St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean's most recently discovered treasures. There are magnificent rain forests waiting to be explored, exotic blooms to awake your senses, secluded beaches, primeval mountain peaks and natural beauty largely untouched by time. As soon as you arrive, you will be dazzled by the island's lush interior, fields full of banana, coconut, mango and papaya trees, rain forests containing wild orchids, giant ferns, birds of paradise and the indigenous St. Lucia parrot protected in their natural habitat. Tourist attractions include the lush rain forest and the Pitons at Soufriere, a drive-in volcano.

For families, the superb Reduit beach in Rodney Bay is a perfect location, offering all kinds of watersports and activities. The charming town of Rodney Bay has shops, supermarkets, banks and restaurants to suit everyone. It is certainly not necessary to be All Inclusive in St. Lucia.

Located to the northwest of Barbados, shaped like a mango, one of its sweetest fruits, St. Lucia is about 27 miles long and 14 miles at its widest. It is home to two airports, Hewanorra International Airport at Vieux Fort, and George Charles Airport near Castries.
