A volcanic island, Saint Lucia is more mountainous than most islands in the Caribbean. . With Mount Gimie and the Pitons forming the volcanic backdrop to golden beaches that are next to crystal clear blue waters, Saint Lucia is arguably one of the most beautiful spots in the Caribbean.
It is also one of the more welcoming. The small population of people who call the island their home draw upon the rich traditions of their African, French and English heritage. If you listen closely, you might just hear the distinctive sounds of the Kreole language, a form of French patois. You’ll also hear the vibrant sounds of Caribbean music like soca, zouk and reggae.
One other thing you should know about Saint Lucia: it is a noble place. The island boasts two Nobel laureates to its name, giving it the highest ration of Nobel prize winners to population size in the world. You’ll get smart just going there!
You’d also be smart to take advantage of the incredible package deals to Saint Lucia that are currently available. To be able to fly to and stay in paradise for five nights and under $800 is too good to pass up.
