COVER STORY<br />
The Pitons, St Lucia<br />
ST LUCIA<br />
Framed by the dramatic mountains of the Pitons, St Lucia is a dreamy<br />
Caribbean paradise.<br />
Jane took a boat ride, arranged by her resort BodyHoliday, to witness<br />
the beautiful Piton peaks. Along the way, she stopped at the historic<br />
landmark of Marigot Bay, which is where both the 1967 adaptation of<br />
the Doctor Dolittle books, and scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean<br />
were filmed. Jane also visited the island’s famous sulphur springs and<br />
mud baths (see more on page 34).<br />
The original Love Island, St Lucia is a popular destination for<br />
weddings, honeymoons and plain old romance, so Jane embraced<br />
the island’s amorous nature with an opportunity to attend a vow<br />
renewal ceremony.<br />
Jane and team headed to the popular Rodney Bay, home to a<br />
yacht-lined marina and a waterpark. North of there, they visited<br />
Cas En Bas Beach, a well-known spot for kitesurfing and horse<br />
riding. It’s here that they enjoyed a drink at the St Lucian institution,<br />
Marjorie's Restaurant and Beach Bar, with its funky community vibe<br />
and marvellous sea views. We highly recommend you feel the sand<br />
between your toes as you sip on a cool rum punch!<br />
St Lucia’s eastern coast is home to a vast rainforest and has become<br />
an adventure eco-park, which Jane explored during her stay.<br />
“The Aerial Tram was absolutely tranquil,” says Ellie, “The whole team<br />
were gliding among the treetops in an open-air gondola, keeping an<br />
eye out for parrots and other wildlife while admiring incredible views<br />
across the island.”<br />
WHERE TO STAY<br />
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort is in the picturesque valley<br />
of the Pitons and set among 100 acres of rainforest and<br />
garden, making it your ideal tropical haven in St Lucia.<br />
Get pampered in the treehouse Rainforest Spa (see page<br />
34), enjoy watersports from the blissful white sands right<br />
on your doorstep, or sip a rum cocktail by the pool!<br />
An 7 night holiday staying at Sugar Beach in St Lucia,<br />
starts from £2,559 per person.<br />
