But other aspects of St Lucia are even more memorable. Much of the island is mountainous and covered in a blanket of thick rainforest, and in the south-west corner there is arguably the most arresting sight in the whole Caribbean: the green and precipitous volcanic fangs of the Petit Piton and Gros Piton rising skywards out of a deep blue ocean. The island's scenery cries out to be explored – whether climbing a Piton, hiking on trails in the rainforest or zip-lining over the jungle canopy.
At the same time, St Lucia is perfect for a chilled, do-little break. The island excels in secluded, upmarket and thoroughly romantic boltholes, with a number of special hotels in the sleepy Soufrière area occupying tropical plantation estates and/or basking in Piton views. If, however, you want bright lights and nightlife, St Lucia can deliver that too, up in the north in the island's only resort of Rodney Bay Village. Read the full travel article here.
