Amy Winehouse looking for villa in St Lucia

Amy Winehouse is reported to be looking for holiday home in St Lucia. The singer has been staying on the island since last year in an attempt to beat her drug addictions.

Winehouse was spotted house hunting with her father, Mitch, over the weekend, according to The Sun. Once she has found a Caribbean base, she plans to split the time between her villa in St Lucia and London.

A source told the paper: "Mitch and Amy have been looking at property while he has been in St Lucia. They saw a few potential places this weekend. Amy loves it over there and being away from it all has helped her hugely in her fight against drugs...[she's] a million times better than she was in Camden."

The St Lucia base will not be the 25 year old singer's only home. She is reported to have recently agreed to rent another new home in the North London suburb of Hadley Wood. A member of the local Women's Institute told the paper: "It's a nice, quiet area. Country walks will do her good."

Winehouse's family are keen to support her in her house hunting, the source added: "Her family think the best way to keep her out of trouble is to have a house in the suburbs and a place in the Caribbean where she can totally get away."
