Just a short distance from the tranquil and charming fishing village of Soufriere on St. Lucia, the Villa Arc En Ciel awaits. It is a five-bedroom beauty that is part of the prestigious Beau Estate and it rests in a picture-postcard perfect positioning between the gorgeous Pitons. From here, you can easily reach Anse Chastanet or the beautiful gardens of Diamond Estate, but with the beauty and amenities of the property, you may find it offers all you need for your island holiday.

Sitting in its stunning surround of manicured gardens, and flawlessly designed by a skilled architect, the two-story villa has an excessive amount of charm. Using a blend of wooden shingles, yellow-hued stucco, natural stone, and gingerbread-like accents, it provides you with a stunning range of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces.

The pool area is going to become a major focal point thanks to its two-story gazebo that connects to the property via two utterly charming bridges. The L-shaped, infinity edge pool is framed in stone and gardens, with a furnished sun deck along one edge. It wraps the property and features a waterfall along with a shady, natural stone grotto.

The verandah that faces the pool has been furnished as a full-sized outdoor living space, with cozy and casual wicker sofas and chairs that give it a truly island feel. There is also an al fresco dining spot that looks out at the mountains. Inside, a remarkably stylish great room awaits, and it is furnished in a contemporary manner that reflects the island themes. High ceilings, dark stained wood floors and formal living and dining areas stand at the ready.

The gourmet kitchen also awaits, but with chef services for all three meals, you may never need to explore the gourmet space.

The five bedrooms of the villa are masterpieces of private comfort and luxury. They include everything from private decks and terraces to another small pool and each has an enormous, private bath.

Luxurious, beautiful and private, choose Villa Arc En Ciel for an unforgettable vacation.

The rental rates include: Welcome upon arrival and villa orientation, housekeeping service 7 days per week, chef service 7 days per week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, pool technician weekly, caretaker on site, gardener 8am > 4pm 5 days per week, villa manager on call and utilities (water, electricity, BBQ gas / charcoal, WiFi internet coverage). Provisions and staff gratuities are not included in the rates.

We had a wonderful time! Once again, the staff at Arc En Ciel exceeded our expectations. Thanks for your assistance with planning.


Daniel Apr, 2023

The house and staff are actually even better than can be presented online. If you would like to go and stay in a place that has Avatar like beauty with a great team of people there, this is it!!! Would return again in a heartbeat.

The team did a great job making sure everything was teed up for a great vacation and they delivered in spades on the whole experience!

The landscape surrounding Arc En Ciel is some of the most stunning natural beauty I have ever seen. The way the house is sited you are lifted directly over the water, we could hear waves crashing while we did yoga on the terrace. You have full view of the petite Piton and the water amidst lush vegetation, it is simply spectacular. The chef here is very capable, our last night she prepared individually plated beautiful and succulent Caribbean lobsters for 10 people. The outside vendors that we were connected to were all great we had a driver, a yoga instructor, a boat ride, and massages, all were very good. The rooms are charming and spacious and fit our group of 10 very well. Some rooms (those upstairs) are definitely more luxe than others, but who really cares when you are in paradise. As others have noted there is a super steep 5-10 minute walk down to the beach, but what a beach it is!! Jaw-droppingly gorgeous.


Marcia Apr, 2022

What can I say about Arc En Ciel. It felt like a home if you lived in a paradise. I have never had such a flawless vacation experience. Diane, Raymond, Sherleen, “Poopuss “ and Marcia took such great care of us. Words cannot accurately describe how all 6 of us felt about this vacation. We have and had no complaints. We are already planning our return.

We reserved our stay at Arc En Ciel on St. Lucia through Isle Blue. What a wonderful experience. The description and photos of the property were accurate. The process was seedless. I received timely updates and reminders. Lisa and Mary of Isle Blue were extremely helpful. From booking until check out, our expectations were greatly exceeded. I will book future trips via Isle Blue.


Adele Jan, 2022

Everything about Arc en Ciel was beautiful, the setting the villa the attentive staff and the food. We had a fantastic relaxing family holiday. A few points to note, the property is set on a very steep hill which made venturing out to the beach quite hard work - not suitable for people with limited mobility. The towels were not great - would have expected nice large fluffy ones in a property of this calibre (including the pool towels). The plumbing was also problematic. I think the sanitaryware was all a little dated - could do with an upgrade.


Kyia M. Sep, 2019

Beautiful home with amazing views. the staff was great and the home was a 10. can't complain about anything.

Lisa (at Isle Blue) was incredibly helpful and patient, the prices are clear and really competitive and their villa selection and our rental are top notch. would definitely rent from them again.


Pawel Nov, 2017

The most breathtaking views imaginable! Amazing villa and even better staff.

