here, particularly near the Choiseul Village.
Anse l’Ivrogne Beach
Also known as the Black Hole because of the underwater drop of 600 meters, this infamous
beach is located at the foot of Gros Piton. The beach is regarded as one of the best sites for scuba
diving in Saint Lucia.
Balenbouche Estate
Owner Uta Lawaetz walks you through her unique property, imparting the history and hardships
endured in keeping the land. Throughout time land has been seized from non-natives living
in Saint Lucia. What was once a 2000+ acre sugar plantation and mill is now a modest 70 acre
eco-lodge/organic farm and an honored Saint Lucia heritage site.

The unique property is a favorite yoga retreat and lodging for guests desiring seclusion in a
wildly natural setting. 4 guest villas are available.
