Did you know?
Saint Lucia offers visitors diverse accommodations, unique activities and exciting dining experiences. Hidden gem
Spend at least a couple of evenings trying one of the many world- class restaurants on the island. Take a ferry across the picturesque secluded lagoon of Marigot Bay to reach the Rainforest Hideaway and experience the delights of Caribbean fine dining.
Saint Lucia shimmers like an exquisite emerald gem in the cerulean clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. Known as “the Helen of the West Indies”, the picturesque isle is known for its charm and magnificent topography; the majestic twin peaks, lush rainforests and beautiful palm-fringed beaches. The stunning beauty, diverse accommodation and abundance of activities make it the ultimate paradise destination.
Saint Lucia is one of the
Windward Islands and is a deep melting pot of culture and history forged from Europe, Africa and the ancient Caribbean. Originally home to Arawak Indians and Caribs, the island changed hands fourteen times between the British and the French before
becoming part of the British Commonwealth in 1814 and achieving independence in 1979.
The island offers straight from nature experiences whether travellers are looking for adrenaline-fuelled adventure, cultural tours, zen-like relaxation, family fun or romance. With nothing between you and nature, soar over lush rainforests and tropical wildlife on an exhilarating zip-wire, scuba dive with exotic fish in warm clear waters; explore the remains of prehistoric volcanoes at the Sulphur Springs and the Diamond Waterfalls in Soufriere; gratify your inner pirate on a sunset catamaran cruise around the island; and surrender to spa heaven and its feather fingered masseuse. Come, live the legend.
