St. Lucia
Powdered sugar beaches by the turquoise sea, lush tropical greenery, fantastic pampering hotels, cool parties and Creole joie de vivre. The Caribbean island of Saint Lucia has always been a symbol of a tropical island of longing.
Saint Lucia's landmark is its unique Pitons: The imposing twin volcanic cones rise from sea level to a height of almost 800 meters and are the crowning glory of the breathtakingly beautiful and wild landscape of this Caribbean island. The mountainous interior, covered in lush tropical rainforest, invites you to explore the rainforest. Whether on foot, by mountain bike or even hanging on a tightrope above the treetops of the giant trees, adventurers are guaranteed to get their money's worth here.
