Piton Falls in Belle Vue, St. Lucia

Monday, March 30, 2026View original

In the shadow of Petit Piton on the road to the famed Sugar Beach, is a short path through the rainforest to a small waterfall. Rather than the usual stream making its way to the sea, the base of this waterfall has been converted into a spa.

Three man-made pools collect the water before it continues its journey. What makes this water here special is that it has journeyed from further inland, where it was heated by the geothermal action of the dormant volcano.

Visitors can stand under the falls and soak in the warm water for as long as they like for a small fee. The water in the falls is warmest (similar to a warm shower), with the pools further from the falls significantly cooler.
