St Lucia

Top 5 Things To
Do In St Lucia

By Kirsty Harper

Despite being an island synonymous with romance and relaxation, there's also plenty of adventures to be found on this Caribbean isle.

Our Caribbean destination expert, Kirsty, shares her top 5 things to do on the beautiful, jaw-droppingly beautiful island of St Lucia.

01.

Hiking

The Pitons

Hiking to the summit of the Pitons - St Lucia's twin volcanic peaks and most iconic landmarks - is an activity that will take up the majority of the day. It's a strenuous affair but the views from the peak are well worth the effort. We can arrange a private guide who will share insights into the local flora and fauna along the way. 

02.

Sailing

Private yacht charter

Exploring St. Lucia by sea unveils a world of hidden coves, pristine beaches, and dramatic coastal scenery. Charter a private yacht to experience the island from a unique perspective. Sail along the coast, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, and anchor at secluded bays.

03.

Chocolate Lovers

Project Chocolat

Embark on the famous Project Chocolat experience set within the Rabot Estate, one of the oldest cocoa plantations on the island. This special agri-tourism experience by Hotel Chocolat celebrates the rich flavors of St Lucia's cacao. The plantation's lush surroundings provide a gorgeous backdrop for the 'Bean to Bar' or 'Tree to Bar' experience. 

04.

Relax by the sea

Sugar Beach

Built on an old sugar plantation on the edge of a white sand beach, Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort is a stand-out property with impressive views of the Pitons and the shimmering Caribbean sea.  It's among the island's best family resorts with an excellent kids club and days can be as action-packed or as relaxed as you choose. Whilst the kids are being well looked after, adults can enjoy the Rainforest Spa and luxurious butler service. 

05.

Jazz Festival

An annual celebration

The St. Lucia Jazz Festival, held annually in May, is a world-renowned event that attracts music lovers from around the globe. This prestigious festival features an impressive lineup of international and local jazz artists, delivering performances that resonate with the island's vibrant culture and rhythm.
