Essentials

This page will help you with the little questions we get asked all the time. 


Adults Only

While we love children – Caille Blanc Villa & Hotel is not suitable for guests under the age 13 as we are cliffside.  If you are renting the entire property for your event, accommodations may be made but all guests no matter age, are charged at full adult rates. 

Airport Transfers

We offer transport from both airports and ports.  All transfers should be made at least 24 hours in advance through our concierge App.

App

Yes, there’s an app for that!  Caille Blanc Villa & Hotel uses our own proprietary Concierge App to help our guests book transportation, meals, excursions and more.  Within 30 days of arrival you will get a link to download our free app and code to enter which will give you access to our suggested itineraries and more!  Think of our app as another staff member to help you with your stay!

Arrival

Government Requirements: 

There are no vaccine, testing requirements or health forms to enter St Lucia. You are required to only complete an immigration form 72 hours prior to arrival. More info can be found at stlucia.org

Passports:  St. Lucia requires that all visitors have passports that are valid for their stay.  Certain visitors from countries other than the US, Canada, UK or EU may be required to have a visa to enter.  Please click this link to check this list to see if you’re required to have a visa.

Customs & Immigration: All travelers arriving via air are encouraged to use St. Lucia’s online Immigration Form which can be found here:  https://www.stlucia.org/en/entry/  The form cannot be completed more than 72 hours in advance – and once completed St. Lucia will email you a QR code for scanning by immigration on arrival.  The form asks where you are staying on the island.  Enter Hotel and choose “Caille Blanc Villa, & Hotel Soufriere”.  

Duty: You will most likely not have anything to declare upon entry. If you wish, St. Lucia allows each adult to bring two bottles of alcoholic beverages duty free into the country. To ensure that you have your favorite spirits during your holiday we suggest that you purchase at the departing airport prior to your flight.

Community & Giving

At Caille Blanc Villa & Hotel, we believe that being part of Saint Lucia means sharing in the responsibility of caring for its people, communities, and extraordinary natural environment. We do not add charitable contributions to guest bills or ask our guests to donate during their stay. Instead, Caille Blanc gives directly to local schools, girls’ and boys’ sports programs, cancer charities, and organizations working to create a stronger and more sustainable future for the island. Our support includes the SLHTA Tourism Enhancement Fund, which invests in education, community development, scholarships and environmental initiatives, and the Saint Lucia Marine Health Alliance, dedicated to protecting and restoring the island’s beaches, coral reefs and marine ecosystems. Guests who would personally like to support these efforts are, of course, welcome to do so directly through the organizations.
