St Lucia

St. Lucia is like entering a dream — the dramatic twin peaks of the Pitons rise from the sea, wrapped in tropical mist. After the laid-back vibe of Barbados, St. Lucia felt wild and romantic, a blend of lush rainforest and luxury.

We spent our days exploring Sulphur Springs, hiking up to the Tet Paul Nature Trail for jaw-dropping views, and unwinding at Sugar Beach between those iconic peaks. A sunset catamaran sail along the coast revealed hidden coves and waterfalls tumbling into the sea.

St. Lucia isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling. One of barefoot luxury, tropical scents, and pure escape.
