Overview
Luxury St. Lucia holidays
St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about – a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown.
One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is situated between Martinique and St. Vincent and north of Barbados. The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.

More about St.Lucia
In natural beauty, St. Lucia seems like an island plucked from the South Pacific and set down in the Caribbean. Its dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet up from the sea, sheltering magnificent rainforests where wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of paradise flourish. The rainforest is broken only by verdant fields and orchards of banana, coconut, mango and papaya trees. St. Lucia has been inhabited since long before colonial times and its cultural treasures are a fascinating melange of its rich past and its many different traditions, with the island’s people earning a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm.
