FOR FOODIES

SAVOUR A FUSION OF VISTAS AND FLAVOURS

Take in the best views of Castries Bay from Morne Fortune and Marigot Bay viewpoints, visit a banana plantation and see how local dishes like accra (fish cakes) are made in the lush landscape, then cap it off in Soufrière, home of the famous Pitons and Orlando’s restaurant. Here, your celebrity chef host is on hand while you tuck into an unforgettable three-course lunch. Scenes of St Lucia and Lunch at Orlando’s

FOR CULTURE VULTURES

SOAK UP THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS

Start the journey at Stony Hill, a grand privately owned home in tropical surroundings. Explore the orchid house and admire the perfume trees and flower and cactus beds. Afterwards, a pianist will play on the veranda while local delicacies are served. Next, it’s on to the charming fishing village of Gros Islet, home to the Pantime Steel Orchestra. Learn about the wide range of steel pans and how to play before trying your hand at making music. Sounds of St Lucia and Stony Hill House

FOR NATURE LOVERS

TAKE A HIKE ALONG THE JACQUOT TRAIL

St Lucia’s rainforest covers nearly 7,700 hectares and is best discovered on foot. From the base of La Sorcière mountain, you’ll make a gradual ascent into the forest. Your guide will take you along the Jacquot Trail, named after the Saint Lucia amazon parrot (or Jacquot parrot) that is the island’s proud symbol. As you cross ravines, look out for epiphytes, giant ferns and colourful birdlife. Jacquot Trail Hike
