Saline Pointe, Brise De Mer’s exact location, belongs to the exclusive community of Cap Estate, occupying most of the northern tip of Saint Lucia. This Caribbean haven is home to an eighteen-hole golf course, acres of tropical greenery, luxury villas and picturesque coastline.
Anse Du Cap is just a short distance from Brise De Mer. A black sand beach with lovely calm waters, come here for a quiet afternoon’s sunbathing and swimming. Also close by are Anse Bucne – another black sand beach – and Smuggler’s Cove which is great for snorkelling. The sea is crystal clear and with Marine Reserves around Anse Cochon and the Pitons, the sea life can be spectacular. If you fancy learning to dive, the Caribbean is a fantastic place to start. Find a state-of-the-art dive school in Rodney Bay.
If you’re a golfer, staying at Brise De Mer will feel like paradise. Saint Lucia Golf, an eighteen-hole golf course, is on your doorstep. Complete with rental shop and Caribbean grill restaurant at the clubhouse, it is championship standard and the only course on the entire island.
To explore the island further, look out for the Dollar Buses which run between Cap Estate, Rodney Bay and Castries. You can wait at a stop or just hail one as it goes by. They’re privately run, and in true Caribbean style, fun and laid-back! Head to Castries on a Saturday morning for row after row of market stalls, piled high with mouth-watering fruits and spices.
Be sure to land back at Brise De Mer in enough time to find your favourite place on the verandah or pool deck and watch on in admiration as the sun sets on the horizon. Bliss!
