Two more guests (most suited to older children) may be added on single beds in two of the bedrooms, increasing Villa capacity to 14. OPEN AIR EXPERIENCE Stunning modernist architecture sets Cosmos apart. Designed for open air living, the indoor and outdoor blends seamlessly in this magical place where mountain, sea and sky meet. Enjoy hummingbirds feeding, lizards darting among rocks, the sunset song of tiny tree frogs and a canopy of stars that seems close enough to touch, untainted by light pollution. In the vicinity are rainforests, hot springs, botanical gardens, glistening seas, beaches and protected coral reefs. The Lodge at Cosmos St Lucia (see separate listing) sits 100’ from The Villa in a private corner of the property. It can be rented together with the Villa, sleeping 2 more, allowing for a maximum of 16 guests in total on the property. The Lodge may be rented to others if not required. Unsurprisingly, many guests book The Lodge as a honeymoon suite. Homemade continental breakfast is included (the banana muffins are legendary); picnics, lunch, dinner and special Celebration menus are available at an additional fee. Our menus focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce; guests describe meals as both delicious and healthy. At the heart of Cosmos is The Cantilever, a unique sustainable wood structure that hovers 500’ above the hillside. Pointing due west to the sea and sunset, this central space features sofa seating, a dining area for 12 (that can be extended) and a self-serve guest bar with its own fridge, freezer, coffee and tea-making facilities, ice maker, juicer and blender. To the rear is a restaurant-style cook’s kitchen with the capacity to cater for parties up to 25 people. Beyond The Cantilever are terraces with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Piton mountains. Enjoy the 48’ ozone infinity pool and a solar heated stone plunge pool, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, al-fresco eating area and the open-air Pavilion lounge. The scale and layout suits multigenerational families and friendship groups; the terrace guard rails require strict supervision for children under five.

ECO LUXURY The experience at Cosmos is only sustainable by being mindful of the environmental footprint on this beautiful island. Cosmos is naturally cooled by northern trade winds, so while ceiling fans feature in all the bedrooms and air con is available in The Villa bedrooms for the hottest season, it is not intended for constant use. As with all things in life, sustainable luxury is about striking a new balance. This is just one aspect of how we tread a lighter footprint at Cosmos - see the eco luxury blog post on our website for more. CELEBRATIONS We regularly host intimate events marking life's milestones, such as small weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, for up to 25 guests. In addition to our full time housekeeping, grounds staff and transport providers, we collaborate with a variety of guest chefs, local musicians, floral designers and event planners to make your celebration truly spectacular.
