Saint Lucia
A Green Island in a Sea of Blue
With green-clad peaks rising from clear, sun-dappled waters, Saint Lucia is an island of spectacular natural beauty. Tucked into beachfront palm groves and perched on panoramic hillsides are some of the Caribbean's most storied resorts. Here, private terraces open to sweeping mountains and ocean views, and guests can luxuriate in personal plunge pools, indulge in pampering spa services, savor exceptional cuisines and sample fine wines and rums while taking in sunsets over the water. For the active-minded, there are colorful reefs to explore, mountains to hike, forest trails to bike and waterfalls to discover. Pristine beaches are just a paddle or a sail away, and whales and dolphin await in open water. Equally rewarding are immersions in the island's culture, where visitors can discover the secrets of artisanal chocolate making, barter for handicrafts and spices at local markets or join the party at a beachfront fish fry. With direct flights from five North American cities and one-hop connections from dozens more, Saint Lucia is as easy to reach as it is relaxing upon arrival.
