Balenbouche Estate is a unique mixture of guesthouse, organic farm, St Lucia heritage site, and family residence, and is unlike any other type of accomodation on St. Lucia. Here, you will find a piece of the past preserved, amongst huge old trees, exotic gardens, undisturbed ruins, secluded beaches, charming architecture, eclectic art and design, and people who care deeply about the property and the wellbeing of the environment. Balenbouche is located on the picturesque south-western coast of st Lucia, just a 20 minute drive from the Hewanorra International airport, between the towns of Vieux Fort and Soufriere.
