Stonefield Estate Villa Resort, one of the
loveliest locales on the island of St Lucia, bears the
distinction of having captured the imagination of the island’s
earliest known inhabitants, the Arawaks. These Amerindian
people, as early as 350 A.D. were so impressed by the verdant
tropical landscape and its auspicious positioning near the
imposing Petit Piton that they recorded their impressions on a
stone tablet which can still be seen at Stonefield Estate today.
Stonefield Estate Villa Resort’s appeal has
only increased over time. In fact this coveted patch
of earth has continued to inspire many, from those who work the
land, to those who seek the muse or those who rest a while to
absorb its moving serenity.
Stonefield’s more recent history includes
its incarnation as a prosperous agricultural estate producing
the much desired cocoa and lime oil that were driving forces of
colonial plantation economies. In 1972 the Brown family
acquired the land and Canadian engineer Wayne Brown and his St
Lucian wife Anista began to envision a retreat that would
eventually become a pied-à-terre for visitors from the world
over.
Elegantly rustic villas ensconced in a lush
tropical hillside afford visitors a chance to relax, luxuriate
and rejuvenate. Stonefield Estate Villa Resort continues a
1600-year old reputation as one of the most desirable
destinations for the discerning Caribbean traveller.
