Das Eigentum — Cuddle Inn
The Cuddle Inn is a friendly, no-fuss three-star right on Laborie Bay. The lobby feels like a sun-washed beach shack: rattan sofas, a small bar, and the constant sound of waves through open windows. Its USP is the location – you can walk from your room onto the sand in under a minute. It suits travellers who want a quiet, local seaside base without resort prices or frills.
Chroniken von Laborie
Laborie was founded in the 18th century as a French fishing village, later taken over by the British. Its architecture is a mix of pastel Creole cottages and a Catholic church built from local stone in the 1900s. The town kept its fishing roots; the harbour still fills with pirogues at dawn. Today, it’s known for its weekly fish fry, lively rum shops, and a community that has resisted mass tourism.
