About the district of

Canaries

Originally a quiet fishing village, it has gone on to become one of the more popular tourist destinations in the country. Gros Islet is not only the name of one of the island’s better known villages but also refers to one of the eleven quarters.

One of the island’s smallest and quietest districts, Canaries sits between Anse La Raye and Soufrière on the west coast and has largely stayed outside the tourism circuit that defines its neighbors. It’s genuinely rural and mountainous, appealing to a specific kind of buyer chasing seclusion, dramatic hillside views, and a real escape from anything resembling a resort town. Infrastructure and available inventory are both limited compared to the northern districts, so this tends to be a district for buyers building rather than browsing an existing market.
