At Hippo Hideaway, you get the opportunity to just ‘be’.

But not just anywhere, that is. Just ‘being’ in St Lucia is a spectacular experience.

Hippo Hideaway is a luxury, self-catering resort. The chalets are beautifully appointed and decorated, giving you the luxury of a hotel with the convenience and privacy of self-catering chalet, with a breakfast option.

The proliferation of animal, bird and plant life is awe-inspiring. You will leave with no doubts as to why the St Lucia Wetlands have been declared a world heritage site. It’s a natural paradise.

With a sparkling pool, loungey hammocks, braai (barbeque) facilities, and individual outdoor furniture for each chalet, it’s hard to leave the Hideaway sometimes. Location is everything; and the entrance to Hippo Hideaway is on the main road of shops and restaurants in St Lucia, while the end of the property rests straight onto the St Lucia estuary. You might have some visitors in the form of the hippos ambling onto the Hideaway lawns at night for a munch.

St Lucia is just a part of the geographic wonder of the surrounding area. You can explore the unspoilt, expansive Elephant Coast beaches, catch up with the Big Five at the famous Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve or revel in the unsurpassed fishing, birding, whale watching and walking opportunities.

Hippo Hideaway is in the middle of it all; offering you the perfect place from which to explore. And then when you are tired of exploring, the perfect place from which to relax.

There are 21 luxury, air-conditioned chalets consisting of 2 and 4 sleeper chalets and a honeymoon suite. Click here for Resort Details.
