St Lucia Holidays

The truly tropical island of St Lucia is a perfect holiday destination for all. Couples will romance in the beauty of the glorious sunsets, pristine beaches and lush surroundings. Families will revel in the abundance of exploring fun that can be had – from jeep safaris around the island’s interior to making a splash below the numerous waterfalls.

The best way to explore the island is to take a guided tour from Rodney Bay marina in the north. From the marina, you will travel by boat along the west coast of St Lucia, passing the most popular beach hotels on your journey south. The first highlight of any St Lucia tour is a stop at the hidden Marigot Bay, a hideout for the pirates of the Caribbean and location of the Rex Harrison film Doctor Dolittle. Don your snorkel masks and enjoy the sparkling, clear waters of the shore before pausing for a while with a long drink at one of the beach bars and photo opportunities among the swaying palms.

Set sail for Soufriere. But not before reliving past times at the Roseau Valley rum distillery. Once moored at the French colonial town of Soufriere, climb the steep hills by bus to the bubbling Sulphur Springs, the world’s only drive-through volcano...(Continued below)

Not for the feint-hearted, a hike amongst the Piton mountains is a must. The reward of a two-hour trek to the peaks are marvellous views of neighbouring St Vincent and Martinique.

With an island tour near it’s completion, all that is left is a return journey by boat along the west coast, often accompanied by rainbow skies from the wet interior climate and a short ride back to your chosen St Lucia holiday hotel, a quick dip in the pool before a magical night of friendly, attentive service while you dine under the stars.

Nearly all of the hotels that we feature in St Lucia offer special wedding packages, please ask us for details.
