St Lucia

Trip Planning & Itineraries

A spate of resort developments on St Lucia has made this high, green island one of the Caribbean's fashionable package-tour destinations, but it's still a long way from being sanitized and overdeveloped. Bananas are still bigger business than tourism in this archetypal island paradise.

The western shores of St Lucia are a mighty fine place to be from February to April when the rain eases off. At this time you can expect daily highs around the 84°F mark with conditions getting only slightly hotter but much wetter the rest of the year.

Suggested Itineraries in St Lucia

Marigot Bay is a lovely sheltered bay that's backed by green hillsides and sports a little palm-fringed beach. The inner harbor is so long and deep that an entire British fleet is said to have once escaped French warships by ducking inside and covering their masts with coconut fronds.

South of Soufriére at Malgretout is a quiet, undeveloped beach and mineral waterfall. Not only does this unfrequented waterfall have a beautiful Eden-like setting, but visitors are allowed to shower in its warm volcanic waters - which you cannot do at the more touristy waterfall at Diamond Botanical Gardens.
