The sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about: a small, lush, tropical gem with stunning scenery and fabulous beaches that is still relatively unknown.
"St Lucia’s penchant for a little thrill-seeking is the perfect accompaniment to days spent doing very little on the pristine beaches."
Like an island plucked from the South Pacific and set down in the Caribbean, the naturally-enchanting St Lucia’s many different traditions and cultural treasures are a fascinating mélange of its rich past. The dramatic twin coastal peaks – the Pitons – soar 2000ft up from the sea, sheltering magnificent rainforests where wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of paradise flourish; broken only by verdant fields and orchards of banana, coconut, mango and papaya trees.
