General Information

Adjusting to the local climate and nature:

• Be prepared when you head out into the sun, cover up, use sunscreen,

take plenty of water, and ideally a hat when you are going for a longer

walk

• Protect yourself from mosquitoes and use repellent, cover up if

necessary

• Use caution when swimming (in particular in Trou Roland Cove), there

are sea urchins in unexpected places and stepping onto one of them can

really hurt.

• When swimming in unknown waters (in particular at Roseau Beach),

be aware of unexpected currents

General Security

In and around Marigot Bay, crime rates are low, but petty thefts and harassment do occur occasionally. As in any other environment, be it in a big city at night or on a crowded holiday beach, opportunistic crime exists. To make your stay as safe as possible, it is recommended that you

• Blend-in and do not dress like a ‘flashy’ tourist. Not only will this

attract less attention, you might also get better bargains when

negotiating prices at local markets in Castries

• Do not take any valuables which you do not need when out and about,

and do not flash your cash or expensive gadgets. This particularly

applies when you plan to go swimming and cannot watch your

belongings on the beach. Just leave things at home.

• Avoid using large-denomination banknotes for short taxi trips, in local

market stalls or when buying from street vendors. Use smaller notes

and change if possible.

• Counter any unwanted harassment by street-vendors (or sellers on the

beach) with a firm “no” and walk away.

TREATMENTS IN YOUR ROOM :
relaxing sound healing therapy & Reiki

Who is tranqUility?

Hello, I am Simone and I am a UK trained Sound

Therapist, to Diploma level, and a Level II Practitioner

in the Usui system of Reiki.

What is Sound Healing?

It is a holistic therapeutic practise that utilises

vibrations and different frequencies of sound to

promote physical, mental and emotional well being.

Sounds have vibrations that affect us on a

neurological, physiological and biochemical level. It

is an ancient practise that harnesses the power of

sound vibrations to promote healing, relaxation and

raise energy levels.

How does it work?

The aim is to activate the parasympathetic nervous

system stimulating the Vegas nerve and sending

signals to the body that you are safe and allow full

relaxation.

The vibrations impact us on an elemental level and

some research has shows us that sounds consisting of

vibrations that can affect us

on a cellular level, impacting the brain, nerves and

muscles.

As the brain waves slow down, we shift from an active

to meditative or dream-like state. This gives the brain

the opportunity to organise thoughts; encourages

muscles to relax; activates self-healing; and, releases

emotions in a gentle way.

What are the benefits?

Sound Healing helps to harmonise body, mind and

spirit. The oscillation, or resonance, of molecules

triggered by the sound vibrations can cause

alternating compression and relaxation of cells, a

form of massage at a cellular level.

Studies have shown that it is relaxing and meditative

and can reduce stress, anxiety, negative thoughts,

lower the heart rate and blood pressure, and improve

Which instruments do you use?

I have 7 hand-beaten Himalayan singing bowls

aligned with each Chakra, 2 bowls specifically for

encircling, together with Tingsha (small bells) and

Koshi wind chimes.

The 7 bowls are placed close to the body aligning with

each Chakra as a 1:1 sound bath experience which

bathes the body in vibrations. The other 2 bowls,

Tingsha and Koshi are used during the session to

enhance the experience.

What is a typical session like?

I offer 1:1 and small group sessions (Reiki is only a

1:1 experience). Each session is personal and will be

different to the last whether with me or another

practitioner. It’s also best not to have any stimulants

(such as coffee or tea) for at least a couple of hours

before a session. And, no alcohol!

Usually, you will lie on the floor on a yoga mat, with

pillow and eye mask. This can be on your back, front

or side, whichever is most comfortable. Bowls are

placed around the body to provide a more immersive

experience than a group sound bath.

The session lasts for 60 minutes, with an additional 20

minutes set-up time and 10 minutes to pack up,

afterwards. I usually come to you, but can offer the

option to come to my home in Marigot Bay.

I start the session with a guided meditation followed

by the 1:1 sound bath and guide you back to the

space where you can relax for a while and rehydrate.

Can you do a group session or Sound Bath?

Yes, I can work with 2 or more people to create a

Sound Bath, which simply means bathing in sound

and vibration.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing technique

using gentle hand motions. I do not generally touch

the body, but use my hands with intention to guide the

flow of healthy energy through the Chakras to reduce

stress and promote self healing. It can help healing

and increase energy, where you can leave a session

both relaxed and energised.

Can I just have Reiki?

Yes, Reiki can be given alone. The session can be

given on a chair, on the floor using a yoga mat or on

a sunbed/daybed etc. All sessions are 1:1 and last for

45-50 minutes.

