Arc en Ciel is a wonderful property situated on Beau Estate, near Soufrière and the World Heritage site of the Pitons. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, it is just a short distance from Jalousie Beach and the hotel. Soufrière is a sleepy fishing village, but offers many activities nearby, including the drive-in volcano, diving and snorkelling at Anse Chastanet beach and exotic tropical gardens and mineral baths at Diamond Estate.
The house has been imaginatively designed to a very high standard and also incorporates many aspects of traditional Caribbean style with its verandas, jalousie shutters and wooden railings. It has been constructed as a number of small pavilions connected by verandas. The exterior of the house is partially finished with a facing of hand-chipped stones to resemble the forts, which were constructed on the island many hundreds of years ago. Surrounding the house is an extensive landscaped garden with a wide variety of tropical flowers and trees.
The five bedrooms all have air conditioning and ceiling fans, and their own TV, DVD and stereo. The living/dining room at the centre of the house is also equipped with TV, DVD and stereo and opens to a terrace, leading to a spectacular dining gazebo, where guests can dine with the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons. Downstairs there is a covered terrace with large outdoor living/dining area with bar and fridge. This leads to an extensive pool deck and a series of smaller pool patios. The infinity edge pool weaves its way around this area and includes a stone cave with waterfall.
