Underneath the glorious Carribean sun, St Lucia has a genuine natural landscape of palm fringed beaches, miles of unspoilt rainforest and the breathtaking Piton mountains.
St Lucia is also a romantic paradise for couples; bask together under the Carribean Sun, sail into a champagne sunset and relax under the vast starry sky. For all those who travel to this island, tropical weather, glorious weather and the holiday of a lifetime truly does await.

About the Island & Getting There
About St Lucia
The Land, The People, The Light – St Lucia’s motto couldn’t be more representative of this captivating sovereign island nation. Witness dazzling scenery, be spellbound by the fascinating locals and allow for St Lucia to brighten your day and show you a new way to life.
St Lucia gained its independence from the British Commonwealth in 1979 and after centuries of a French presence, which is most visible today in the original Capital of Soufrière, St Lucia is famous for its Pitons & landscapes and vivacious community.
St Lucia really is a hiker’s Nirvana! Where to start? That’s a tough question. However, with the likes of - The Diamond Botanical Gardens, Enbas Saut Waterfall Trail, Pigeon Island National Park, Sulphur Springs Park Scenic Drive and Tet Paul Nature Trail – it doesn’t matter! These UNESCO listed sites are a sight to behold. If you're likely to take to the water, you'll be able to admire the rich marine biodiversity just off the shore of St Lucia. Over 60% of the marine area is made up of coral reefs and these are very poular with snorkelers and scuba divers. Just make sure you put time aside to relish these privileged land & seascapes.
Start your cultural trip downtown in Castries. Here you will be provided with more than enough entertainment for an afternoon and evening. The local Market runs throughout the week and is certainly the right place to come for exotic fruits and tantalising Street Food - the Green Fig & Salt Fish is local delicacy and it's not scarce, so perhaps try a few variants on this regional intricacy and let us know which is your favourite! The vendors are incredibly animated, so expect a show to be put on if you choose to explore this part of the island and brush up on those haggling skills. La Place Carenage and Point Seraphine are very popular Malls and if you bear in mind the added incentive of these complexes being Duty-Free, you and your guests will certainly get some good deals (A taxi back to your villa after such an excursion is suggested!).
Many holiday makers are surprised to learn of St Lucia’s rich cocoa legacy. Ever since the 1700’s this island has been producing cocoa related products, that are incredibly sought after all across the world. Morne Coubaril Estate and La Dauphine Estate specialise in showcasing how plantations use to gather & manufacture the Cocoa Bean fruit and organise educational tours. After learning all about St Lucia’s former booming cocoa industry, you will probably need some therapy…how about chocolate therapy like you’ve never encountered before? Enquire at some of the islands more renowned Spas and you’ll be able to experience the benefits of a chocolate facial and massage. Remember - Chocolate isn’t a food, it’s a medicine!
We have selected some of the most exciting villas on the island, so browse through these dreamy holiday homes and have a look at our cheeky little guide to St Lucia!

Beautiful villa
Beautiful villa with lovely views. Great swimming pool and barbecue area. Good to have the garden area for the children. The lovely housekeeper Rolena looked after us exceedingly well. The meals she prepared for us were excellent, the fried chicken and home made rum punch were firm favourites! She did all our washing and cleaning to a high standard. Her services were exceptional. Ian the pool and garden man also quietly did a great job, keeping the pool, garden and barbecue immaculate. Property manager Margueritte was very efficient, responding to any emails very promptly and sorting out any issues that arose.

A Caribbean Dream
We had a great stay, spacious comfortable well equipped and great pool and garden. Rowlina the housekeeper was also great, nothing was to much trouble.

We had a fab time
Quiet, beautiful vistas and great staff. Our only want was a bit more hot water. Rowlina and Margueritte were very helpful despite our independent spirit.

OMG!
We arrived at Villa Decaj and were met by Miss Angela and Mr Ross the housekeeper and gardener. Beautiful people who treated us like their own children. Villa Decaj is split over 2 floors with every amenity known to man. The location on the cap estate was phenomonal and close to Rodney Bay. Reduit beach and in particular 'Spinnakers' restaurant & grill were fantastic. Fresh catch of the day and the lobster was mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! I would recommend a hirecar . As this is self catering i would recommend you take PLENTY of money as even if you cook yourself or Miss Angela does for you, food in the supermarket (Super J's, Rodney Bay being the nearest) is horrendously expensive cmpared to UK supermarket prices. There are numerous trips, we went on the catamaran trip to Pitons, the drive through volcano. I would actually avoid St Lucia in August as we arrived on the Monday and by the Tuesday night the hurricane had started and we were on 'lock down' until Thursday morning! Not brilliant with 12, 14, 15 and 17 yr olds to entertain! All in all, an amazing holiday, with a fabulous villa with brilliant staff and locals..
