The island of St Lucia also called island in the sun, is a perfectly sized, simply beautiful country with picturesque visions of pure tranquility located towards the centre of the Caribbean chain. It is 238 sq. miles, 27 miles long and 14 miles wide.
The Island is of volcanic origin which has its benefits. One of those benefits is the St Lucia Pitons.
The Pitons are majestic twin peaks called Gros Piton (797m) and Petit Piton (750m) which soars from the sea. These twin peaks are the only two of its kind in the world and are a World Heritage UNESCO site.
St Lucia also provides visitors with an opportunity to visit the only drive-in-volcano in the world and bathe in the therapeutic sulphur springs, mineral baths, beautiful cascading waterfalls and unspoiled beaches are located all over the island. You can even climb (supervised) one of Pitons!
St Lucia is also known for its botanical flower gardens depicting all the tropical flowers and lush vegetation you can think of. A day at anyone of these will have you coming back to the island of St Lucia year after year; or even sooner.
Whether it’s reading on a beach, getting active and adventurous or sampling the cuisine, you’ll find it in St Lucia.
