Soufriere Holidays

In Soufriere, you can saunter along strips of white and yellow buildings and even grander natural architecture. This laidback 'burg's your chance to experience every shade of St Lucia, from blue ocean depths to cloudy mountain heights.

The local shore may be rocky, but there are plenty of places to relax. The Piton Mountains, leading to the New Jerusalem mineral baths, boast scenic views and bubbling hot springs. Alternatively, tour through the local flora at popular Diamond Falls Botanic Gardens. For shore-lovers, a white-sand beach at Jalousie is only a 30-minute drive away.

Soufriere proves nature's not just to be looked at. Embark on a mountain hike up the famous Pitons or take in their lofty faces from the local marina. For low-altitude thrills, you can take your pick of scuba diving trips to the reef and beach-hopping boat tours.

St Lucia's got it all for the good food hunter. See the process of chocolate-making at work at Fond Doux Plantation, while Zion Lion Farm specialises in farm-to-beachside-table meals. The organic veg-filled farm's only accessible by foot or boat, so wear your comfies and get ready to hike.
