Top 10 Reasons St. Lucia Is the Best Destination in the Caribbean
- It’s the only island in the Caribbean (and likely the world) with a drive-in volcano!
- It is uniquely multicultural due to over 150 years of European settlers battling for control
- Its small size puts major attractions and accommodations within easy reach at all times
- Its unique layout lends itself to lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, and volcanic mountains
- It has an ideal temperature virtually every day of the year, and despite plenty to do, lacks the massive crowds of many other Caribbean islands
- Some of the best views in the Caribbean can be found on St. Lucia, including the view from atop Gros Piton
- Yachters from around the world visit Rodney Bay for races and to enjoy the island
- The open air market in Castries offers a bevy of duty free foods, crafts, and more
- The tropical atmosphere and relatively smaller crowds lend themselves perfectly to romance and relaxation
- The island is home to affordable luxury Airbnbs such as Sargas, Enclaves, Saba, Sapphire and Serrana villas as well as all-inclusive resorts- all within easy reach of major attractions!
While it was long believed that St. Lucia was discovered by Christopher Columbus in the 1500’s, it is now believed that he only traveled near the island, which was first settled as far back as 200AD by the Arawak Indians.
A number of Europeans attempted to settle the island, including the British and French, only to be pushed back by the Caribs who inhabited the island.
While the democratic nation was under the British crown until 1979, today it is an independent commonwealth with a diverse culture- a culture that exudes joy and pride and that embraces those coming to the island.