We absolutely loved our stay at Arc En Ciel – we were so sad to leave. The staff treated us like royalty and we had the most wonderful stay. The villa was gorgeous and so unique in a very private and peaceful location. We walked over to The Sugar Beach most days to the beach and have cocktails. But we loved to just lounge by the pool also. It was a great stay and I hope we get to return some day.

This villa is incredible. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The villa staff were wonderful and kind. If you ever need a quiet, relaxing place to stay in St. Lucia I would recommend this villa without any reservations.

Arc En Ciel is nestled between the Pitons, a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the most iconic images of St. Lucia. The villa is situated in a tropical paradise of exotic flora and fauna, overlooking the stunning white sand, vibrant corals and turquoise waters of Sugar Beach. The villa is exceptionally well designed, modern and extremely spacious with beautiful furniture inside and out. It is well maintained, everything is in immaculate condition. Each individual room is complete with its own en-suite and private terrace. The villa has a large infinity pool, plunge pool and pool cave. The master bedroom even has its own infinity pool. There are a multitude of places to rest and relax around the villa and its large surrounding grounds. The property is the perfect spot for families, groups of friends or couples looking to get away from it all. The hosts, Raymond and Diane, are incredibly welcoming and very helpful in advising on the places of interest. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They cooked us delicious food all week, using fresh local ingredients. From the flaming banana flambe to the barbeque on the final night; each meal was superb. The villa is within walking distance of Sugar Beach, where a sophisticated beachside restaurant is located. From here boat trips to other parts of the island are on offer, along with a huge range of activities including snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, kayaking, catamaran sailing and banana boating. Arc En Ciel is a truly exceptional place; the magnificent memories I have from my stay will live long in my memory. Staying here is a once in a life time experience.


Imogen S. Jan, 2017

Quite simply the most beautiful place in the world. This supremely private property is couldn't have been a more perfect place for us to unwind, relax and soak in the beauty of St Lucia's finest nature reserve. All of the rooms have spectacular views looking over the pitons, the beds are comfy, ensuite's are large and everything is spotlessly clean. The hosts, Diane and Raymond, made us feel at home right from arrival, cooking us delicious meals, organising various excursions (the boat trip was wonderful) and always on hand to whip up a strong rum punch! I count myself very lucky to have been able to stay at Arc en Ciel, it's a truly special place I will remember forever.


Sarah D. Nov, 2016

The first time I arrived at Arc En Ciel truly took my breath away. Even on the last day of my second trip to the property I still had to pinch myself that it was real. It really is the picture perfect destination you expect to see on the front pages of Tatler or on Instagram under the hashtag #paradise. Well, I can assure you paradise is no false reality.. Look no further. A magnificent property, fantastic location, welcoming and friendly hospitality. It really does not get much better than this. I would never dream of looking elsewhere on the island now I have found this little bit of heaven. Although you will find no need to leave Arc En Ciel with so much beauty and amenities on your doorstep, situated on the south side of the island right in between the world famous Pitons, the property is perfectly situated with easy access by boat and car to most of the activities on the island. It is a short distance to travel from the international airport, without any sign of planes or air traffic near by. Set back from the Prestigious Beau Estate, you truly do feel you are the only ones on the island, with access to the Sugar Beach Resort only minutes away should you want it. On top of the beautiful and charming architecture that Arc En Ciel boasts, it is furnished perfectly with each individual room complete with its own ensuite and private terrace. Across the property, there are three infinity swimming pools for you to choose from. AND a pool cave. Whether part of a larger group, or a romantic trip for two, every part of this house has something to offer and something to explore. Raymond and Diane were the perfect hosts and nothing was ever too much to ask. They cooked the most beautiful and fresh meals all week, and helped us with everything from organising cars/boats, special excursions and personalised trips across the island, to creating such a memorable BBQ on the last night of our trip. Paradise Lost? Paradise Found...


Eric M. Jun, 2016

My fiance and I stayed here for one week as part of a large group. From the first moment of Raymond picking us up just outside Soufriere we had a wonderful experience. Arc en Ciel is perched between the two Pitons near the south end of island and conveniently close to the international airport. You won't find a house in a better location; it has sweeping views of the beaches below and of both Pitons. The house is set back far from the road on a large estate and is incredibly private. The house features incredible verandas and the wonderful staff will serve delicious food for all meals of the day. The central feature of the house is a beautiful infinity pool; there is even a plunge pool that you can jump into from the main pool. My favourite feature here was the pool side bar which we made great use of! The house is situated within the wider Sugar Beach resort which has wonderful restaurants and provides many oceanfront activities (windsurfing, scubadiving etc.). This house has 6 private bedroom ensuites so is perfect for a large group of couples that want a relaxing and luxury week in paradise.
