Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens & Mineral Baths

Parks & Nature · Soufrière District, Saint Lucia

A six-acre private garden in the Soufrière valley where a mineral-stained waterfall tumbles down a rock face streaked ochre and grey. Paths wind through tropical plantings busy with hummingbirds, and restored 18th-century baths fed by warm volcanic springs are open for a soak. The estate traces its history to a 1713 land grant from King Louis XIV.
