Unlike conventional Caribbean islands, St Lucia has more to offer than pristine white sands and the azure blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean alone.
From lush rainforests to picture-perfect mountain backdrops to Petit Piton’s famed volcanic fangs, whether you choose a leisurely hike or an adrenaline-fuelled zip lining adventure, the island’s dramatic scenery is crying out to be explored.
St Lucia’s tropical wonderland is home to a handful of must-see hotspots, comprising a sugar plantation, picture-perfect beaches, relaxation spas, water sports, Choc Bay, Gros Islet, culture, fine dining, and more.
Perhaps one of St Lucia’s most celebrated landmarks is The Pitons - two mountainous volcanic spires that dramatically jut out from the ocean.
Every buttress and cliff tells a unique story, adding further allure to this island’s characterful charm.
The Caribbean, particularly the island of St Lucia, boasts an array of ideal cocoa-growing conditions – plentiful sunshine, fertile volcanic soil, and the right amount of rainfall – with this in mind, it’s little wonder the area has been a hot spot for chocolate production since the 1700s.
There are many ways for guests to indulge in this local delight, either by eating, drinking, or embracing a cocoa-inspired spa treatment.
From whiling away the hours on one of the island’s many idyllic sandy beaches to basking in the turquoise waters to reviving your body with a volcanic mud bath in the local sulphur springs, this awe-inspiring island boasts the perfect backdrop for a wellness escape.
Many of the beachfront resort and spa hotels, including the famous Ti Kaye Resort Spa, Serenity at Coconut Bay, and the Red lane Spa, are nestled within the island’s lush green canopies and feature outdoor, cliff-side treatment suites with stunning vistas of the surrounding area.
To avoid disappointment, guests should check availability prior to their arrival.
