Of all the honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean, St Lucia has to be one of the most beautiful. With beautiful beaches, spectacular mountains and small, intimate hotels, honeymoon packages in St Lucia are always a popular request. We at The Co-operative Travel have low-cost packages at this, the most romantic of honeymoon locations.
St Lucia is dominated by its twin volcanic peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton, which give the south its unique black sand. In the north, the beaches are white and the waters crystalline. With pleasant weather through most of the year, and a low-key intimacy with no shortage of things to do, St Lucia has become the leading choice for wedding packages abroad.
Unlike other parts of the Caribbean, St Lucia is a suitable honeymoon destination no matter what date your wedding. The hottest time of year is between June to August, when temperatures can reach the 90s. However, the constant trade winds ensure the island is never too stifling, and the fact this is also the rainy season keeps the heat at bay. Showers are short and sporadic, and what could be more romantic than a wander along the beach, hand-in-hand, in a cooling tropical rainstorm?
The most popular time for honeymoons in St Lucia is December to May, when it is dry and cool, with temperatures in the 70s and 80s. The sea is warm, and it’s the ideal time to explore the peaks, waterfalls and jungles of the interior.
Many couples like to explore the island by car. There are 19,000 acres of jungle to explore, and a myriad waterfalls, bays and coves. To really enjoy your honeymoon, it’s best to pack your hiking boots along with the camera and snorkel – the effort is well worth it.
There are few sprawling resort complexes. Instead, honeymoon packages are booked at small, intimate hotels which offer pampered luxury of the scaled-down kind.
Castries, the capital, is chic and lively, with bars, shops, restaurants and nightclubs as well as an impressive line-up of beaches and watersports. Soufriere is laid back and picturesque, and popular with newly-weds wanting to experience the “real” St Lucia.
A honeymoon package at Anse Chastanet offers amazing views of the twin peaks, with superb diving opportunities. Ladera is a hillside resort with luxury villas that make it the perfect honeymoon destination for newly-wed couples.
St Lucia is among the most stunning of all honeymoon destinations. Our honeymoon packages at The Co-operative Travel will stay in your memory long after the tan has faded.
