TI ZAN COTTAGE

WE ARE SUPER EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE AC HAS BEEN INSTALLED AS OF JULY 10th!

Close enough to all activities and yet an oasis of tranquility this exotic property with its sensuous style of easy luxury set on an acre of hillside above the sea, combines the best of West Indian architecture with a hint of the East, to create a home of exceptional tropical flair, character and ambiance.

With its typical West Indian woodwork, hand-made Demarara and louvered windows, vaulted Indonesian style wooden shingled roofs, organic mix of natural stone, marble, wood and glass, burnt orange exterior, “outdoor” shower set in lush gardens, this stylish yet rustic cottage provides a great location for an exceptional, romantic Caribbean experience perfect for two.

Perched on the hillside above the main villa ZANDOLI, the views from Ti Zan are even more spectacular. The large covered veranda and cane chairs around a wooded table, is a perfect place for any meal, or any time.

The deck opens onto a spacious open-plan studio with queen size bed, TV, and kitchen tiled in earth toned tumbled marble. The floor to ceiling wooden louvers and large doors are designed to ensure that the drama of the view is fully captured within the cottage at all times.

The shower area is unique. Tiled with local river and imported stone, the area is suspended outdoors with large traditional wooden windows flung wide open to embrace the view. Both the main villa, Zandoli and Ti Zan were designed with a blend of modern and traditional architectural detailing of their roofs, eaves and windows to capture the most of the prevailing Trade Winds to ensure tropical, yet cool comfort year round. New pexiglass fittings on windows ensures that the AC keeps the cottage nice and cool - while still enjoying the stunning views.

The gardens are tropical and lush, with an infusion of exotic palms, grasses, trees, shrubs, and other tropical species, interspersed with an array of fruit trees.

Ti Zan is within walking distance to the beach and Pigeon Island, a great area for hiking, running, walking and exploring the history of this region. Pigeon Island is a historic National Park and home of St. Lucia’s internationally famous Jazz Festival, now in its 23rd year, and held in May. Sunset “rum punch” cruises, championship golf, tennis, internationally renowned health spas, restaurants, clubs, banks, shopping and a marina with yachts available for charter await, a 5-7 minute ride by car to Rodney bay Marina and Rodney Bay Village.

The cottage is accessed by road, a short section of which (approximately 1 minute ) is unpaved - causing our guests to say that it puts them immediately in the mood for 'Island Life".

We usually recommend that our guests opt for an SUV type vehicle if they are interested in renting given that it provides superb access to off-the-beaten track gems in St Lucia. Staff: Housekeeper half-day service, once weekly.

About the host

Hosted by Len Ishmael

Host profile image
I built my home Zandoli, and cottage Ti Zan 12 years ago, on a site which I had waited to be put on the market for as long as I can remember - because of its simply stunning, panoramic views.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is close to everything - a 5 minute car ride to shopping, banks, restaurants, live music, and within walking distance to the beach. Yet an oasis of tranquility to retreat too, incredibly private, intimate and romantic - with arguably one of the most stunning views on island! It is spacious enough for two, yet incredibly intimate and romantic.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this site years ago because of its proximity to the island's most fabulous beaches, places of interest, but more than anything else, the quality of its views.
