Beautiful and unspoilt, exotic St Lucia’s sweeping green mountains and rugged, sand-fringed shores are the perfect backdrop to a choice of elegant yet informal beach hotels . . .

St Lucia's inviting beaches, dramatic volcanic contours (at their most improbable in the south, where the great sugar-loaf peaks of the famous ‘Pitons’ rise sheer from the sea) and amazingly lush 'wall-to-wall' carpet of tropical vegetation, draped across mountains that rise to 3,000 ft, all offer a magically restorative setting for a memorable Caribbean holiday.
