St. Lucia is a very small island with very large appeal. Not yet overrun by development and the ensuing tourists-- but sure to be once the word really gets out-- St. Lucia is the perfect spot to have a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat alone, or a relaxing vacation with your family... amidst the backdrop of some of the most lush and awe inspiring natural beauty in the Caribbean. Rare species of exotic plants and animals make this emerald jewel their home, and St. Lucia is overflowing with the blooms, the flutter of birds' wings as well as their many-hued feathers and the trill of their songs.
St. Lucia's many and varied beaches are equally enticing. Golden sands spill into bright blue seas, powdered-sugar white shores are edged by azure waters, dark sands contrast with sharply with cerulean waves. Tuck yourself into one of St. Lucia's secret coves and sit in awe of the splendor of her beauty.
This small island is also diverse-- if you want luxury accommodations and bar-lined beaches, you can find them in St. Lucia. The strong culinary scene is also a delightful surprise to some visitors. On St. Lucia, you'll find some spectacular creole spots-- offering the cuisine that reflects the island's diverse historical influences-- as well as some tempting French restaurants.
St. Lucia is also lined with crumbling-- and fascinating-- remnants of New World history. Walk the grounds of former plantations and explore aged colonial forts.
What you won't find on St. Lucia, however, is the abundance of luxury shopping, pulsating night life, and glitzy casinos that are the trademark of some other Caribbean destinations. St. Lucia is different, more stately perhaps... and it's what keeps us dreaming of her long after we're gone.
