St Lucia

"We left Durban Airport at 12h00 and arrived in St.Lucia in 1910…It is the authentic Africa.” – Guest comment in our visitor’s book.

The picturesque village of St Lucia is uniquely surrounded by the Great St Lucia Lake, the warm Indian Ocean with its unspoiled golden beaches, and the breathtaking iSimangaliso Wetland Park. With water on three sides and access only via a bridge over the St Lucia Lake, this charming hamlet is affectionately known by locals as “The Island.”

St Lucia holds the remarkable distinction of being the only private village in the world located entirely within a Natural World Heritage Site—the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Here, you can experience the best of both worlds: a true "bush and beach" getaway with the convenience of a small yet well-equipped village. Despite its intimate size, St Lucia offers a selection of restaurants, supermarkets, banks, fuel stations, and a welcoming community of approximately 400 permanent residents.

With its subtropical climate, St Lucia is a year-round destination. Summer temperatures average around 30°C, while winter remains pleasantly warm, with highs in the lower 20s. Thanks to the warm Agulhas Ocean current, the Indian Ocean stays invitingly warm and swimmable—even in winter—mirroring the gentle warmth of the day.
