St Lucia Luxury Airbnb Villas- An Absolute Must for First Timers (and a No Brainer for Repeat Travelers)
Let’s face it- COVID-19 changed the way we look at almost everything. For many travelers, this leads to one big question- is it safe?

Whether a tropical getaway has been sitting on your to-do list since before you ever heard of COVID or pandemic fatigue is the cause for your need to get away, St Lucia is waiting.
Today we will look at St Lucia Airbnb rentals and just why they are such a great choice for pandemic-weary travelers.
But first let’s take a look at the island itself- what to see, what to do, and what part of the island to call home.

St Lucia At A Glance
St Lucia is a former British colony located in the eastern Caribbean near St. Vincent and Martinique.
St Lucia is very much an island on the rise, and with new Airbnb homes being literally (and lovingly) carved right into the face of the island itself, there has never been a better time to visit.
When it comes to things to see and do, St Lucia has something for everyone.
To the north, near George FL Charles (SLU) Airport is the capital town of Castries, home to a renowned open air market as well as beautiful churches, La Toc Beach, and more.
Nearby, visitors will find Rodney and Marigot Bays, home to some of the region’s best yachting.
Gros Islet, also to the north, offers a Friday night street party that is not to be missed. If you’re looking for an immersive and authentic experience, the music and food at the street party are almost essential.
Pigeon Island, an integral part of St Lucia’s history, is also found in the north of St Lucia and is great for a day trip with lots to see and do. There are also many resorts in this area, including 3 Sandals resorts, Windjammer Landing Resort, and more.
In the center of the island, about 45 minutes from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) and an hour and fifteen minutes from SLU Regional Airport, is the former capital of Soufriere.
If you’re looking to choose an Airbnb over resorts, this is definitely the place you want to call home. Not only is Soufriere home to some of the best Airbnb rentals in the Caribbean, it is also home to many of the island’s top attractions.
In Soufriere, you will find things such as Sulphur Springs, the only known drive-in volcano in the entire world! The mud baths here are renowned for their relaxing and healing properties. Soufriere is also home to Diamond Falls botanical gardens and the Tet Paul Nature Trail.
The island is also home to the iconic Pitons, the first thing visitors to the island will likely see. These UNESCO World Heritage volcanic mountains are the island’s hallmark, even featured on the St Lucia flag, and offer excellent hiking for more experienced travelers.
Of course, no trip to the Caribbean is complete without enjoying the island’s white sand beaches, and Soufriere’s Sugar Beach is absolutely perfect. Hummingbird Beach is also a great choice, especially with the recent addition of shops, showers, visitor info, and more.

Tips for Visiting St Lucia
There are a few things that visitors should know when planning a trip to beautiful St. Lucia.
For starters, travelers entering St Lucia MUST have a PCR test showing negative status dated within 5 days of arrival in the island.
Masks must be worn in public places, and like other locations around the world, businesses may offer temperature checks or screening questions that are required for entry.
With that said, however, fully vaccinated visitors currently have expanded access to the island, making it an almost ideal time to visit. It is also worth noting that a visa is not required for any country in the Caribbean or any country with a special arrangement with the island, including the US and the UK among many others.
Passports must be valid for six months after your planned departure date and you must have proof of planned departure. When you’re here, there are a few things you should know. For starters, while resorts may offer beach access, it is not exclusive.
All beaches in St Lucia are open and available to all visitors, though chairs and other items may be designated for resort guests. It is also important to note that the island’s taxis are not metered.
This means that it is wise to choose a taxi service ahead of time and to be sure that you know the cost up-front (including any fees) before disembarking. Of course, when you stay at an Airbnb by Janus Villas, you have access to chauffeur service from some of the best (and most affordable) drivers on the island.
