St Lucia

Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, St. Lucia is a stunning island paradise known for its iconic twin peaks, the Pitons and lush rainforests teeming with exotic wildlife.

Saint Lucia, shaped like a mango or avocado, is washed by the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Caribbean Sea to the West, with its own active volcano, fruit plantations, hot thermal springs, mineral waterfalls, and untouched tropical forests.

St. Lucia’s natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring. It has virtually no industry, and the tiny fishing villages have preserved an almost untouched charm. But the island's greatest treasure is its unique mountain ranges, crowned by the iconic twin peaks of the Pitons, true green giants at the base of which the Caribbean Sea sparkles.

Here, you can hike to the summit of the Pitons, cycle through the jungle and bathe in a mineral waterfall, visit Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens, the Sulphur Springs, the world’s only drive-in volcano or tour a real cocoa plantation.

The population of the island is a fascinating mix of British, French, African, and Native American heritage, which is reflected in the language, food, and lifestyle of Saint Lucians. No wander the gastronomy in St. Lucia is a feast for the senses. To immerse in the local island life, you must attend the Creole street dances on Friday night in Gros Islet and visit the fishing village of Anse La Raye, where you can enjoy fresh fish barbecue in a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere to the sounds of zouk and calypso music.
