Holidays to St Lucia

Basking in the sun on a sandy beach, hiking up the impressive Pitons and shaking your hips at a street party, a St Lucia holiday is the Caribbean queen of good times.

A toast to the Caribbean coast

Want a taste of paradise? St Lucia's white-sand beaches and baby blue seas will knock your sliders right off, whether you’re on a romantic getaway or holidaying with the family. Splash through the surf on horseback, swing on a hammock between two palms or take your pick from every watersport under the Caribbean sun.

Twin peaks adventure

For a big ole wallop of adrenaline, hike up the twin peaks of the Pitons, go quad-biking through a plantation or visit the world's only drive-in volcano (yeah, you read that right!). When it comes to active Caribbean adventures, this mango-shaped island does not disappoint.

Jump Up, jump up and get down

Fish fry, ice cold beers and a boogie to reggae, soca and dancehall, there is no party like a Jump Up street party! These merry weekly get-togethers are legendary on a St Lucia holiday and Gros Islet is the most famous destination for it. The quiet fishing village turns into a Caribbean Glastonbury every Friday night with live music, dancing and plenty of rum-fuelled fun.

Ocean vibes: Turtle-y tropical

You can’t travel to this side of the world and not gatecrash the under-sea party! Thanks to the Caribbean’s crystal clear waters and marine-rich reefs, the snorkelling and scuba diving around St Lucia is turtle-y tropical. Go swimming with leatherback turtles on the west coast, snorkel with sailfish and, why not, spot toothy parrotfish off Pigeon Island.

Sweet like chocolate

Chocoholics can go coco loco on a St Lucia holiday because here you can eat it, drink it (chocolate beer, anyone?) and use it as a beauty scrub. Learn all about the sweet stuff on a tree-to-bar tour of the Rabot Estate — the home of Hotel Chocolat.
