Dreamlike in its unspoiled beauty, St. Lucia is a lush tropical gem that is still relatively undiscovered. Only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, is distinguished by the Pitons, a pair of extinct volcanoes that tower over its southwestern coast. The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty St. Lucia to the calm Caribbean. Deep in St. Lucia’s mountainous interior lie 19,000 acres of lush tropical rainforest, where you can hike and glimpse wild parrots, orchids and other exotic flora and fauna. You are sure to be charmed by St. Lucia’s exotic blend of English, French and Caribbean cultures. Like the British, St Lucians drive on the left and have a passion for cricket. And while English is the island’s official language, many of the locals speak in a lilting French patois. Much to your delight, you will discover it’s Caribbean influence in the spicy Creole cuisine and locally brewed beers; in the music, an eclectic mix of calypso, soca and reggae; in the carnivals and festivals such as St. Lucia Jazz; and in the open-air markets. A vacation in St. Lucia will be etched in your memory forever.
