St. Lucia

What better setting for a honeymoon or romantic holiday than the beautiful island of St Lucia?

There are innumerable typically Caribbean beaches – golden sands fringed with palms – and the spectacular beauty of the volcanic Pitons rising dramatically from the sea and the lush green tropical rain forest of the interior.

The beaches are stunning, and coral reefs abound in crystal clear waters, with many protected in marine reserves.

The island is just 27 miles by 14 miles, so it is possible to explore many parts during a holiday stay. If you can tear yourself away from the beach, take a trip to Castries and visit the local market. Head inland and discover the beauty of the rainforest, plantations and botanical gardens.

The choice of hotels in St Lucia is exceptional, ranging from larger resorts with amenities to small, intimate hideaways. You may even choose a two-centre holiday to make the most of the island by combining hotels in different parts of the island, such as East Winds on the beach with Ladera in the hills. We can advise on the style of hotel and location which will most closely match your tastes.
