Saint Lucia

Set against the stunning backdrop of Les Pitons, the twin peaks which rise dramatically out of the ocean in the south, Saint Lucia is an island of breathtaking contrasts which truly epitomises a Caribbean paradise. Volcanic mountains and sun-bleached boats bobbing in the harbour are just some of the mellow scenes that stunning Saint Lucia has to offer. Arguably the wedding capital of the Caribbean because of its beautiful landscapes, this is a destination for romance.


Picture perfect

Beaches, lush forests, crystal clearwaters and volcanoes – you’re right in thinking variety is the spice of life on the island of Saint Lucia. With a lively undercurrent, this beautiful island offers plenty of resorts alongside its quieter retreats dotting the scenic coastline. A trip to the town of Soufriere isn’t to be missed while visiting Saint Lucia. There you can see the striking colours of the Diamond Falls and the magnificent rainforest spanning 19,000 acres.



Life’s a beach

A water-lover’s paradise, Saint Lucia boasts an almost unbroken wall of coral reef, perfect for some underwater exploration. The island can be navigated by boat in less than a day, while a pleasant evening may be spent admiring the hundreds of yachts bobbing in the Saint Lucian harbours, awaiting their next voyage. Brimming with well-maintained and gloriously restored architecture, Saint Lucia's rich history and reputation as the heralded gateway to the Caribbean, is played out along its narrow streets and impressive façades.


Nightlife

Every May Saint Lucia is serenaded by the annual Jazz Festival. Live music and shows take place across the island as artists from all over the world come to play at this world- famous event. Most of the island’s nightlife centres around Rodney Bay with its bars and restaurants, which serve a range of different cuisines.
