st lucia

the dramatic one

St Lucia is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. The twin Pitons rise straight out of the sea, rainforest covers the interior, and the south is full of waterfalls, hot springs and cocoa estates.

The island is known for its romantic hotels, many with open walls facing the Pitons, but it’s also great for families and walkers.
