It doesn’t take long to get comfortable with the island of St. Lucia. With its alluring tropical views, pristine beaches and peaceful rain forests, it’s a match made in heaven for those seeking refuge from their hectic lives.
Situated to the south of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles, this island is a place you can lose yourself – even though it has just one main road that winds sinuously along most of the island’s perimeter. A visitor’s initial introduction
to St. Lucia – just 27 miles long and 14 miles at its widest – is certain to be punctuated by stunning ocean views.
Romance blossoms here as surely as the orchids for wistful couples, but this isn’t a place just for couples. St. Lucia features a variety of accommodations, from large resorts with beachfront views to small, quiet inns and hilltop villas offering spectacular panoramic vistas of forested mountains and the sparkling sea below. European-style health spas make a big splash on this small island. There are several to choose from, all featuring tranquil surroundings and the latest techniques for pampering discriminating guests.
Standing guard over the picturesque 18th century French town and popular port of Soufriere are St. Lucia’s majestic twin peaks, The Pitons. Rising straight out of the emerald sea to more than 2,400 feet, The Pitons form an unmistakable landmark from any vantage point. Scenic Anse des Pitons, a crescent beach snuggled between the Pitons, offers crystal clear waters for swimming, snorkeling and diving.
The surrounding lowlands and valleys have, over time, been developed into rich plantations where sugarcane, bananas, plantain, breadfruit, coconuts, mangos and papayas flourish. Nearly 19,000 acres of land in St. Lucia are protected by the St. Lucia National Rain Forest. Here exotic wildlife, giant ferns, wild orchids and St. Lucia’s rare and indigenous parrot can be seen.
Pigeon Island, a 40-acre islet connected by a causeway to St. Lucia’s west coast, is a beautiful nature park which reflects a thousand years of history. The island features marked trails with a number of historical sites, including the remains of an 18th century British fort and Fort Rodney, where the admiral
for whom it is named spied on French ships from this strategic viewpoint.
One of the St. Lucia’s most unique attractions is Sulphur Springs, the world’s only “drive-in” volcano. Even after 40,000 years since its eruption, the volcanic crater shoots forth steam clouds 50 feet high.
