COUPLE’S PARADISEAOUR SPECIAL TIME IN SAINT LUCIA,
“To pick our favorite romantic spot on our
honeymoon in Saint Lucia was really difficult as the
whole island is so romantic but after a long hard
think, our own private sunset sail with a bottle of
champagne was truly unforgettable and something
we will probably never do again.”

Saint Lucia is awash with activities for couples, but the
island is also full of premier attractions and adventures
that your friends and family will love. From the world's
only drive through volcano to whale, dolphin and turtle
watching, here is a sample of the activities that
everyone can enjoy:
LAND ADVENTURES
If nature sets your heart racing, Saint Lucia will elevate
your pulse. Hike the rugged Atlantic coastline along the
Eastern Nature Trail, where you can enjoy spectacular
views of Mount Gimie. For something more leisurely,
with equally stunning views, stroll through the Tet Paul
Nature Trail. Rent a mountain bike and go off-roading
in Anse Mamin. The path winds its way beside a stunning
beach and through unspoilt rainforest. Those with a
penchant for the historic will enjoy guided tours of our
various heritage sites, including Morne Fortune and
Pigeon Island National Landmark. After an inspiring
walk or challenging hike, a visit to one of our many
waterfalls will offer the perfect location to refresh,
reflect and relax.
SEA ADVENTURES
Fishing. Windsurfing. Yachting. Scuba Diving. Snuba.
Snorkeling, or simply floating atop some of the clearest
waters in the world. The list of ways to immerse yourself
in the waters of Saint Lucia is endless. Book a charter
for some whale watching or deep-sea fishing. Take the
helm of your own yacht. Off the coast of Vieux Fort, the
prevailing winds create ideal conditions for any manner
of surfing. And, for underwater exploration, the slope of
our Pitons creates the perfect conditions for a drift dive.
AIR ADVENTURES
Take a zip line and fly above the rainforest and truly
experience the rich, jungled landscape of this unique
island. Kitesurfers and windsurfers can experience ideal
wind conditions off our southern coast, and ardent
hikers can take the winding forest trail to the summit
of Gros Piton – soaring more than 2,600 feet into
the air. Upon summiting, you will be treated to simply
breathtaking views of our island and even neighboring
ones. And, for the ultimate in view seeking, take a
helicopter tour of the island to get a bird’s eye view.
DINING
What sets Saint Lucia apart from the rest of the
Caribbean islands is the variety of ways we celebrate
our heritage and traditions. Taste the very best in Asian,
French, EuroCaribbean, Western fusion, Creole cuisine
and delicious international dishes, Saint Lucia is the
island to satisfy every appetite. For those seeking out
some local flavor The Pink Plantation House offers
the very best in Creole cuisine, with tantalizing dishes
served day and night in the heart of lush green gardens
overlooking the capital city of Castries. Soak up the
island’s soul every Friday and Saturday night when
locals in various towns put on their dancing shoes and
aprons for a fish fry. Sway to local beats and dine on
local delicacies on Fridays at Anse La Raye Fish Fry or
Gros Islet Street Party and on Saturdays at the Dennery
Seafood Fiesta.
DANCING
With a variety of cultures calling Saint Lucia home,
music on the island is a melodious mix of styles.
Dance like a local at one of the island’s weekly fish
frys or tap your feet to an international beat at one of
our annual celebrations of music - like the Saint Lucia
Jazz & Arts Festival.
For those planning a July wedding, you can see the
island’s creativity and color come to life at the Saint
Lucia Carnival, where bride, groom and guests can
experience Saint Lucia’s vibrant culture firsthand.

there is no residency period. You can apply for a
marriage license two days before the date of marriage

of US$204. Standard documentation is required:
