The Lodge is set in a private corner at Cosmos St Lucia - see separate listing for the Villa at Cosmos St Lucia. Positioned approximately 100' from The Villa, The Lodge is not overlooked, nor does it overlook the Villa. The Lodge can be rented independently for just two guests or it can be rented together with the Villa, allowing for a maximum of 16 guests in total on the property.

The extraordinary location and stunning modernist architecture set 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. Unsurprisingly, The Lodge is frequently booked for honeymoons and special occasions.

Facing southwest to the Pitons, the sunset and the Caribbean Sea, The Lodge invites peaceful contemplation. Enjoy a queen size bed draped with mosquito netting that doubles as a sofa by day, two comfy armchairs, a walk-in closet, locally made wooden furnishings and a kitchen bar. The kitchen has a full sized fridge with freezer and is adequately equipped for self catering with a four burner hob, electric oven, toaster, blender, coffee maker and utensils. The water supply throughout the house is filtered. The outdoor bathroom is completely private, but fully open to the elements - and the gorgeous view. Below the plunge pool there is a sun deck with two loungers overlooking the mountains and the sea.

Daily housekeeping and homemade continental breakfast is included (the banana muffins are legendary). Picnics, lunch, and dinner are also available, with meals served in the privacy of The Lodge. Our menus focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce; guests describe meals as both delicious and healthy - see guests reviews, don’t miss out!

ECO LUXURY
The experience at Cosmos is only sustainable by being mindful of the environmental footprint on this beautiful island. The Lodge is cooled by two ceiling fans and the natural breeze thanks to its position high on a ridge, but is not air conditioned. 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.
