Discover Saint Lucia: A Perfect Travel Itinerary


Saint Lucia, a stunning Caribbean island known for its lush rainforests, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and pristine beaches, offers a perfect tropical getaway. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a blend of both, this travel itinerary will help you make the most of your visit to this picturesque paradise.

Day 1: Arrival in Saint Lucia

Upon arrival at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) or George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU), take a transfer to your chosen accommodation. Saint Lucia boasts a range of options, from boutique resorts to all-inclusive properties like BodyHoliday, so ensure that you spend your first evening exploring your resort and enjoying a relaxing dinner by the sea. 

Day 2: Exploring Castries and Soufrière

Start your day with a hearty West Indian breakfast at your resort before heading to Castries, the capital city, and then visit the bustling Castries Market, where you can shop for local crafts, spices, and fresh produce. Afterwards, explore the nearby Derek Walcott Square and historic buildings like the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

In the afternoon, journey south to the charming town of Soufrière. Along the way, stop at the Sulphur Springs, the world's only drive-in volcano. Whilst you’re at it, we recommend a quick dip at the Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens, known for its vibrant flora and natural mineral baths. Then conclude your day with a visit to the iconic Pitons – the two volcanic peaks that have become Saint Lucia's symbol.

Day 3: Adventure in the Rainforest

Get an early hike through the enchanting rainforest. The Edmund Forest Reserve offers a range of trails suitable for various fitness levels. You can also choose to go zip-lining through the treetops for an adrenaline rush.

In the afternoon, take a relaxing boat tour along the coastline to discover secluded beaches and snorkelling spots. Alternatively, visit the Toraille Waterfall for a refreshing swim in its cool, cascading waters.

Day 4: Beach Day and Water Activities

Saint Lucia boasts some of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches, so spend a day unwinding on the sandy shores. Cariblue Beach in Cap Estate and Pigeon Island Beach are excellent choices. If you're feeling adventurous, try paddleboarding, kayaking, or even kitesurfing.

Day 5: Cultural Exploration in Pigeon Island

Venture to Pigeon Island National Landmark, a historic site filled with ruins, forts, and hiking trails. Explore the historical exhibits, and don't miss the panoramic views from the lookout point.

In the evening, indulge in Saint Lucian cuisine at a local restaurant. Be sure to try dishes like green fig and saltfish, callaloo soup, and fresh seafood.

Day 6: Sailing and Snorkeling

Embark on a day of sailing and snorkelling. Many tour operators offer catamaran cruises that take you to prime snorkelling spots like Anse Cochon and Anse Mamin. Enjoy a barbecue lunch onboard and soak up the sun on the deck.

Day 7: Departure

Savour your last Saint Lucian breakfast before taking your transfer to the airport. Depart with fond memories of this West Indian paradise and dreams of returning to explore even more of Saint Lucia's natural beauty and vibrant culture.

Saint Lucia offers a captivating blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty that makes it an ideal destination for travellers seeking a memorable west indian escape. Whether you're hiking through the lush rainforest, lounging on pristine beaches, or exploring the island's rich history and culture, Saint Lucia has something for everyone.

Empowered by Self-Care at BodyHoliday’s Skin Clinic

There’s magic in re-charging and as for me, it starts with restorative beauty. The reasons can be as simple as getting rid of chipped nails or the fresh feeling after a waxing session.

The Charm of Nails and Toes Care There is something I have always known to be true: how we look affects how we feel.

The joy of looking at my own hands and feet to see manicured glossy nails, soft cuticles, and polished finish gives me great pleasure. At BodyHoliday’s Skin Clinic, the engagement is quite beyond a regular nail design appointment. While seated in a comfortable chair, relaxation comes o...
