Saint Lucia Information

Lovely Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia is among one of the most picturesque islands in the West Indies. In fact it boasts the highest concentration of volcanic peaks in the region. Saint Lucia is a picture post card perfect island where lush green mountains provide a mythical backdrop to the crystal clear blue lagoons. It is known throughout the Caribbean for its many banana plantations.

A true taste of Caribbean

The major cities are deeply imbedded in historical ties with the French and the English. The neat cobble stone streets, thatched cottages, bungalows and winding streets provides true testament to a colorful and well preserved heritage. Either relax on one of the many beaches or play an innings of Cricket, the aroma of Saint Lucia will continue to relish its visitors with something unique on every corner of the twisting coastal highway. There are two large annual festivals held on the Island in the summer months. The festivities of La Rose and La Marguerite attract a horde of visitors from all around the Caribbean. The Island has an indigenous folk music that can trace its roots to pre-British rule. The famous Jazz festival, held every year, provides a golden opportunity to witness a grand collection of folk music and dance.

What is on offer?

Major attractions on the Island include the Botanical Gardens, Sulpher Springs and natural spots such as the Pigeon National Park as well as the world's only drive-in volcano. Unlike its counterparts, Saint Lucia offers lots of opportunities to visit the natural settings, untouched by mass tourism. A stroll along the beaten path will take visitors to a highly fancied local village where the scent of the 20th century West Indies is still very much intact. The inlets and bays of the Islands are frequently depicted in the many post cards around the world.
