About.
Balenbouche Estate has been described as a magical place, a world in itself, a life changing experience, and a journey back in time. For over 20 years, our secluded
60 acre property has brought people together to reconnect with each other, with
nature, and with the spiritual world – but most of all, with
themselves. Balenbouche is a
popular place for retreats, events, workshops, team building and work exchanges. Past and current events include Art and Photography,
Archeology, Culture and History, Sustainable living, and Wellness focusing on Detox, Nutrition, Mind/Body healing, Yoga and
Fitness. We can accommodate between 8 and 14 guests in 5 private cottages. We welcome individual travelers, groups, couples and families! Our guest volunteer program and work exchanges are offered from April to December. Balenbouche is located in the South of St. Lucia, 20 min from the UVF International airport and 30 minfrom the town of Soufriere, near many of the islands best attractions.
