Saint Lucia is the perfect tonic for anyone needing to escape the everyday humdrum of normality and experience a destination that epitomizes the very essence of a tropical hideaway. Take the stunning natural scenery with near perfect weather, mix it with total relaxation and sprinkled with lots of fun and this would be the perfect overview of this great destination. It’s bursting with sandy beaches amidst a backdrop of rugged mountains and lush rainforests.
The majority of the popular holiday resorts and hotels are located on the island’s north-west shore with its sheltered white sand beaches and quaint fishing villages, but on the west coast of St Lucia you’ll find some amazing luxury hotels tucked away in awe-inspiring settings with fabulous views of the iconic Pitons. The relatively uninhabited east coast, the Atlantic side of the island, is good for nature lovers and the southern tip of the island is popular for kite surfing and windsurfing. Castries is the bustling capital and is a busy harbour port town that boasts lots of colorful markets and some stunning hotels whilst Vieux Fort is named after the old fortress that watched over St. Vincent many years prior.
