The UK is yet again braced for another cold spell with freezing temperatures so now is the best time to look at getting away and warming up, if you would like a relaxing holiday then why not visit the chic island of St Lucia which is the perfect place to de-stress. Stars such as Amy Winehouse go here to relax especially at this time of year where you will find temperatures of 30C and fresh breezes from the Caribbean coast that cut through the humidity. It’s not just a great escape for couples but also you can bring your family with lots to explore on this unspoiled exotic island.
For those who don’t want to spend all their time sunbathing on the golden sandy beaches there are other activities to enjoy such as diving, snorkelling, sailing, yachting, wind surfing, hiking, running and trail riding, if you prefer a more sedate holiday you can also relax in a spa and have a massage.
There is also lots of natural beauty to enjoy from the island’s landmark Piton Mountains which offer vistas across sparkling seas to some secluded sunspots such as Pigeon Island and Reduit Bay. The island is also famous for its local tipple Bounty Rum where you can sample it at the local island distillery, St Lucia Rums. There are also many festivals held on the island like the St. Lucia Jazz festival and the annual Carnival to International Cricket matches.
