MORNE TRULAH: It’s a refuge, a bird sanctuary, a work-from-home office, a fully self-contained family compound; very secluded and secure; COVID-safe registered and licensed accommodation.
 
The Morne Trulah Estate is a vertiable Mount Olympus, a 9-acre tract of unspoiled rain forest and tropical gardens perched atop a mountain peninsula surrounded 330º by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Within this Eden rests the ruins of a 17c French fort-- among which one of the world's most outstanding and desirable homes was built in 1964 and restored 2013-2017.
 
The Morne Trulah Estate commands spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea in every direction and from every room. It wants for nothing-- and neither shall you-- as it offers its guests a standard of luxury and seclusion greater than any other. You will be treated and feel like royalty.
 
Lounge Areas  As you enter the residence from the South a twenty-feet high, cantilevered cathedral ceiling lifts your spirits. The soaring rooflines frame sublime water views to the North, South, East and West. Beneath your feet rest 500-year-old Tudor bricks and Welsh slate (i.e. repurposed ballast from ancient trading ships coming to the island from England) and extend from the entrance northward through the covered lanai overlooking an infinity pool and beyond to picturesque Rodney Bay.
 
To the East  The croquet lawn and vibrant bougainvilla hedges frame Trouya Beach;
 
Westward  Sunsets beckon and illuminate the unbroken expanse of the Caribbean Sea.
 
To the North  the historic Pigeon Point stands guard at the entrance to Rodney Bay, protecting the island from any of a number of historical invasions launched from Martinique (which can be clearly seen in the distance on most days).
 
South, East and West  Whether you like to relax with a good book while perched overlooking Trouya Beach or to sip sunset cocktails while sailing ships float gently by in hope of catching the phenomenal 'green flash' at sunset, Morne Trulah is the island’s most perfect residence.
 
Cinema Area  Inside a cozy nook off the main living area rests the cinema. Designed for comfortable family viewing, the cinema features a 60-inch Sony Bravia television, Yamaha surround sound and Apple TV.
 
Chef’s Kitchen  If you choose to cook, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. In addition to 180 degree views over the Caribbean, the kitchen boasts a full assortment of commercial appliances and dinner service.
 
Dining Area  Just off the kitchen is the dining area-- also featuring 180 degree water views framed by the soaring cathedral ceiling. Some compare the feel of the room to being in a giant tree house overlooking the azure sea below.
 
Guest Suites  Every Morne Trulah guest debates which bedroom suite has the best views. All have spectacular window walls reaching out to the Sea in two cardinal directions and feature their own newly renovated, ensuite bathrooms featuring double vanities and rain showers. Whether you enjoy night-time sea breezes or air conditioning, you will be cool and comfortable in your King-sized canopy bed. Outside your suite a private wrap-around deck awaits, enabling you to savour the views indoors or out.
 
Seven Lush Seaside Acres  Morne Trulah enjoys one of the Caribbean’s finest tropical gardens. Cultivated over a fifty-year period by three generations of owners, the gardens host hundreds of orchids, exotic trees and local fauna and flora unique to the island. The gardens were conceived in 1964 to take advantage of St Lucia’s rich volcanic soil, the island’s perfect growing conditions, and Morne Trulah’s spectacular views. The previous owners enlisted the island’s foremost horticulturalist, Veronica Shingleton-Smith (owner of Mamiku Botanic Gardens) to oversee the construction of planting out of the gardens. With a background in London stage design, her creation provides the dramatic structure. More recent works by Michael Mills amended and extended the gardens with the richest soils and collections of the island’s most exotic and endangered plant species. The current owners expanded Ms. Shingleton-Smith's original vision by adding an additional three seaside acres to the garden’s original four. Continuing under the unbroken tutelage of Ms Shingleton Smith, hundreds of tons of volcanic top soil was trucked in and tens of thousands of new plantings were established. Morne Trulah now boasts the island’s largest variety of microclimates, exotic flowering trees, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and rare plam trees.
 
½ km Nature Trail  The 2013 addition of three more acres enabled the creation of a private, half-kilometer nature trail that circumnavigates Morne Trulah. Beginning on the west side of the property, one enjoys perfect serenity walking along the top of a seaside cliff shaded by ancient old-growth trees. The pathway itself is covered with a carpet of zoisa grass and meanders through hundreds of coconut palms, bananas, pineapples, citrus, cocoa, passion fruit and scores of other tropical species. The views are uninterrupted across Choc Bay toward Castries Harbour. It is unimaginably beautiful.
 
The path emerges at the north end of the property where one enjoys uninterrupted views of Martinique and Pigeon Island while strolling amongst the coconut palms and bogenvilla. Around the east side of the property gentle waves crash into Trouya Beach as one winds around to the Morne Trulah vegetable and herb gardens.
 
Kitchen Garden  As a Morne Trulah guest you are free to pick whatever vegetables, fruits and herbs you like. Or tell one of the gardeners what you would like and they will pick it for you and prepare it for your table. Depending upon the season, enjoy fresh mangoes, pineapples, bananas, watermelon, pumpkin, tomatoes, grapefruit, and many other vegetables and fruits. If you like to cook, help yourself to the fresh thyme, basil, parsley, bay, rosemary and the many other herbs growing.
 