I start the session with a guided meditation followed

by Reiki working on all Charka energy centres.

What are the costs?

A 1:1 session of Sound Healing or Reiki costs

$70US/185EC.

Group sound baths start at 100USD/260EC and

depend on the number of attendees.

The Tet Paul trail : The trail is located in the Piton Management Area, Saint Lucia’s World Heritage Site. Hiking the trail is like soaring heavenward on a beautiful, natural staircase. The hike is rated easy to moderate and is roughly 45 minutes long.

the Botanical Gardens .These breathtaking gardens are one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean and include the famous waterfall and a huge variety of tropical trees and plants. You can take a soak in the therapeutic mineral baths, built by Napoleon.

the drive-through volcano.

It’s been 400,000 years since volcanic activity occurred here, but the pit that resulted from a collapsed dome of molten lava at the La Soufriere volcano presents a fascinating picture of what the earth must have looked like back then. As you approach the side of the crater, the sulphuris smell of rotten eggs rises up.

the Sulphur Springs you can immerse in the rich mineral water of the mud baths heated by the volcano itself and feel rejuvenated !!

The Mineral Baths : This natural, hot spring is a very relaxing experience. A short hike leads you to a series of baths of varying temperature.

Hiking The Pitons

The Pitons are two volcanic plugs in a World Heritage Site in Saint Lucia. they are linked by the Piton Mitan ridge. Gros Piton is one of two mountains south of the town Soufrière in the southwest of Saint Lucia.

Lying at the southern end of Pitons Bay, it rises to a height of 786 m (2619 ft). It is the second highest peak on Saint Lucia, after Mount Gimie. The mountain was a refuge to the escaped slaves at some point -- the steep slopes made it an easily

defensible position.

“ The hike “

Gros Piton - Wonderful walk with great views up the larger of the twin peaks. Not crowded at all. Very good track, well maintained by the community of Fond Gens Libres. About 120 min to the top. No special gear is needed, just good sneakers and good legs ! Heat stress is possible especially lower slopes in dry season, when trees lose their leaves, You’ll need at least 1.5 liters of water.

From the peak, you can see not only the gorgeous waters of the Caribbean, but a vast portion of the island itself. A Gros Piton hike tour is the only way to see the island from this vantage point, and the experience you will have standing at the top makes it absolutely worthwhile. The Gros Piton trail is one of the most magical hikes in St Lucia and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all those who are willing to make the effort.

When you ‘re back home, we can arrange a nice massage for you in your room !

Tours to the North

You will take the road over the mountain Morne Fortune and have fantastic views over Castries, then drive trough the city and park to visit the local crafts market .

Make a detour to Babonneau to do some thrilling ziplining or enjoy the rainforest from the arial tram.

You head North to Pigeon Island. It is a 40-acre (160,000 m2) islet located in Gros Islet in the northern region of Saint Lucia. Once isolated from the country in the Caribbean Sea, the island was artificially joined to the western coast of mainland in 1972 by a man-made causeway built from dirt excavated to form the Rodney Bay Marina. Composed of two peaks the island is a historic site with numerous forts such as an 18th century British fort and Fort Rodney both used by the British to spy on French Ships from neighbouring Martinique. Today, Pigeon Island is the home and major venue of the Saint Lucia Jazz

In 1778, Admiral George Rodney took over Pigeon island, and built a fort on the smaller of the two peaks. This fort is known as Fort Rodney. To establish clear sightlines, Rodney ordered all trees on Pigeon Island to be cut down. From the higher peak, Signal Hill, Rodney was able to observe the French naval base on Martinique.

There are a lot of different beaches you can go to, depending if you want to have some action or just spend some quite, relaxing time !

Castries City visit

Castries is the capital and largest city of Saint Lucia, It houses the seat of government and the head offices of many of the businesses both foreign and local.

The city's design is in a grid pattern similar to a metropolitan city like New York but on a much smaller scale.

One of the major tourist areas is a port of call for cruise ships. Cruise ships dock at Pointe Seraphine, to the north of the harbour, which is also a duty- free shopping centre. There are also many duty free shops within the town itself and several restaurants and other eating establishments including Burger King, Domino's, and KFC.

Castries has landmarks, such as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Derek Walcott Square (renamed from Columbus Square to honor the island's Nobel Prize-winning poet, Derek Walcott), the City Library, the Government House, and Fort Charlotte, at the top of Morne Fortune (an 845-foot hill).

SCUBA DIVING

Scuba diving in St. Lucia is popular, and for good reasons!

There are a lot of great dive sites in St. Lucia, suitable for different interests and levels.

You can find plenty of dive companies to go with , we even have one in our Bay, that’s called Dive Fair Helen.
