The Appeal
St.
Lucia's a this small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown,
making your luxury travel package seem like exciting adventure of discovery
that may be similar to a recent stress releasing daydream.
St. Lucia has some of the
most magnificent rain forests, where wild orchids, giant ferns, and birds
of paradise flourish. Enjoy your luxury travel vacation package while experiencing
brilliantly-plumed tropical birds, including endangered species like the
indigenous St. Lucia parrot. Only verdant fields and orchards of banana,
coconut, mango, and papaya trees break the rainforest. When you decide
on St. Lucia for your family vacation, present it to your children as a
deserted island, a place like Neverland. You'll discover that both you
and your children will be excited to get away from it all and enjoy the
magical appeal of the exotic surroundings.
Family Activities
St. Lucia is also popular
with families traveling together because of the various activities that
people of all ages can enjoy together. The island's lovely reefs offer
excellent snorkeling. Imagine introducing your kids into the world of exotic
fish and wild beauty through their first snorkeling experience. The rainforest
preserves of St. Lucia's mountainous interior are one of the Caribbean's
finest locales for hiking. Teach your children the importance of conservation
and introduce them to the beauteous sights of the endangered rain forests
that they had only experienced in school. A luxury vacation to St. Lucia
is truly an excellent option for travelers who wish to introduce their
children to a new worldview. Imagine the crystal clear, warm waters. Picture
the fine white sand beaches, lined with gently swaying palms. See your
family playing in the surf, laughing and enjoying themselves. With so much
to offer travelers of all ages, let a St. Lucia luxury vacation package
bring you and your family closer together.

| Reasons
why you need a St Lucia vacation by Lyton Cazaubon
Why is St Lucia the perfect
vacation destination? Many of us are looking for the perfect vacation and
the perfect vacation also means the perfect location, but how do you choose
where to go for that well deserved vacation? I mean, with so many destination
to choose from, how do you which one is the most ideal for you.
I’m sure if you had the money
you would just do some random traveling, but not everyone is so fortunate.
So what exactly is a perfect
vacation destination? Well I’m no expert on traveling but to my mind, the
perfect destination is some where you go to get those things you are looking
for on a vacation. With that said, the question still remain, does St Lucia
cater to those vacation needs that you’re looking for?
Before we go further, let
me give you a brief description on St Lucia and what you can expect on
a vacation here.
St
Lucia is a small Island towards the center of the Caribbean chain only
238sq miles, which means, you can drive around the island in less than
three hours. This small island is as the St Lucia tourist board puts it
“simply beautiful”.
Here are some of the few
things you will find.
Luscious green vegetation
all over the island, two majestic twin peaks (pitons) which has recently
gotten world heritage site status, the only drive in volcano in the world,
several scuba diving site, snorkeling sites, turtle watching, whale watching,
some of the loveliest beaches in the world, night activities, top notch
hotels and restaurants, golfing in close proximity to several hotels, site
seeing and much more.
If you’re coming to St Lucia
by plane, then everyday there are several flights to and from the US, Canada
and the United Kingdom , making booking your flight easy as 123. You may
be traveling by cruise, well that is definitely not a problem because every
year, hundreds of cruise ships grace our shores with thousands of visitors.
There is basically something for everyone here.
Let me first point out to
you that St Lucia’s main revenue comes from tourism, so you can rest assured
that a lot of emphasis is being placed on the well being of every visitor
to the island. After visiting St Lucia you will realize why so many visitors
keep coming back.
Finding some where to stay
in St Lucia is quite easy; there are so many hotels, villas and vacation
homes to choose from. You can choose an all inclusive hotel where you will
have no surprise expenses or if you want to experience local cuisine from
different restaurants that can also be arranged. I’m sure you will find
the right deal for you because you can find high priced hotels as well
low budget priced hotels. There are also several hotels that have kid’s
activities, leaving mom and dad with enough time to spend with each other.
With so many things to do
in St Lucia, it’s hard not to see why St Lucia is not the ideal place to
have the perfect vacation whether it is with the family, traveling solo,
with that special person in your life or if you planning on getting married.
Every year hundreds of people all over the world come to St Lucia to tie
the knot. In fact readers of the Caribbean World Magazine have voted St
Lucia several times as the Caribbean Wedding Island of the Year" and Honeymoon
Island of the Year.
I know that St Lucia is a
wonderful country; because that’s the reason I live there. So if you have
never visited St Lucia before, start making plans to see why Oprah Winfrey,
Harrison Ford, David Bowie, Bill Gates, Wyclef Jean, Whitney Houston, Bill
Clinton, Nicolas Cage and so many prestigious people keep coming back to
St Lucia.
