Stonefield Estate Villa Resort
Imagine spectacular views of St. Lucia, the most beautiful island in the Caribbean, of the Pitons, a dramatic World Heritage Site, and of breathtaking sunsets, all from the comfort of your hammock.

Imagine gourmet meals of fresh, locally-caught fish, locally-grown fruits and vegetables, and exotic spices.

Imagine plantation luxury, in one of 20 large, custom-designed villas built to maximize the views and filled with hand-made and antique hardwood furnishings, shutters, and mosquito nets.

Imagine unique resort indulgences, including outdoor showers, hammocks, Caribbean sunsets, and 26 acres of flowers and mango trees.

Then imagine the storybook romance of having it all to yourself.

At the Stonefield Estate Villa Resort, in St. Lucia, West Indies, you can relax and enjoy one of the most beautiful vacations in the world, partaking in perhaps the greatest luxury of all--not having to share it with the rest of the world.

Stonefield caters to couples, families, honeymooners, and weddings and offers an array of activities including hiking, tours, waterfalls, scuba, snorkelling, beaches, yachting, and fine dining.

For reservations, please call your travel professional or 758-459-7037.
