St Lucia*
Dramatic volcanoes, flower-filled rainforests, crashing waterfalls, idyllic beaches… luscious St Lucia is an island of spectacular contrasts.
Distinctly French but with English, African and Caribbean influences, popular St Lucia has a culture as rich as the local Creole stew. Explore the capital Castries with its colourful market or stunning Soufrière, where the twin peaks of the Pitons point as proud as a Gaultier bra. Sit under swaying palms on sugar white beaches or don a mask and fins and go swim with the fish.
