Overview

Saint Lucia

Located in the middle of Martinique, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, nicknamed "Helen of the West Indies" is an old British colony which was home to the Arawaks, the Carib Indians and which has been independent since 1979. Whether as a stopover during a cruise or as a holiday destination, Saint Lucia will charm you either way. Its volcanic landscape, heavenly beaches, fishing villages and luxury hotels are its main assets.

pros

  •  The beaches and mountain landscapes are really superb.
  •  Quaint and luxury hotels seamlessly blend into the surrounding scenery.

cons

  •  It is the stopover for quite a lot of cruise passengers.
  •  Ste-Lucie is a destination that is rarely mentioned in the brochures of British tour-operators and the offers are quite limited if you're after an all-inclusive deal.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

A visit to Saint Lucia can be the purpose of a holiday in itself, or it can be combined with a stay in Martinique, which is located a mere 20 miles away.
On Saturdays, Castries's daily market is a lot more picturesque than on week days. The atmosphere is a lot more party-orientated in Saint Lucia than in Martinique and the village of Gros Ilet, for example, has a party every Friday night.
Do not miss the carnival, in early July, the great local celebration, and, although a completely different sort of entertainment, the International Jazz Festival in May. The latter hosts some great musicians; for you to get an idea of who they are: the Neville Brothers, George Benson and some other stars have already played there.
Lastly, why not opt for a day long cruise aboard a catamaran to discover the island from the sea, have a picnic on a beach that is normally inaccessible from within the island and take a break for a bit of snorkelling.
