St Lucia

A Caribbean paradise with dramatic scenery, colourful villages and secluded beaches. A green, fertile, tropical island with volcanic peaks, hot springs, acres of rain forest and lush banana and coconut plantations, as well as some superb beaches and coral reefs. The French influence, dating back to the 18th century, can still be felt in the French place names and patois language spoken by many islanders. It's also a great choice for those who like to explore, go hiking or mountain biking
