….MORNE TRULAH: It’s a refuge, a bird sanctuary, a work-from-home office with fiber- optic broadband, a fully self-contained family compound; private, secluded, and secure; registered and licensed accommodation.

The Morne Trulah Estate is a vertiable Mount Olympus, a 9-acre tract of unspoiled rain forest and tropical gardens perched atop a mountain peninsula surrounded 270º by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Within this Eden rests the ruins of a 17c French fort-- among which one of the world's most outstanding and desirable homes was built in 1964 and restored 2013-2017.

At the base of the penninsula (3-minutes walk along the footpath) are three clean, safe, quiet, and uncrowded beaches: Trouya Beach, Cuti Cove, and Windjammer Beach.

The Morne Trulah Estate commands spectacular panoramic views in every cardinal direction and from every room. It wants for nothing-- and neither shall you-- as it offers its guests a standard of luxury greater than any other. You will be treated and feel like royalty.

Lounge Areas  As you enter the residence from the South a twenty-foot high, cantilevered cathedral ceiling lifts your spirits. The soaring rooflines frame sublime water views to the North, South, East and West. Beneath your feet rest 500-year-old Tudor bricks and Welsh slate (i.e. repurposed ballast from ancient trading ships coming to the island from England) and extend from the entrance northward through the covered lanai overlooking an infinity pool, Pigeon Point in Rodney Bay, and beyond to Martinique.
To the East  The croquet lawn and vibrant bougainvilla hedges frame Trouya Beach and surreal views of Morne Flambeau and Morne Pimard;
Westward  Sunsets beckon and illuminate the unbroken expanse of the Caribbean Sea and the islet locally known as Barrel O'Beef Rock.
To the North  the historic Pigeon Point stands guard at the entrance to Rodney Bay, protecting the island from any of a number of historical invasions launched from Martinique (which can be clearly seen in the distance on most days).
South, East and West  Whether you like to relax with a good book while perched overlooking Trouya Beach or to sip sunset cocktails while sailing ships float gently by in hope of catching the phenomenal 'green flash' at sunset, Morne Trulah is the island’s most perfect residence.

Home Theatre Area  Inside a cozy nook off the main living area rests the home theatre. Designed for comfortable family viewing, the cinema features a 60-inch Sony Bravia television, Yamaha surround sound and Apple TV.

Chef’s Kitchen  If you choose to cook, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. In addition to 180 degree views over the Caribbean, the kitchen boasts a full assortment of commercial appliances and dinner service. It's a dream kitchen come to life.

Dining Area  Just off the kitchen is the dining area-- also featuring 180 degree water views framed by the soaring cathedral ceiling. Some compare the feel of the room to being in a giant tree house overlooking the azure sea below.

Guest Suites  Every Morne Trulah guest debates which bedroom suite has the best views. All have spectacular window walls reaching out to the Sea in two cardinal directions and feature their own newly renovated, ensuite bathrooms featuring double vanities and rain showers. Whether you enjoy night-time sea breezes or air conditioning, you will be cool and comfortable in your King-sized canopy bed. Outside your suite a private wrap-around deck awaits, enabling you to savour the views indoors or out.

Nine Lush Seaside Acres  Morne Trulah enjoys one of the Caribbean’s finest tropical gardens contained within a high-security, 10’ high security fence. We secure the perimeter of the compound so that our guests don’t have to live behind security bars like caged animals!
The botanic garden surrounding the house has been cultivated over a fifty-year period by three generations of owners; the gardens host hundreds of orchids, exotic trees and local fauna and flora unique to the island. The gardens were conceived in 1964 to take advantage of St Lucia’s rich volcanic soil, the island’s perfect growing conditions, and Morne Trulah’s spectacular views. The previous owners enlisted the island’s foremost horticulturalist, Veronica Shingleton-Smith (owner of Mamiku Botanic Gardens) to oversee the construction of planting out of the gardens. With a background in London stage design, her creation provides the dramatic structure. More recent works by Michael Mills amended and extended the gardens with the richest soils and collections of the island’s most exotic and endangered plant species. The current owners expanded Ms. Shingleton-Smith's original vision by adding an additional three seaside acres to the garden’s original four. Continuing under the unbroken tutelage of Ms Shingleton Smith, hundreds of tons of volcanic top soil was trucked in and tens of thousands of new plantings were established. Morne Trulah now boasts the island’s largest variety of microclimates, exotic flowering trees, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and rare plam trees.

