St. Lucia Honeymoon

The island nation’s thriving landscape of volcanic plugs, dense rainforests and lush green jungle, disturbed only by cascading waterfalls, provides the active couple with a variety of hiking trails and climbing terrain. For those who wish to indulge in the languid pace of island life, a St. Lucia honeymoon is ideal. The island's pristine beaches beckon its honeymooners to bask in the sun and snorkel in its sparkling blue waters before retreating to one of the island’s many luxury resorts. A saunter through the sleepy fishing villages and open air markets of Castries offer an insight into daily life on the Caribbean island.

Learn more about this beautiful and romantic island, and see why St. Lucia honeymoons are so popular. 

When to Go

The winter months of December through May present the best time to for a St. Lucia honeymoon due to warm and dry weather for outdoor activity. Soaring prices during this season are a consequence of the influx of tourists. June through October marks hurricane season on the island, resulting in increased rain, heat and humidity, leaving St. Lucia relatively quiet this time of year.
