St. Lucia Villa Rental - St Lucia Jazz 2010 vacation at St Lucia’s Luxurious Villa Rental

The 2010 Jazz festival in St Lucia promises to as exciting as ever and staying at the most luxurious villa is the ultimate experience. The island is sparing no effort to attract some of the best talent in the music industry. I have pulled together the various sites to check out to help you decide which events you want to attend – enjoy the experience. A Grammy festival would be a better title for the event as it includes no less than 5 award winners.

During the festival the villa rentals tend to get booked early so check out the local accommodation before it’s too late. Check out the best villa rental on the island: http://www.stlucia.cc.

The top artists who have a Grammy include:

Toni Braxton. Check out her web site for a flavour of her great sound: www.tonibraxton.com
Her hits include – You’re making me high, Un-break my heart, Yesterday.

Shaggy who has been around forever and whose silky smooth voice is being used on some GPS systems!! But we know it wasn’t him. Check out this site: www.shaggyonline.com

Ne-Yo, is a great male vocalist. Check out www.macys.com/ne-yo his song “Heroes” which is available for free download.

Corinne Bailey Rae – Her new album is out now. Check her tour out on: www.corinnebaileyrae.net

Steel Pluse a band that like to raise the roof is planning to wake your senses – www.steelpulse.com

Most of the top artists will be able to see Akasha villa rental from back stage at Pigeon Island. We are sure they would be impressed if they rented our villa. So if you fancy renting a villa overlooking the stage you may want to think about renting Akasha the luxury villa rental.

In addition there are many other top class artists. These include: Laura Izibor, a self taught musician born to Irish mother and Nigerian father who has won the Meteor Music award. Check out her sound: www.lauraizibor.com

No doubt the artists will be booking in to the best villa – so if you want to rent a villa before the artists the take a look at www.stlucia.cc there is nothing better on the island.

Choosing a villa in St Lucia can be difficult – most of the villas tend to be traditional and not offer the kind of facilities most modern travellers expect. Akasha has features that no other villa rental has. We have a dedicated air conditioned home theater for 9 people to relax in reclining leather chairs to watch the jazz on a 110 inch screen if you don’t fancy trekking to the event(s).

Our St Lucia villa rental is less than 5 minutes from Pigeon Island and the Gaiety theater where most of these top artists will be performing. When you are done there the main restaurants and bars are only a 5 minute ride away from our villa rental.

Akasha – St Lucia villa rental is well positioned to access the main events of the St Lucia Jazz festival. This year the main artist currently scheduled to appear is Amy Winehouse. Check out her web site: www.amywinehouse.co.uk Amy recently spent several months in St Lucia staying for most of the time at Le Sport which is over looked by Akasha – St Lucia villa rental. From the balconies you could see the artist on the beach and relaxing on the top of Oasis where topless bathing is permitted.

Amy Winehouse will perform on Friday May 8. It is rumoured that this year’s St Lucia Jazz will cost St Lucia approximately five million dollars which is a significant investment in the current economic climate.
The 2009 St Lucia Jazz festival will open on May 2 and events will held all over the island commencing at Fond d’or followed by shows in Laborie, Soufriere in the south and in the north at Gros Islet Friday street party and Anse La Raye fish fry and around Castries.
The main event, however, will be between May 7th and 10th on Pigeon Island. The national landmark is just down the road from Akasha – St Lucia villa rental. It is clearly visible from Akasha – St Lucia Exclusive villa rental. You can see the stage and if the wind is blowing in the correct direction you can even hear it.
While Akasha – St Lucia villa rental, will not actually host the festival, with all its integrated music systems you can have your own ‘festival’ playing your own music or the thousands of tracks stored on the music server or by listening to your favourite tunes from the internet radio – the choice is yours when you rent Akasha – St Lucia villa rental.