½ km Nature Trail  The 2013 addition of three more acres enabled the creation of a private, half-kilometer nature trail that circumnavigates Morne Trulah. Further purchases secured the hinterlands to protects the views.

Beginning on the west side of the property, one enjoys perfect serenity walking along the top of a seaside cliff shaded by ancient old-growth trees. The pathway itself is covered with a carpet of zoisa grass and meanders through hundreds of coconut palms, bananas, pineapples, citrus, cocoa, passion fruit and scores of other tropical species. The views are uninterrupted across Choc Bay toward Castries Harbour. It is unimaginably beautiful.

The path emerges at the north end of the property where one enjoys uninterrupted views of Martinique and Pigeon Island while strolling amongst the coconut palms and bogenvilla. Around the east side of the property gentle waves crash into Trouya Beach as one winds around to the Morne Trulah vegetable and herb gardens.

Kitchen Garden  As a Morne Trulah guest you are free to pick whatever vegetables, fruits and herbs you like. Or tell one of the gardeners what you would like and they will pick it for you and prepare it for your table. Depending upon the season, enjoy fresh mangoes, pineapples, bananas, watermelon, pumpkin, tomatoes, grapefruit, and many other vegetables and fruits. If you like to cook, help yourself to the fresh thyme, basil, parsley, bay, rosemary and the many other herbs growing there.

Croquet Lawn  Morne Trulah boasts the island’s only croquet lawn. Created by the head greenskeeper for the Saint Lucia Golf Club, the green features a 21 metre-long expanse with idyllic, 180 degree views over Rodney Bay toward Pigeon Island and Martinique. The croquet court cum bowling green can also be used as a putting green, for lawn tennis or bowling as well as for large, private events such as weddings and anniversaries. We can seat 400 guests or host 150 for a meal.

The Morne Trulah Estate provides offers a full-service concierge whereby all transfers by helicopter or mini-van, transportation, provisioning, private-chef, on-site personal spa services, on-site massage, event planning, excursions, and private water sporting activities may be booked and the logistics handled seamlessly; concierge services are offered for a surcharge on the receipted costs of the products and services we secure on your behalf.

A piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven is how I would describe Morne Trulah. If you are looking for tranquility and a vacation where you can completely unwind then this property offers that in abundance. The house is exquisite from the interiors, to the lush forest landscaped garden outside. I honestly never wanted to leave. The beds are very comfortable the house provides everything you could need. All the staff were fabulous and made my holiday so much more memorable from cooking me authentic dishes to sharing some rich history about the island. Michael thought of everything so I didn’t have to. 7 star service at all times. all the activities I did were coordinated by the concierge and I had days when I went out exploring the island and other days where I just sat by the infinity pool and relaxed. Definitely a holiday I will repeat in the future.

The dreamiest home ever.
I’ve stayed in many beautiful places throughout the world, but Morne Trulah is in a class of its own. Must be seen to be believed. The views go all the way around! We woke up early each morning to see the sunrise between the mountains to the east, enjoyed the sun as it passed overhead, watched the sunset to the west, then watched the stars overhead at night unsullied by light pollution— all from the one same place. Having traveled all over the island during our holiday, I can confidently say that nothing remotely compares to Morne Trulah. I wish we would’ve stayed here our entire trip rather than having stayed for part of it down south. The food, the staff, the decor, the views, the service!!! All truly extraordinary and I’m exceptional. We are coming back for Thanksgiving and plan to make Morne Trulah our new regular annual getaway place.

