St Lucia Holidays

St Lucia Holidays

St Lucia is a small lush tropical gem, a Caribbean paradise blessed with striking mountain scenery and vibrant tropical jungle landscapes, overlooking warm sand beaches that owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea. St Lucia’s steep coastlines and reefs contribute to its reputation as one of the finest snorkelling and scuba diving locations of the Caribbean. The island is still a long way from being sanitised and overdeveloped, bananas are still bigger business than tourism in this archetypal island paradise!

The western shores of St Lucia are a mighty fine place to be from December to March when the rain eases off a bit. Predictably, these are also the busiest months on the island when both the numbers of tourists and the costs of food, airline tickets and accommodation are much higher. After mid-April many of the prices drop as much as 50%. Carnival in July has not yet been overrun by visitors and can be a good way to be thrown head long into St Lucia culture.

Beaches
The best beaches are in the northwest of the island, namely Reduit Beach and the palm-lined coves and bays along the southwest coast, many only accessible by boat.

Sports
One of the island’s newest activities is mountain biking through the rainforest or there are plenty of routes for hiking and horse riding. The turquoise Caribbean waters go hand in hand with superb diving and snorkelling.

Local tastes
You’ll see West Indian and Créole dishes on the menu including Callaloo soup, made from a leafy green, which tastes similar to spinach and pepperpot stew, a tasty mix of pork, beef, grated cinnamon and brown sugar. Oh, and the fresh seafood is excellent.

Evening flavour
In Rodney Bay, there’s an excellent West Indian vibe with a few live music bars, clubs and waterfront restaurants. Nearby, Reduit Beach has calypso nights and beach bars competing for the longest happy hour.

With fantastic deals to all of the hotels on the island we are positive we can find the right holiday experience at the right price for you. We use all of the major charter airlines as well as Virgin Atlantic and British Airways.
