St. Lucia

St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.

St Lucia’s most famous landmark are the Pitons, twin pointed volcanic peaks that soar 2,000 feet up from the sea, on the island’s southwest coast. Imagine the crystal clear, warm waters. Picture the fine white sand beaches, lined with gently swaying palms. Where better to go windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing or just chill out on the beach than St Lucia?
