Balenbouche Estate
Balenbouche Estate is a magical place , a world in itself . The beautiful and expansive historic grounds include a 180-year old plantation house , 18th century sugar mill , fruit orchards , pastures , lily ponds , nature trails and secluded beaches . Over the years , the owners and caretakers , Uta Lawaetz and her two daughters , gradually and thoughtfully transformed the estate from a struggling farm to a well known but intimate family run plantation guesthouse , heritage site and and organic farm . Carefully placed within this stunning and authentic backdrop are five eco-chic guest cottages created from traditional structures , each with its own unique design and appeal .
The personal , family atmosphere , delicious healthy meals and focus on wellness and sustainability , as well as relative proximity to many local attractions have made Balenbouche Estate a popular venue for independent travelers as well as retreats and weddings .
Yoga classes and workshops take place in the old cotton barn , or under one of the ancient banyan and mango trees . A team of local and international therapists offers a wide range of services and activities designed to nurture the mind , body and spirit .
