3 reasons to visit St Lucia in 2016
The island of St Lucia is one of the Caribbean’s most dramatic islands. With lush tropical rainforests, the iconic Pitons towering out of the water and a diversity of activities available, guests of all ages can get exploring and experiencing the beauty of St Lucia. For adrenaline adventure-seeking families, couples looking for romance or those wanting to lie back on the beach and relax, St Lucia appeals to everyone.
Natural beauty
The island of St Lucia is renowned for its dramatic landscape of volcanic peaks, tropical greenery and dark sand beaches. The landscape of the island offers diversity from the north to the south with the north offering more beaches and harbours while the south is dominated by the magnificent Pitons with tropical rainforests clustering around their foothills. For a unique holiday experience, we recommend having a twin centre holiday allowing you to experience both the north and the south of the island.

Given its natural beauty coupled with its dramatic landscape, the island of St Lucia offers an abundance of activities providing days of adventure. Guests can hike the Pitons, walk the Tet Paul Nature trail, visit the world’s only drive through volcano, zip line among the tree canopy, explore the island’s marine reserve or hike through the tropical rainforests. These activities will give all types and ages of travellers unique holiday experiences to remember.
Accommodation choices
Whether you choose one of the boutique, quaint cottages of East Winds, a luxurious villa with a private pool at Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, an open ended suite at Jade Mountain Resort or a unique lodge at Boucan By Hotel Chocolat – St Lucia has it all. So if you are a couple searching for an intimate retreat with sunset cruises, a foodie seeking a new culinary experience, a dedicated holiday spa goer looking for that special, relaxing moment or a family keen for a private villa with ample space, the island of St Lucia will fulfil your holiday wishes.

We’re so excited to visit St. Lucia! We have about a week to explore the island in April, then we are chartering a few catamarans with friends and sailing from St. Lucia to St. Vincent & The Grenadines, then spending a week in Grenada!
St. Lucia looks like a dream with clear, warm waters, lovely resorts, restaurants with great reviews (and Views!), hiking, SCUBA, snorkeling and sailing!
I just returned from St Lucia. Hotel Chocolat was fabulous. Agnes at the spa gave me a delightful exfoliation massage with chocolate nibs then wrapped me in chocolate, banana leaf and plastic. I felt like a chocolate bar :-) The facial was great.
I tried on a sailboat for the day with mystic man tours. It was relaxing and chill. Would repeat all.
Just returned. Amazing place. Zip-lining through the rain-forest canopy was the Most. Fun. Ever! At Treetop Adventure Park, the young guides make the experience so much fun. Their enthusiasm and willingness to get you past the initial fear is such a plus! Don’t miss a great opportunity!
Love St Lucia and the volcanic mud bath, waterfalls, pitons, beaches and people! What a great place to Enjoy Vacationing!
