Arts & Culture
Eudovic uses local woods for his abstract carvings, and since no two roots are the same, every single sculpture is unique and different. The main wood he uses is Laurier Canelle, which is now extinct on the island; but he uses the old stumps and uncovered roots which are usually found deep in the forest. Laurier Canelle has a remarkable beauty which one can see after a sculpture has been completed. It is also very durable. Other woods used are Mahogany, Teak, Laurier Mabouey and red and white Cedar.
At his studio on the Morne - 15 minutes from The Villa -, you can see his magnificent pieces on display - pieces that beg to be touched.

Pigeon Island, a 40-acre islet connected by a causeway to St. Lucia’s west coast, is a beautiful nature park which reflects a thousand years of history.
Pigeon Island was a Carib settlement, a pirate’s hideout and the site of one of the strongest fortifications on St. Lucia.
There are marked trails with a number of historical sites, like the remains of an 18th-century British fort and Fort Rodney, where the Admiral for which it is named spied on the French ships from its strategic viewpoint.

Hibiscus, Ixora, Heliconias, Anthurium, Frangipani, Orchid, Allamanda and the magnificent Balisier with their exotic blossoms and equally exotic names now brighten the gardens. Vanilla, a member of the Orchid family, climbs up the trunk of the cocoa trees (a natural host) only bearing its valuable aromatic pods if each flower is carefully pollinated by hand.
Behind the baths a path leads to the beautiful Diamond waterfall whose water creates brilliant colours on the rock face by the minerals it contains.

The Sulphur Springs are made of 24 bubbling cauldrons where a portion of the volcanic rim collapsed and opened fissures in the crust. The water in the craters, blackened by the iron sulphate still maintains a temperature of 171° Centigrade or 340° Fahrenheit.
More technically, the area is classified as a caldera, or rather a portion of the volcanic rim that has collapsed in on itself, opening fissures in the crust. This allows for the constant escape of steam through the bubbling cauldrons, preventing the build up of pressure which would cause an eruption.
