A drive-in volcano lets visitors get close to bubbling mud pools and therapeutic hot springs without a long hike.

A palm-fringed natural harbour is often called one of the most beautiful bays in the entire Caribbean, popular with sailors and honeymooners alike.

Canopy tours and hiking trails wind through lush interior rainforest near Dennery, home to the rare Saint Lucia parrot.

December–April, the dry season, offers the most reliable sunshine for beaches and hiking.

Citizens of the EU, UK and USA can enter visa-free for stays of up to 90 days.

It leans moderate to upscale, particularly around the Pitons, and is a popular choice for honeymoon resorts.

Taxis and rental cars are the main options, with winding roads connecting the mountainous interior to coastal towns.
