This small island is home to myriad attractions for its lucky visitors to experience. That’s why for many it epitomises the perfect holiday destination: world-class beaches and coastline, exceptional natural wonders, authentic culture and a superb selection of hotels and resorts.

Dominated by the UNESCO World Heritage Pitons, much of St Lucia is covered in rainforest and plantations, and scattered with waterfalls and natural springs. The bays and harbours feature pretty towns and villages where colourful markets and Caribbean ‘fish fry’ entice. Take a trip through the world’s only drive-thru volcano, discover the wonder of a cocoa plantation or feel the thrill of zip-lining through the jungle.

Along the coast the dreamy scenes continue. The reefs are a paradise for divers, the sands like sugar and the waters clear and inviting. Beach barbecues and live music keep the buzz going past sunset, when stargazing under the night sky ends each perfect day.
