Sea kayaking, windsurfing, hobie cat sailing, paddle boarding and snorkeling are available right off the Cap Maison beach and supervised by the Cap Maison watersports team. Kite surfing is located a few minutes away on Cas-en-Bas Beach on the Atlantic coast. Diving is excellent in St. Lucia and there are plenty of operators in nearby Rodney Bay Marina who offer regular dives, bespoke dives and Padi approved courses. Front Desk can assist with recommendations and bookings.

Cap Maison owners enjoy concessionary golf at the nearby St. Lucia Golf Country Club. Just minutes away, this challenging and undulating par 71 6,685 yard course sits between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean affording incredible sea views at certain spots.

The club provides a full driving range, golf carts, and rental clubs/shoes. There is also a well stocked drinks cart, full clubhouse bar and restaurant. See www.stluciagolf.com for more detail.

Further afield, there are several bespoke tours that will help you climb the Pitons or delve into the depths of the rain forest and wetlands where you can see rare and exotic birds (like the once critically endangered St. Lucian parrot) and other animals.

One day a long time ago one of Cap Maison’s owners took a group of villa owners and guests for a run on some hidden trails along the wild and deserted East Coast. The group loved it so much that from there grew the Cap Maison Hiking & Running Club – and it has been challenging visitors ever since! There are several trails available for all ages, fitness levels and abilities. Whether a dedicated trail runner, casual jogger or hiker there are many wonderful landscapes and scenes to enjoy.

During December the marina becomes a hive of activity as over 250 participants in the annual ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) Challenge across the Rodney Bay finishing line having raced all the way from Gran Canaria.

The Rodney Bay Marina is minutes away and there are day charter operators offering both crewed and bareboat options. A trip to the white sand tiny islands of the Grenadines, surrounded by turquoise transparent water, is a life experience not to be missed.
