Cap Maison to feature largest suites in Eastern Caribbean

What will probably be the largest luxury hotel suites in the Eastern Caribbean will open next year at the new Cap Maison resort currently under construction on St Lucia’s exclusive Cap Estate. The luxury property is the only small, exclusive five-star development in the north of the island and is due to open in March 2008.

Cap Maison is one of the Caribbean’s most interesting new boutique hotel developments and on completion will be a 49 room luxury hotel with the accommodation arranged across 22 extremely elegant yet comfortable villas. The villa sizes vary and can offer up to three separate hotel bedrooms and can be booked exclusively.

The hotel is being built atop an ocean bluff above a secluded sandy beach and will offer magical views over to historic Pigeon Island and across to neighbouring Martinique. With both Caribbean and Mexican architectural accents, the hotel will feature large airy rooms with beautiful wooden jalousie doors and windows, elegant bathrooms, terracotta roof tiles and large private balconies and roof terraces overflowing with flowers.

The property’s Ocean View Grand Villa Suites measure up to 3,000sq ft, making them the largest in the Eastern Caribbean. They will come with a large ensuite bedroom with private balcony, kitchen and separate living/ dining room with verandah and a private roof terrace with swimming pool and bar. All rooms and suites will have the 21st century convenience of plasma screen televisions, stereos and wireless internet.

Guests will be able to have their dinner cooked by private chefs in the suite and served on the roof terrace while holidaymakers and diners alike will be able to make use of the walk in wine cellar where they will find one of the widest ranges of wines to be found in St Lucia.

Guests will be offered the very best personalised service and be able to enjoy the resort’s cliff top restaurant, spa, gym, beach and water sports facilities and play golf at the nearby St Lucia Golf and Country Club. A new Jack Nicklaus designed course is being constructed five minutes away from the resort and is scheduled to open in 2009.

The popularity of St Lucia for holidaymakers and property investors alike seems unstoppable. Johnny Depp, Oprah Winfrey and Harrison Ford are amongst the celebrities who have chosen to buy homes on the island and in addition to the Jack Nicklaus course currently three other new 18-hole signature golf courses (by Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Christie O’Connor Jnr) are being constructed. This means that St Lucia will be well placed to become the Caribbean’s number one golfing destination.