Croquet Lawn  Morne Trulah boasts the island’s only croquet lawn. Created by the head greenskeeper for the Saint Lucia Golf Club, the green features a 21 metre-long expanse with idyllic, 180 degree views over Rodney Bay toward Pigeon Island and Martinique. The croquet court cum bowling green can also be used as a putting green, for lawn tennis or bowling as well as for large, private events such as weddings and anniversaries. We can seat 400 guests or host 150 for a meal.
 
The Morne Trulah Estate provided as full-service concierge whereby all transfers by helicopter or mini-van, transportation, provisioning, private-chef, on-site personal spa services, on-site massage, event planning, excursions and private water sporting activities may be booked; concierge services are provided at a 15% surcharge.

For the first ~4 years, we raised our two young children at Morne Trulah while we renovated this magnificent property. We employ five full-time staff to maintain our home to the highest standard so that we can pop in and out at a moment's notice from our home in London, England where we now educate our children. The house and grounds are kept in tip-top order-- Bristol fashion- such that our guests may experience the same level of luxury and service that we ourselves receive.

You have to see it to believe it.

This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is so much better than one could possibly imagine from the photos. The property is massive with panoramic views and lush tropical gardens. It feel like a world unto yourself. We tasted Paradise and will find it impossible to forget Morne Trulah, the staff, and the owners genuine interest in our well being. . The staff catered to our every desire. Nothing was too much to ask. We wanted for nothing. I have never been treated so well in my life. It will be impossible to forget this place. You should put Morne Trulah on your bucket list-- You won't regret it.

Pure Paradise

This property is absolutely amazing and the grounds are immaculate! The pictures do not do it justice! We spent nine amazing days here. The only issue was, when it was time to leave we wanted more days! Sherman was absolutely a jewel and took amazing care of us. The house staff, Catherine, Sharon, Luciana, and another sweet lady were the kindest people and made amazing meals!!! Margueritte was easy to deal with in pre-planning all of our excursions, food, and anything and everything we desired! I cannot say enough kind words to describe Sherman to all of us! By the end of the trip he became like family to us! He took us to different beaches, toured the property with us and educated us allot about all the different flowers, shared island stories with us. You could feel is pride of his island! The owners Michael and Brad are very efficient in all communications! We can’t wait to go back next year!

Absolutely amazing...truly a one of a kind

Words just can’t do this home justice...it is truly a one of a kind property. I have rented many homes in numerous countries and this is by far the most incredible. The home sits on a massive oceanfront property with post card views of the Caribbean and incredible sunsets. Mature tropical landscaping throughout makes you feel like you are in your own private jungle. The swimming pool was perfect for afternoon dips and offered amazing ocean views. The home itself was very comfortable and well stocked with everything we could have asked for and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the house staff showed up for daily cleanings and to cook us breakfast every morning. They were so helpful in making suggestions and arrange it anything we needed, from transportation to local beaches and recommendations for the best restaurants. The week flew by and we all can’t wait to come back. If you are going to St. Lucia, you need to rent this house. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Relaxing retreat during COVID

What a perfect place to stay during COVID. We only were able to stay one week, so we weren’t able to leave quarantine but what a great place to be quarantined! The gardens, the pool, the house, we didn’t need more. Margueritte was wonderful and so knowledgeable! She booked our required COVID tests for our return home, stocked the house with groceries, arranged our helicopter transport to and from the airport, booked a private chef one night, booked us on 2 excellent COVID-certified boat tours with Captain Joe on Salty Boat Charters, and arranged all of our taxi trips! Sherman was excellent! If you need anything, talk to Sherman! The housekeepers, Catherine and Sharon, were wonderful too! We were so thrilled to get to try both of their authentic St. Lucian cuisine. What a treat! The owner, Michael, is also great to work with!

Heaven on Earth!

The property is stunning. With the views, the trade winds, the beautiful gardens, and the lovely home, you never really want to leave. But when you do, St Lucia provides a warm welcome at every turn and we enjoyed the beaches, sailing, the mineral and mud baths and local restaurants. But the real stunner here is this amazing house in a perfect location. Michael and the staff at Morne Trulah were helpful and warm at every turn and made sure every part of our stay was perfect (even accommodating our vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free daughter at meals!). It was a wonderful eacape and we can’t wait for the chance to return.

Paradise

I probably don't need to repeat what has been said before, but the entire property is amazing. This is a perfect house both for gathering with your group and for relaxing in privacy. There are several entertaining areas and a kitchen equipped for a chef as well as multiple spots on the grounds to relax alone in nature with gorgeous views. The house staff and property manager were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed everything from our eggs and bacon to St. Lucian salt fish and bakes prepared in the morning. We got a bit lost on our initial drive in without exact directions on which road to take to the house, but once we found our way, getting in and out via cab throughout the rest of the week was easy. My only complaint is that we had too much fun exploring the island and didn't get enough time to truly enjoy relaxing on the property. Can't wait to return.
