Luxury Holidays to St Lucia

Experience luxury at its best on the gorgeous Caribbean island of St Lucia

The island of St Lucia – just over eight hours from the UK via direct flight – is covered in natural beauty including rainforests, banana and cocoa plantations and volcanic and pure white beaches.

A luxury St Lucia holiday is the ideal postcard-perfect break, with crashing clear waves and sandy shores surrounded by lush greenery and tropical jungles. You’ll find numerous 5* hotels scattered around the island, all popular with wedding parties and honeymooners, several of which have their own private cove and beach. For fine dining options, an array of local seafood restaurants serve up traditional specialities, as do numerous award-winning restaurants in the hotels around the island.

Living the high life in St Lucia

No matter where you holiday in St Lucia there’s luxury to be found. Smugglers Cove, a small, private coastal inlet at the northernmost tip of the island, is home to 5* hotels and resorts as well as an 18-hole golf course and a backdrop of rainforest-covered hills. Casteries, the main city in St Lucia, is a port for luxury yachts and cruiseliners. This charming city has a range of shops including jewellery stores and perfumeries, ideal for finding that perfect souvenir.

Cap Estate, meanwhile, is home to luxury villas and resorts. Because of its position on St Lucia’s northern peninsula, it boasts spectacular views to all sides of the island and while this location may seem secluded, it’s actually only a five-minute drive from the island’s stunning volcanic and white sand beaches.
