About Us

Welcome to La Panache

Hi! I’m Dirk, the manager of La Panache Guesthouse. After traveling twice to beautiful St. Lucia and staying at La Panache myself, I fell in love with the property and the island. Following a two-year renovation, the guesthouse reopened in 2020 under its traditional name. I’m passionate about St. Lucia and its activities, especially the world-class kitesurfing conditions just a few minutes from our door. My goal is to make sure every guest has an equally wonderful experience in this Caribbean paradise.

Dirk, owner and manager of La Panache Guesthouse in Gros Islet, St. Lucia

Where to find us

La Panache Guesthouse is on a hill above Gros Islet, in the north of St. Lucia. We’re walking distance to Rodney Bay Marina, many restaurants, and the famous Friday night Jump-Up street party. From La Panache it’s a short drive to Cas en Bas (kitesurfing), Pigeon Island National Park, and the rest of St. Lucia’s northern attractions.
