About Saint Lucia

St. Lucia is a Prime Eastern Caribbean Investment  and Caribbean Leading Honeymoon Destination for ten years. Over the last three decades, its economy has sifted from a strictly Agricultural base to tourism, which is currently its largest foreign exchange earner and largest employer.

St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown.
With her white and black sand beaches, geological wonders, lush, tropical flora and fauna, Saint Lucia name and fame is the stuff of legends. Her famous pitons have been named by Oprah winfrey as one of the world's top five must see spectacles and her dramatic sea and landscapes continue to provide a backdrop for movies and reality shows.
English is the official language, however a French creole is widely spoken among the local residents.

St. Lucia has been inhabited since long before colonial  times, and its cultural treasures are a fascinating  mélange of its rich past and its many different traditions. The island's people  have earned a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm, and the  island itself is dotted with aged fortresses, small villages, and open-air markets.

It also possesses some of the finest natural harbors in the Caribbean and its centrally located within easy reach of the rest of the region and North America. As a result of this strategic location, the French and British fought endlessly for possession of the island. St. Lucia Changed hands 14 times between the two colonial power. A-tug-of-war that inspired one British historian to give St. Lucia sobriquet "Helen of the West Indies" comparing the island to Helen of Troy.

There is abroad array of exciting and exotic  ADVENTURE PACKAGES available on St. Lucia. The island's steep coastlines and lovely reefs offer excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. The preserves of St. Lucia's mountainous interior are one of the Caribbean's finest locations for hiking and bird watching. Of course, the island also possesses excellent facilities for golf, tennis, sailing, and a host of other leisure pursuits. Not to be missed is St. Lucia's Soufriere volcano, the world's only drive-in volcanic crater and Volga Nature Trail.