Fantastic Destination
Our stay at Morne Trulah was incredible! Michael's staff were all first rate and extremely accommodating. Two weeks went by way too quickly. The grounds are beautiful and extremely private. Sherma was a fantastic concierge and did a great job facilitating excursions, transportation, and dining experiences on and off the property. The property caretaker, Lucius, was available whenever we needed something and was very kind to all of us. The made to order breakfast prepared for us each morning by Katherine and her housekeeping staff was fantastic! All of the staff were top notch. I don't think I've ever been so relaxed on a vacation! We would love to return someday! St. Lucia is truly a wonderful island!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Mills

Host profile image
Hop on a plane to Hewanorra International Airport in the morning, skip up to Vigie Airport by helicopter, and jump into the car for the driver to take you up to Morne Trulah in time for the sunset. The house is kept ready for occupancy at a moment's notice. Fiberoptic broadband and peaceful surroundings make it possible to successfully run an international businesses at Morne Trulah while your children play safely and happily in the garden.

We employ five full-time staff to maintain our home to the highest standard. The house and grounds are kept in tip-top order-- Bristol fashion- such that our guests may experience the same level of luxury and service that we ourselves receive. Our professional concierge team meet your every need while in residence. There is no better; there is no equal; nothing even remotely comparable.

For the first ~5 years, we raised our two young children at Morne Trulah while we renovated this magnificent property. They love it; we love it. It is a work of art with cultural and historical significance.

Being at Morne Trulah is joyful, peaceful, and relaxing. We see and feel it in our dreams when we cannot be there ourselves. The children yearn for it. I cry every time I have to leave paradise to take the children to school in London. There is a feeling to the place, where one imagines God to have lived amongst Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It's a living sanctuary. Un-describable yet undeniable when experienced. Beauty. Harmony. Peace.

We proceed with integrity and strive to be the best in everything we do. We consider it our moral duty as our guest to hold your hand from the moment you step off the plane-- and thereafter to help you successfully navigate the potential pitfalls and vagaries of local culture and customs. We want our guests to have the most stress-free and relaxing holiday experience possible, so we leave nothing to chance.

We trust that you will come to love Morne Trulah as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. It boggles the mind to consider why such a large piece of property as The Morne Trulah Estate has been preserved with its surrounding natural environment intact. One is surrounded by the sound of waves crashing on the rocks, the fresh and cooling ocean breeze, the smell of tropical flowers in the air, and the unpolluted sight of the stars at night. It's magical, and captivating, and speaks directly to the human soul. Once one has settled into Paradise, there will be tears at the thought of having to leave; I strongly recommend to all guests that they reserve two weeks minimum. Residing at Morne Trulah is one of those extraordinary experiences that will stick with you as a joyous memory for life.

What makes this property unique

The Morne Trulah Estate is St Lucia's most secluded and exclusive private property. Nine private acres of lush tropical gardens surrounded by the the idyllic blue Caribbean on three sides. It feels like your own private island. Our full-time housekeepers will prepare breakfast and lunch for you (using provisions you supply) and will do the laundry. Private Chef is available for evening meals, on-call nanny and masseur are all available for a surcharge. 24x7x365 Concierge Services will source local products and services from trusted supplier (subject to service charge). Three lovely beaches are located a short 5 minute walk to the base of our mountain: Trouya Beach, Cuti Cove, and Windjammer Beach. Yours will likely be the only footprints on the beach at Cuti Cove where one may fish from the shore supported by our porters who can do all the heavy lifting. Restaurants and shops at Windjammer, and it's only 10 minutes by car to the grocers, restaurants and bars at Rodney Bay Marina. The Morne Trulah Estate has everything you would want without having to leave the property. It's like your own private island— a world of your own.

The property boasts St Lucia's only croquet lawn (and largest putting green)
inside the property's boundaries -- enabling hours of family fun!
