Golden sweeps of sand, emerald rainforests and film-set scenery – everything you’d want from the Caribbean can be found on a holiday to St Lucia.
Beaches and beyond
This unspoilt corner of the Caribbean is so much more than a beach retreat. You’ve got a dramatic mountainous landscape that begs to be explored, lush rainforests to get lost in and rare wildlife species to spot. Head inland to find sparkling waterfalls surrounded by botanic gardens and an actual drive-in volcano. Road trip, anyone?
Culture mash-up
West African and European influences have given St Lucia its distinct character. In the north you’ll find upmarket malls and modern marinas backed by seafront restaurants. Head south to find candy-coloured houses, barbecue stalls by the roadside and fish fry-ups on the beach.
