Stunning St. Lucia

The Volcanic Island in the Sun

We know we don’t need to give you an excuse to visit the Caribbean, but how about this one: St. Lucia has officially reopened to US travelers, and if all goes well, the country will begin welcoming all international visitors from August 1st. So let’s start dreaming about this incredible island, shall we? Dive headfirst into the crystal blue water, snorkel your way through vivid coral reef sites, while admiring the volcanic, mountainous backdrop. Make the invigorating hike up the breathtaking volcanic spires of the Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Expect one of those, you have to see it to believe it, moments as you admire the staggering twin pinnacles. Zipline through the Chassin region’s lush green rainforest for the ultimate thrill. Or, if relaxing and wiggling your toes in the sand is more your speed, there is absolutely no shortage of impeccable beaches and luxury resorts to choose from. Round out the day, enjoying a fiery orange sunset at the extraordinary Jade Mountain resort restaurant. Go for the food, linger longer for the views.
