SAINT LUCIA<br />
One destination, limitless inspiration<br />
Saint Lucia offers so much – from<br />
the dreamiest array of luxury<br />
accommodation, to an abundance<br />
of amazing experiences and adventures in<br />
the great outdoors.<br />
On this Caribbean island, your senses<br />
will be filled with the sound of steel drums,<br />
the sight of miles of perfect sandy beaches<br />
and the taste of Creole cuisine – and all with<br />
a backdrop of towering green mountains<br />
covered in lush tropical forest.<br />
Celebrate the Caribbean on an island<br />
that joyfully blends its own culture with<br />
both French and English heritage. You don't<br />
have to wait until July’s annual carnival, as<br />
every week there are events to awaken your<br />
soul to the rhythms of Caribbean calypso.<br />
The Friday Night Street Party at Gros<br />
Islet has become a hotspot for Saint Lucia<br />
holidaymakers and locals alike, while Anse<br />
La Raye Seafood Fridays are the perfect<br />
opportunity for tasting fresh, delicious local<br />
fish dishes.<br />
Saint Lucia boasts so much more than<br />
just sun, sea, and sand. Fans of water sports<br />
will love the wonderful diving, snorkelling,<br />
deep-sea fishing, and sailing. Nature lovers<br />
won’t want to miss a trip to the Caribbean’s<br />
only ‘drive-in’ volcano, La Soufrière, or<br />
the opportunity to take a mud bath in the<br />
Sulphur <strong>Spring</strong>s. The National Rainforest<br />
Reserve, which has more than 7,500 hectares<br />
of paradise, is ideal for birdwatchers, hikers,<br />
and nature lovers to explore.<br />
As well as enjoying activities such as<br />
rainforest aerial tram rides, private sailing<br />
lessons, and Creole cooking classes, be sure<br />
to tick off the following experiences:<br />
• Soaking up local atmosphere on a foodie<br />
or historical walking tour of Castries.<br />
• Swooping over the Piton Mountain<br />
peaks on a helicopter tour, or painting<br />
the peaks during a private lesson with<br />
a local artist.<br />
• Snapping the island’s verdant rainforests,<br />
idyllic bays and palm-fringed beaches<br />
during a private photography tour.<br />
• Savouring a sweet Bean-to-Bar<br />
experience at Hotel Chocolat.<br />
