Morning light slices between the twin peaks of the Pitons as the van winds down Saint Lucia’s West Coast Road toward Soufrière. Guests step from an air-conditioned vehicle onto warm sand with Gros Piton looming like a dark shoulder across the bay; the sea smells faintly of salt and the earth hints at sulfur from the nearby geothermal springs.
