About St.Lucia

Located between the islands of Martinique and St. Vincent, St. Lucia is 238 square miles with a culturally and ethnically diverse population of 178,000. St. Lucia’s exotic natural beauty, lush vegetation, volcanic mountains and fertile fields earned it the name “Helen of the West Indies”. The island changed hands fourteen times between the French and the British leaving a rich history of it’s plantations, forts, cannons and other historical remnants, visual island-wide.

St. Lucia is home to some of the world’s famous landmarks most notably the Gros and Petit Pitons (2,619 feet [798 metres] and 2,460 feet [750 metres], respectively), two immense pyramids of rock rising sharply from the sea and enclosing a small bay. The Gros and Petit Pitons were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. Near Petit Piton, in the crater of an ancient volcano, are the boiling sulphur springs from which the nearby town of Soufrière takes its name. Located here are the world famous drive-in volcano as well as hot sulphur springs where you can enjoy a therapeutic and relaxing mud bath. Complementing this paradise of an island are abundant flora and fauna, pristine beaches, waterfalls, breathtaking sea views, lush vegetation, historic sites and above all, friendly and welcoming locals.
