2 back walls - the rest is open to the side of the piton. The views are unbelievable. Shower, sleep, eat, & relax under the watchful eyes of small lizards, tiny frogs, & lots of curious birds. It is very private in the lodge. The morning continental breakfasts delivered to us were excellent and quite filling (we always held on to some of the options for snacking later in the day). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking - and we had a prepared meal one night that was wonderful. The road to get to cosmos was tricky to say the least. You definitely need a vehicle with higher ground clearance like a SUV and drive very, very slow. Honking is a courtesy and you must honk often to let people you are coming up/down the hill, or to say hi (this was weird to us as honking is considered rude where we’re from). We drove ourselves from the airport but it was dark by the time we got out of Vieux-Fort and I don’t recommend that - hire a driver if you’re going to be arriving late - at least for your first time arriving to the property.

Stunning minimal open concept studio
My partner and I loved everything about our stay here. The architecture and design of the building and how it's nestled into the hillside with beautiful views is very unique. Make sure to bring earplugs for sleeping at night. The frogs and crickets can be loud. You'll also have to be vigilant about birds coming for your food and drink. Speaking of food, the chef created some wonderful meals for us to eat while we were there. It was better food than many of the restaurants in town.

Just book it!
My husband and I stayed for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! We got in late due to our flight and the customs process with covid. Dinner was served right away and the sunset was spectacular. Still can't get over the views! There was another group who rented the main house, but it was nice hearing the chatter at night especially since it's a little remote. The lodge is within walking distance to other resorts/rentals, Anse Chastanet and Anse Mamin but is steep! After staying at another resort on the south side of Soufriere we decided that this place and Anse Chastanet/Mamin was our favorite part! You're very much on your own here w/o the resort vibe, but we felt safe. Shermaka was very helpful and there when we needed her. The food was great! And their driver Alex was very knowledgeable and on time. We wish we had stayed for more than 2 nights! Book this lodge!

All Around Wonderful
From the moment we walked through the door and saw the most amazing view we’ve ever seen until we checked out was an absolutely wonderful experience. The view was from something out of a magazine. It was the perfect place for a coupon to stay. Shermika was very attentive and great for Everything we needed. We could barely bring ourselves to leave. We highly recommend the Cosmos Lodge and we will be back! Thank you so much for the perfect place to stay for our first visit to Saint Lucia!

About the host

Hosted by Anastasia Alexander

Host profile image
American born, lived in France and then England since 1990. Now a U.K. citizen.

Anastasia first visited St Lucia in 1994. She returned many times - enchanted by the island - and purchased the land at Cosmos in 1996. She nurtured her dream to develop the property over the next 15 years, finally breaking ground in 2012. The Villa welcomed its first guests in 2016.

With a career in natural botanical products, Anastasia now focuses on running Cosmos, teaching yoga and designing gardens. She lives most of the year in the English countryside, growing vegetables and cooking like a fiend - escaping to sunny St Lucia when the days get short in England.

Why they chose this property

Amazing location that I fell for when I first visited the island in 1994. The villa was designed by a modernist architect and is energy neutral with a solar system supplying as much electricity and hot water as we are using and collecting annual rainfall in a vast cistern.

What makes this property unique

Exceptional facilities and outlook. This is the most prominent Piton view in the area., close enough to the water edge without the noise, high enough to catch cooling breeze, convenient enough to walk to the beach and close enough to neighbours for security whilst far enough for privacy. Many options in how to enjoy your stay living indoors and outdoors simultaneously.
