St. Lucia

Lush rainforests, undulating agricultural land and unspoilt beaches make this volcanic island a Caribbean vacation paradise...

St. Lucia is located in the middle of the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands and is approximately 21 miles south of Martinique and 90 miles northwest of Barbados.

There is indeed a lot on offer on the island: excellent beaches, mountain scenery, the Qualibou Volcano and its boiling sulphur springs, orchids and exotic plants, and tropical flower-lined roadsides. It is also one of the world’s breeziest places, where the trade winds blow in from the sea to the southern shore.

There is still considerable British and French influence felt on the island.
