Your Kind of Escape in Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is mountainous, green and dramatic, with the twin Pitons rising out of the sea on the southwest coast. The choice that shapes the week is where you stay: the quieter south around Soufrière, or the livelier north around Rodney Bay.
It suits honeymoons and couples, people who like a hike, and anyone who wants scenery as much as the beach. I plan and book these trips for travellers across Canada, from checked destination information rather than a personal trip report.

A few highlights
The Pitons, on the southwest coast
The peaks are why many people choose the south, with hillside resorts, a guided hike and the Sulphur Springs nearby. Soufrière and the Pitons
A day on the water
Boat days and snorkelling are easy to add from a south-coast base. Beaches and snorkelling
Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay and the rainforest hikes are easy to add once the base is chosen. See the places
