St. Lucia is astoundingly beautiful and what every island seeker dreams about when planning a trip to the Caribbean. As a smaller, and more intimate island, this lush tropical delight is still relatively unknown. Part of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is positioned halfway down the Eastern Caribbean, resting between both Martinique and St. Vincent, and just north of Barbados. St Lucia, only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, meets the Atlantic Ocean on it eastern shores, while the beaches on its west coast extend owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea. Like an island out of the South Pacific, its magnificent twin peaks, known as the Pitons, tower over the island some 2,000 feet from the ocean giving way to rainforests where one can only gasp at the enormous beauty of the tropical birds and exotic plant vegitation which abound here. Outside of its rainforests, one can also find groves of coconut, mango, banana and papaya trees. St. Lucia's Soufriere volcano is also something you don't want to miss, since its touted as the world's one and only drive-in volcanic crater.
With a wide range of activites including snorkeling and scuba diving from its steep coastlines and reefs, one can also take part in golf, tennis, sailing, hiking, birdwatching and a host of other relaxing activites. A truly romantic island paradise, many honeymooners visit St Lucia for this very reason alone. As well, several of the more upscale resort spas here offer a tantalizing array of spa services to their guests, making it the perfect spa vacation getaway of choice for spagoers seeking the best of both worlds. It doesn't get much better than this....!
