Despite its relatively small size, Saint Lucia does offer an awful lot to any visitor to its shores.

Astounding landscapes, like those you’ll find at the Edmund Forest Reserve or the Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve – or indeed, pretty much anywhere on the island, where you’ll never have to go far to see natural wonders like the peaks of the Pitons or the Toraille Waterfallor Savannes Bay. It really is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet.

History to be discovered too, by visiting such places as the Inniskilling Fusiliers Monument and Vieux Fort, and adventures to be had on land, on the water, and even under the water if you want to explore the coral reefs and wrecks around the island. And those incredible beaches too of course, little pockets of perfection all, with their glorious sands and the waves of the Caribbean Sea lapping onto them.

And yet, that same Caribbean Sea is an area of the world which is incredibly generous, presenting the holidaymaker with so many places just as wonderful as Saint Lucia – many of them not too far away, such as Antigua, Barbados and Grenada. And a little further afield, places like Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and even the north coast of South America! So if you’re able to drag yourself away from this great country, why not come and discover some of the others you’ll find virtually on its doorstep?
