Volcanoes, lush Rain Forests, beautiful white sand beaches, magnificent waterfalls … nope I’m talking about Hawaii! But an Island in the Caribbean! One that is so mystic and amazing that French sailors named her after a woman - St. Lucy. This island is so incredible that the French and British fought over it for years, changing hands between the two countries 7 times. St. Lucia has been an independent nation since 1967 with tourism as the island’s main industry. This sovereign nation of St. Lucia has captured my heart and every one who visits. Enough on the history lesson, lets go there now!
If you are going to St. Lucia you will want to plan to stay at least 6 days. You will have two full travel days one coming and one going so give yourself plenty of time to explore and enjoy the Island. This isn’t one of those destinations where you will want to enjoy your resort the entire time, get out and see what St. Lucia has to offer! The airport is on the South side of the island, while there are some resorts near the airport the most preferable resort areas are 2 hours north. One of our favorite things we do for our clients is to set up a helicopter transfer on their arrival, seeing the island from the air is crazy fun and 12 minutes in the air versus a 2 hour transfer ride through the mountains and hairpin turns - yes please!
St. Lucia has some of the most diverse accommodations of any Caribbean Islands, which is why so many celebrities plan their honeymoons here! You want romantic rooms we got you covered! Check these amazing open air suites at several different resorts that over look the majestic pitons with 360 degree views. Image waking up in your completely private suite with only 3 walls so that anywhere in your suite you have panoramic views even in your shower and private pool! Which suite would you choose?
We can match you with the perfect resort for your style, preference and budget - whether you are looking for an all-inclusive resort for adults only, over -the -water bungalows, piton view open air suites or traditional artisan Caribbean suites - there is truly something for everyone!
St. Lucia is one of those places that touches your soul and no camera can truly capture the intense beauty. But you will try, you will come home with hundreds of pictures in an attempt to relive the images that are now seared in your memory. One of my favorite tours catches several highlights in one day! Enjoy a catamaran tour from the affluent resort area of Rodney Bay and pass by the iconic Pitons to the fishing village of Soufriere. You will then take a shuttle through the town of Soufriere to visit a retired Cocoa plantation for lunch, then on to the drive-in Volcano where you can take a mud bath and dip in a hot spring for a spa experience. Once you feel like a million bucks you will be taken to a huge waterfall to be cooled off in your “power shower” - you have to do this!! Then you will head back down the mountain to board your catamaran and taken to the best snorkeling spot on the island! Oh we aren’t done, the party is just getting started - after snorkeling your crew will open the bar and crank up the music - free flowing rum punch dance party all the way back to Rodney Bay. This is the ultimate St. Lucia experience for a day you will never forget!
Put St. Lucia on your list to visit, the perfect honeymoon destinations or anniversary celebration, you will never regret St. Lucia. Let us get you there!
