With over seven thousand islands making up the Caribbean, your head might spin at the thought of choosing just one for your next tropical getaway. Fortunately, if you are looking for a way to get a taste of everything the Caribbean has to offer, St. Lucia has got you covered. Here are just five reasons why we think you will fall in love with St. Lucia – whether it is your first or fiftieth time visiting the Caribbean.
Reason #1: Check Out That View
It is safe to say that St. Lucia has some stunning views. Even though the island seems tiny, you will be blown away by the natural diversity. From steep mountains and lush jungles to pristine beaches and historical sites, the opportunities for adventure and exploration are endless. To ensure you get a glimpse of it all, you may want to consider scheduling a helicopter tour.
Reason #2: You Can Go Laid Back or Full-On Luxury
Regardless of your budget, you can find accommodations that allow you to relax, unwind, and enjoy your time on the island. For a little pampering, you can check out the Marigot Bay Resort and Spa! Not only will you be able to soak up the incredible views that St. Lucia has to offer, but you also can coordinate private excursions or just relax and indulge with one of their on-site spa’s many “luxurious treatments and ancient techniques.”
Reason #3: Unparalleled Romance
St. Lucia has been voted “World’s Leading Honeymoon” destination – nine times – for a reason. Take the guesswork out of planning a destination wedding by letting the island’s extensive list of planers oversee every detail – from the flowers and cake to the perfect island backdrop for your big day. Then spend your honeymoon exploring the beauty and adventure that the island has to offer.
Reason #4: They Make Some Delicious Chocolate
The Rabot Estate is a 140-acre organic cacao farm, most famously known for supplying cacao to Britain’s renowned Hotel Chocolat. You can stay in their 14 private eco-lodges and fill your day with endless amounts of chocolate. We recommend checking out the Tree to Bar Experience! You’ll get to see how the cacao is grown, harvested, and fermented and then how it makes its way from bean to bar. You’ll even get a chance to work with a professional chocolatier to craft your very own chocolate bar. Once you’re done, you can book a Cacao Massage or Facial to wind down after all that hard work.
Reason #5: The Culture and the People!
Because of its extremely diverse history, St. Lucia is a melting pot of different cultures – like Carib, African, English, French, and Dutch. If you plan on traveling in October, you can experience Creole Heritage Month. This month-long celebration of French Creole Heritage is filled with music and other entertainment, lively street parties, seminars, art exhibits, and tons of incredible food!
