St. Lucia’s rainforest-covered mountains, volcanic landscapes and turquoise waters create one of the Caribbean’s most dramatic settings. The featured resorts extend from the island’s northern and northwestern coast, near Castries and Gros Islet, to the quieter south near Vieux Fort, offering a choice of lively resort areas and more secluded beachfront escapes.

Day trips bring the island’s signature attractions within reach, including the twin Pitons, Soufrière’s sulphur springs, waterfalls and botanical gardens. Visitors can hike, zipline, sail, snorkel or scuba dive, then experience local culture at a street party, fish fry or Creole cooking class.
