St. Lucia

St. Lucia

Miraculously mountainous for its size, St. Lucia is a volcanic island.  It is a beautiful backdrop of ridge-lined ranges, blanketed in a canopy of lush green that gives it a much softer feel.

The steep, tall-reaching nature of St. Lucia’s landscape makes it the perfect backdrop for your vacation getaway or romantic honeymoon. 

Picture-Perfect Caribbean Vacation

Imagine opening your eyes to the sunrise just outside your window. Beyond your private infinity pool you view the stunning, precipitous green hillsides. These mountains seem like they start in the clouds and plunge into the ocean.  As you lay in bed your only care in the world is if you’ll have a beach day, or eventually get out and explore a bit. BUT is that even a true worry at this point?

The Mountains Are the Way

Given the sheer beauty and distinct volcanic landscape of St. Lucia, it is no surprise that many of its attractions and activities are centered around this.  St. Lucia has hiking trails that will take you to some of the most remote and breathtaking views the Caribbean has to offer.  Complete with sprawling vista views and hidden waterfall-fed swimming holes.

You can also take zip line tours through the rainforest canopy, or opt for a more laid-back stroll to Pigeon Island National Park.  Walking the historic ruin grounds of Fort Rodney, you can take in the awesome views of the Carib Caves and Signal Peak.

Time To Get Muddy?

Not one for walking all over? Not to worry.  One of St. Lucia’s most popular attractions, and not surprisingly considering the Caribbean island’s topography, is a trip to an active volcanic site. AND they’ll drive you right up to it!

St. Lucia’s, Sulphur Springs, dubbed “The World’s Only Drip-Up Volcano,” offers vacationers an up-close experience of volcanic activity.  Take the tour or walk the park yourself, where you can, not only see but, feel the heat and energy.  Be sure to bring your suit with you so you can take a dip in one of the naturally heated mud baths.

And All That Jazz

One event St. Lucia offers makes it stand out from other Caribbean destinations though. Every May St. Lucia hosts its very own St. Lucia Jazz Festival.  The festival offers workshops, masterclasses, collaborations, and performances from famous musicians and top local talent. The St. Lucia Jazz Festival is a must for any music-loving Caribbean vacationers out there.

The Full Caribbean Experience

St. Lucia’s beautiful and temperate climate, like so much of the Caribbean, makes it a pleasure to visit almost any time of year.  There are the typical Caribbean island vacation draws. Like sunny beautiful white-sand beaches with crystal clear waters and tropical drinks.  Throw in a yearly live music festival, natural thermal baths, luxurious all-inclusive resorts with romantic overwater bungalows, overwater destination wedding chapels, and you have yourself one heck of a Caribbean vacation or honeymoon experience!
