Saint Lucia
A spate of resort developments on St Lucia
has made this high, green island one of the Caribbean's trendy
package-tour destinations, but it's still a long way from
being sanitised and overdeveloped. Bananas are still bigger
business than tourism in this archetypal island paradise.
Much of the island is rural: small coastal fishing villages
give way to a hinterland of banana and coconut plantations
folded within deep valleys topped by rich, mountainous jungle.
The rugged terrain continues beneath the sea in a diving heaven
of underwater mountains, caves and drop-offs.
Its most dramatic scenery is in the south, where the twin
volcanic peaks of the Pitons rise sharply from the shoreline
to form distinctive landmarks. The coastline is pocketed with
secluded coves and beaches made for one (or, naturally, at
sunset, for two).
